With only four games left in the regular season, it is put up or shut up time for Indiana. Coming off a disappointing meltdown against Michigan State, the Hoosiers venture out to the road again, where they have won just three times all season in seven tries. While home court isn’t quite the same this season, Rutgers continues to be a tough out at the Rutgers Athletic Center, where they are 36-9 over the last two seasons and will be hosting a senior night on Wednesday. But winners of just five of their last 13 contests, the Scarlet Knights have…

The Indiana football program announced on Monday that its spring practice season will begin on Tuesday, March 9. The program will also host its pro day on April 2. IU has yet to announce whether it will hold a 2021 spring game, and if it does, whether fans will be permitted to attend. Indiana held four spring practices last year before the remaining sessions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hoosiers are scheduled to open the 2021 season on Sept. 4 at Iowa.

This isn’t going well. And it could end worse. Much worse. Looking ahead at the two “easy” games remaining on Indiana’s schedule — Rutgers and Michigan State — the Hoosiers have already lost to both of them. At home. Decisively. And then there is another road trip to face a Purdue program that IU hasn’t defeated in five years. Five years. You already know all too well that Archie Miller has never defeated the Boilermakers since he took over the program for the 2017-18 season. Indiana’s only home game remaining comes against a top-5 Michigan program that Miller has also…
Like just about everything else with IU football, it has been since the late 60s since we’ve seen this. Indiana’s basketball program is floundering, while the football program is fresh off a season in which it appeared in the AP top-10 five times. Head coach Tom Allen’s Hoosiers finished the 2020 season 6-2 with wins over Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin, and the expectations are that his team will open the 2021 campaign ranked inside the top-15. It has been a major turnaround for a program that has historically been thought of as one of the nation’s worst.…
