    In less than 5 years Indiana went from getting crushed by Rutgers, and 0-9 in the Big Ten, to

    NIL has de-emphasized the ability of a Coach to sell candy to 17 yr olds while putting more emphasis on coaching and evaluating proven talent. Cigetti did more with less than his competitors. I feel like Schiano is geared for what Cigs did but he needs to rebuild his defense. Fast. We were...

    An Alltime Dumb Defensive Call

    197 yds on only 7 catches. and plenty of PI calls defending him. I'm not complaining about Longerbeam. I'm pointing out our defensive scheme continued to allow him to put him on an island to defend #13 w no help, even after it was clear he #13 was running free. And Illinois exploited it...

    An Alltime Dumb Defensive Call

    The frustrating thing about it was we never changed our strategy to deal with him as it became obvious he was their primary and only weapon in the 2nd half.

    An Alltime Dumb Defensive Call

    If we're missing all these DBs why did we have Longerbeam on an island with #13 the entire game? Give the guy some help. If Illinois realized this earlier the game would not have even been close.

    Defense tightened up but the drops and poor special teams play has plagued us all season. Hopefully those can be corrected.

    OT: Irish Americans — Murphys vs Guinness

    I prefer Murphys but there is definitely a different taste if you have it in Ireland. It tastes so much better in Ireland. Guinness in Ireland doesn't seem to have the same aftertaste IMO. Although, I still like Guinness enough to order it over most beers at a bar. I never see Murhpys at a...

    OT: Short Waterfront Getaway with Wife Recommendations

    If you and your wife are foodies, Cape May has the best food on the Jersey shore, IMO and its a great place with the beach, wineries, breweries, etc. Jim Thorpe is a hidden gem if you like the outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing, etc). I'm sure there are hotels in town but plenty to do once...

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    I like Mainline Pizza in Little Falls for basic pizza. Star Tavern for thin crust. For Brick Oven specialty pie, I would say Vesta in Carlstadt. Sicilian, Brunos in Clifton

    Rapid Reaction - Seton Hall

    Defense played with intensity and we actually had movement on offense for the first time this season. Me-ball was dead this game. let's hope it sticks.

    Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 24 Illinois 76-58

    I feel like that's 80pct of our team. Davis, Simpson, Hyatt, Wolf, Williams We need some displine on offense to control the shot selection.

    Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 24 Illinois 76-58

    If Pike pulls this team together by February, he deserves coach of the year. Totally undiscipined offense. weak rebounding. horrible shot selection, weak finishing. I think this team is good so I'll give defense a pass
