Half-assed Big Ten preview, part 3: Indiana

Right, so I'm bored and I've got nothing better to do, so I figured I'd try and preview the ten other Big Televen teams after doing as little research as possible. The point is to see if I my totally half-assed predictions are better than the crap you get from "experts". This will not be correct, and it won't be funny either. Done in alphabetical order, of course.

I don't care about Indiana, but I'm sure those creeps at CFN will preview them.

I am mainly using this as an excuse to post stuff about Bob Knight.

THE STORY: "Coach, uh, why do you say 'f***' so much?"

"Well, I really don't think there's any word in the English language that expresses so many different things as the word 'f***' does. You know, you can use surprise; 'Well, I'll be f***ed!'. You can use the word 'f***' to indicate anger; 'F*** you!' You can use the word 'f***' to indicate dismay; 'Oh, f***.' I just think it, probably, is the most expressive word our language has."

OLD TESTAMENT HEP RIDES AGAIN!

(I'm sure you're shocked that BHGP is responsible for that.)

THE COACH:

Tom Crean, 1st year, 196-121 all time, 6-25 at IU.

OFFENSE:

Bob Knight is offensive to some.

QUARTERBACK:

Not Antwaan Randle-El. Edit: Kellen Lewis was kicked off the team. (Thanks, Mike)

RUNNING BACK:

OFFENSIVE LINE:

TIGHT END:

WIDE RECEIVER:

DEFENSE:

Will stink.

DEFENSIVE LINE:

LINEBACKERS:

SECONDARY:

SCHEDULE:

Google "2009 indiana schedule" and it takes you until page 4 to find anything about the 2009 Indiana Hoosiers football schedule.

 9/3 Eastern Kentucky (Probable win)

9/12 Western Michigan (Tossup)

9/19 at Akron (Tossup)

9/26 at Michigan (Loss)

10/3 Ohio State (Loss)

10/10 at Virginia (Loss)

10/17 Illinois (Loss)

10/24 at Northwestern (Probable loss)

10/31 at Iowa (Loss)

11/7 Wisconsin (Loss)

11/14 at Penn State (Loss)

11/21 Purdue (Tossup)

 BEST CASE SCENARIO:

3-1 in OOC play, and wins over Northwestern and Purdue in the Big Ten. 5-7.

The football season is cancelled, and basketball season starts early.

WORST CASE SCENARIO:

IU's basketball team sucks next season. Oh, and 0-12.

PREDICTION:

2-2 in OOC play, losses to everyone in the Big Ten. 2-10.

P.S. I said I was doing this in alphabetical order, and then I did Iowa before Indiana. FAIL.

Its ok Rambler

You did three of these things in 24 hours. Not too shabby.

Plus who wouldn’t want to do the Iowa preview before indianna. I say the first letter is a good enough place to stop the alphabetizing.

"Even though it was bouncing, I knew it was so soft that it was just going to stay in," Battle said. "Then I ran around like a lunatic."

Actually

Kellen Lewis got kicked off the team. So they don’t even have that going for them.

exactly

I mean first off, why would you want your best player to touch the ball on every play, so let’s move him to WR.

Hmm, no, we’re still a little bit competent, let’s just kick him off the team.

I can't believe I seriously just read a preview about Indiana

Seriously

If it wasn’t a requirement to have 75 words on a post, it probably would have been more informative to just leave this preview blank.

Pretty good job, RR!

I love their "best case scenario"

coming off of a 6-25 (1-17) record from last year (no, I don’t actually expect them to be that bad next year. Maybe 8-23 (2-16) ;-)
