Few thoughts on IU football. Coach Allen has worked hard to improve the program. He deserves our support. He also deserves appropriate criticism for this season. He deserves time to fix this. The program deserves our support in last two games & next season Go Hoosiers!

To my Hoosier followers. Understanding this IU basketball team has some concerns. I ask you to stay with these guys. Patience is painful. I get it. However, in a time period of stressful issues, I choose not to let sports be a constant negative. Next game. Let’s Go Hoosiers

Seeing the comments that E. J. Liddell of Ohio St is receiving on Instagram is disturbing. It shows that every fan base has a fringe element of crazy & stupid. When it reaches the student athlete it really is bad. DO NOT TAG/DM ATHLETES at all. Leave them be!
