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 Boilers have to win 3 out of their next 4.
@ Wisconsin
@ Mich
MSU
@IU

Will be tough but none of these teams are unbeatable.

I initially posted on here that we would finish 5 and 3 in the big ten and finish 6 and 6. After loses to NW and Minn I don't see that happening. The loss to Notthwestern is going to haunt us. I think we will beat IU and either MSU or UM but not both. We will finish 5 and 7.

First two are probable losses, the last two are toss-ups, so I vote no.

We would need a series of lucky breaks to win just two of our last four.

If we can continue to win the turnover battle then I think we have a chance in these games, but I think it will be too much to ask for the boilers to win 3 out of 4. We have made some improvements but we really should have beaten IL by a lot more, so we can see that there is still work that needs to be done.

If I could have only 1 more thing happen this season, I'll take a win at michigan... we have not won there since 1966

I wish, but its highly unlikely. This team is playing much better now together, but the fact is there are 3 road games left and only 1 home game. Just based on that fact I say probably not, although I would be pleased if we did pull it off-

i'll give you a 3% of going to a bowl. you will beat IU but that is the only win i see. MSU is much better than their record indicates, and I just don't see you going into Camp-Randall and the Big House and winning.

Ill admit it, i did. This team has been in every games they've played, they just found ways to lose. Now they finally have won two games and the thought of here we go again no longers gets into their head. Plus this is a team that returned only 3 starters on offense all being on the O-line so it was going to take some time. They finally are starting to click alittle bit and Joey has improved alot since the start of the year. That and the fact i think the Big 10 is really weak.

I still think it is a big of long shot but I think they got a decent shot. Could very well be wrong but its my gut feeling.

I said no. I think IU and Purdue both miss out on bowl games this year.

I think UB voted yes. He is going to name his first child Hope.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed
