Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

The NFL leveled two fines this week that are borderline the dumbest things I've ever seen as a person.

Fine #1 - Justin Tuck - $7,500 - For tackling the quarterback, "with his full body weight"

Fine #2 - LaMarr Woodley - $10,000 - For tackling the quarterback, "in an intimidating manner"

WTF? :banghead:

It's fucking football. Nevermind the fact that Bollinger was midair when Tuck hit him. Or that Tuck put out his arms to try and cushion his fall. This is a TEXTBOOK tackle. This is what you teach every football player to do. Head to the side. Shoulder in the chest. Arms wrapped around.

Oy

The No Fun League strikes again.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

i agree...i haven't seen the 10K fine, but the 7.5K tackle was about as textbook as you can get. it's absolutely ridiculous how much they're protecting the qb's. it's fucking FOOTBALL!

Well thats' good. He still got a flag on the play. And Woodley's fine for tackling in an intimidating manner is just as embarrassing.
