With the news that Indiana Hoosier quarterbacks Dusty Kiel and Ed Wright-Baker have left the program coming on the heels of former IU commit Gunner Kiel’s commitment to LSU, you’d think things are pretty bad in Bloomington. But that’s a tricky statement because things are always bad in Bloomington when it comes to college football. While losing Kiel the Younger to LSU stings...

Basketball might briefly take a backseat in Bloomington as the Hoosiers have landed blue chip QB prospect Gunner Kiel.

New Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is trying to change the impression that his team is just a Big Ten bottom-feeder, one crazy radio interview at a time. 

Head football coach Kevin Wilson has come up with a unique idea to help turn around the program: moving over to the east sideline of Memorial Stadium for the team's home opener, closer to the student section.

A year ago, Rodger Saffold was the first pick in the second round and ended up starting all 16 games for the Rams as a Continue Reading » [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Memorial Stadium will play host to Saturday's game between Indiana and South Carolina State. There is a tendency in college football to automatically write off any FCS school who comes in to play a FBS school, especially if the host is a member of a conference with an automatic BCS bid. But lately, those kinds of upsets are more of a common occurrence. In 2007 Appalachian State...

After losses in each of their first two games this year, Indiana is now looking to head into Big Ten action with a .500 record. The Hoosiers will face the struggling North Texas Mean Green in Denton, Texas this Saturday. North Texas has not had much luck on the gridiron in recent years. The Mean Green are still looking for their first victory of 2011 and they have won only 13 games...

It isn’t a good year for football in Central Indiana. The Indianapolis Colts are likely without Peyton Manning for the entire season and have started off the year 0-3. North of Indy, the Purdue Boilermakers are 2-1, but the victories have come in a squeaker against Middle Tennessee State and a demolition of an unimpressive Southeast Missouri State. The Boilers fell to Rice in week...

Around the Hall is recommended reading from the Inside the Hall crew. So go ahead, get your read on.

Indiana Hoosiers wide receiver Damarlo Belcher announced that he will stay with the program and skip the 2011 NFL Draft this year.

The Indiana Hoosiers have lost their second starting receiver in two days. Less than 24 hours after announcing senior Damarlo Belcher had been kicked off the team for violating team rules, coach Kevin Wilson says receiver Duwyce Wilson will miss the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Belcher and Wilson were expected to be Indiana's top two receivers...

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana Hoosiers’ offensive tackle James Brewer has accepted the invite to play in the 2011 Senior Bowl. He will be playing on the North team. The Hoosiers have had a good set of offensive tackles for the past two seasons. Brewer has done well with IU this season, helping out to much of the success of Ben Chappell. “James had a solid career for the...

In terms of numbers the Hoosiers will lose more defensive backs than any other position next season. Some of these include safeties Mitchell Evans, Aaron Burks, and Kyle Dietrick along with corners Matt Ernest, Adrian Burks, and Richard Council. The Hoosier secondary has been injury prone the last couple of years which has forced a handful of different players to see the field. As...

I’m not quite sure that was the way the Indiana University football team wanted to begin its new era. Playing their first game of the 2011 season and under new coach Kevin Wilson, the Hoosiers looked pretty much like, well, the Hoosiers — the IU teams of the last three seasons under Bill Lynch and the IU teams throughout the program’s history — in a 27...

I’m sure our audience’s patience has been exasperated by our insistence on bringing you constant ramblings involving Indiana University football. But hey, we’re proud alums and apparently enjoy self-torture. But just when you think it can’t get any worse, another fall Saturday rolls around. Luckily, I was at a wedding Saturday night and wasn’t able to...

Most of us expected No. 16 Iowa to beat Indiana with ease on Saturday afternoon, but when all was said and done Indiana should have won the game.  The Hoosiers led for much of the game, but Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi hooked up with Marvin McNutt for a 52-yard score that gave the Hawkeyes an [...]

What a day for Indiana Hoosiers’ quarterback Ben Chappell. In his final game as a College Football quarterback, Chappell had a good, record-breaking day with the Hoosiers. This helped as IU beat the Purdue Boilermakers for the Old Oaken Bucket in a 34-31 victory. It marked the first team since 1996 that the Hoosiers beat Purdue in an away game. IU now ends the year with a 5...

Reported by the IndyStar I haven’t seen this announced anywhere but apparently Indiana University is planning to honor late IU football coach Terry Hoeppner today by renaming “The Rock” in the north end zone at Memorial Stadium “Hep’s Rock.” The festivities will take place at halftime and there will be a video presentation of some sort as well. Coach Hep’s widow, Jane...
