Indiana Male Sports Update: Relief for Now

Indiana Football pulls back into a good spot to beat Maryland at College Park.

Yesterday was a chilly but heart-warming game for long suffering Hoosier fans.  The hope remains, the hope of a bowl under fifth year coach Kevin Wilson lives on after a dynamic comeback.

Whew! I was there, and after falling down 21-3 in the first quarter I was nervous.

But the Hoosiers did us right and went away winning 47-28.

Now to beat Purdue next week.  High noon. Boilers must go down in West Lafayette!

Indiana should finish 6-6 to get to a post season bowl.

Must ... beat ... Purdue. Possible can go 5-7 and still go bowling, but that would be ugly...

Indiana soccer squad wins today to advance to round of 16. Must play number one seeded Wake Forest next weekend, in Winston-Salem.

They look pretty strong and finished the season well.

IU basketball team plays Monday in Hawai'i.

I have seen them play a couple of times, now 3-0 at home, and they have their weaknesses but score very well, shooting accurately.  All this against marginal talent at home.

We shall see how tough they can play in hostile and neutral environments. Are they big enough?

I like pizza! (from my son).

Good night Hoosier nation!

Peace.

Indiana University Big Sports Hopes, mid November 2015

IU Football team: 4-6 with two games to go. Must win last two games against Maryland and Purdue to have a bowl and progress. Lost a huge heart breaker to Michigan yesterday. Argh! SO close.
I will be at the game Saturday.

IU Basketball team: Got it's first pounding win of the season, going deep in personnel against Eastern Illinois.  Many predict the Hoosiers to do really well this school year; if they do not go Sweet 16 it will be a disappointing season.  Final Four caliber?  We shall see.  It could happen.

IU Men's Soccer Team: Overall record of 12-4-3 at the end of their Big Ten Tourney (they lost in penalty kicks in the semi-finals to Maryland; seeding for NCAA championship tomorrow at 1 pm. They have been playing strongly the last month and I think they have a chance for their 13th championship.  Hopes are solid.
