  Indiana starting running back Darius Willis is listed as “questionable” on the injury report released today. He had been listed as “probable” earlier this week, and sat out practice Monday. Bill Lynch had planned to increase his workload as the week wore on, and said Tuesday he anticipated having the [...]

  Tom Crean invited reporters to a 45-minute workout today. The session began with high energy agility work, as players danced over and around little orange blockades. After a few minutes, Crean stopped practice so that the team could meet and speak with a young boy who was visiting practice. “Do you [...]

  For us, at least, it feels as though basketball season arrived today. Tom Crean held his first press conference, and you could tell that for the third straight year this is a new Hoosiers team. There were so many questions. We could have queried Crean for hours. And he could have [...]

  We do these posts from time-to-time. They’re “off topic,” in many senses. Which is to say, there are no Hoosiers here. But I figure if you guys come to this blog, you care about sports. And you want to read well-reported and written stories about the games we play, and what [...]

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Number of comments: 2
  Indiana just could not handle the faster, more physical Buckeyes. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor controlled the pace of the offense, and Ohio State’s defensive was typically stingy. The Hoosiers could not run the ball early (Darius Willis ran 11 times for 23 yards), and were never able to put Ben Chappell [...]

  Number of comments: 10
  Don’t know how I missed this earlier in the week, but an NCAA cabinet has supported a proposal to allow unlimited phone calls to recruits during a sport’s contact period. The reason? Monitoring phone calls has become too burdensome for compliance officials. So, yeah. All that stuff IU did to get in [...]

  You’ll probably recall a time when Devan Ebanks and Terrell Holloway were signed to play for Indiana.

Ebanks and Holloway slipped out the back door, invoking a clause they had convinced Indiana [...]

  Since Indiana’s 36-33 loss to Michigan on Saturday, there has been much consternation among the suddenly optimistic fans* over Indiana’s failure to convert in the red zone. It advanced to or beyond the Wolverines’ 20-yard line five times and scored only one touchdown. (*It is amazing how quickly a group can [...]

  Indiana head coach Bill Lynch said he “couldn’t see” the disputed interception late in Indiana’s 36-33 loss to Michigan. But, he added, from where he stood it looked like simultaneous possession. Which generally results in the offense keeping the ball. Or so says the rule book. Complete Pass ARTICLE 6. Any forward pass [...]

  Indiana’s latest injury report shows Darius Johnson, a pleasant surprise at DE this year, won’t make the trip to Ann Arbor this weekend. He’s out with a shoulder injury, meaning Indiana will take only four defensive ends into the Big House. Jammie Kirlew and Greg Middleton, who I think will be [...]

  That’s what Mark Schlabach of ESPN is predicting this week. Indiana needs three  more wins to become bowl-eligible. With week six opponent Virginia sitting at 0-3, it seems probable that Indiana will sweep its non-conference schedule. That means the Hoosiers would need to pick off two Big Ten teams. It’s important to [...]
