First of all, we really appreciate all the comments you have posted in the previous entries. It's nice to see the our readership continue to rise and we hope to keep giving you the best coverage possible. We've had a few questions surrounding high school player Kory Barnett.
So, I spoke to Blake Powers today for two reasons. One, I needed to talk to him about an article that I'm writing.
With just 16 days until the start of practice, there are reports that several high-profile recruits will be at Assembly Hall Oct.
I'm sorry Indiana fans, but you are really lacking in the creativity department. At least in comparison to the Iowa Hawkeye faithful.
If you read the IDS Big Ten Preview today you may have noticed that of all the 'Staff Predictions' I was the only one who thinks Indiana is going to beat Iowa on Saturday.
I had the opportunity to talk to Tyler Zeller this evening about his visit to Bloomington last weekend.
Everyone who watched Saturday's game would agree that the Hoosiers need to play better against Iowa to obtain their fourth victory of the season. The question Bill Lynch and his staff are asking is how do the Hoosiers need to change?
I cannot stress how important the Illinois game was to this team. At 4-0, all the Hoosiers would need for the rest of this year is two more wins.
I know the best in the business Matt Dollinger already said it, but there's no reason to panic just yet.
-- Indiana 14, Illinois 27, -- [FINAL] IU was unable to pull off any last minute heroics. After driving most of the field, Lewis threw an interception from inside Illinois's five-yard line and the Illini kneeled the ball to end the game. The Hoosiers weren't able to establish any consistency on both ends of the ball.
I hate the phrase "biggest game of the year." Shouldn't your next game always be the biggest? Should the Hoosiers focus on the forest instead of the trees and use the Illinois game as a warm-up to the Old Oaken Bucket game?
24 hours from now IU will either be 4-0 or 3-1. There are a few lingering keys to this game that I don't feel have got enough attention. * While Juice Williams and Rashard Mendenhall are the stars of the Illini offense, the X factor is wide receiver Arrelious Benn.
Hey guys, I'd like to put together a mailbag for us to answer all of your IU football-based questions on our blog, "Under the Rock." If you would be so kind, please send your questions, comments, or concerns to ljhurwit@gmail.com.
Gearing up for the Big 10 season, IU's last two practices have been, in a word, intense. Yesterday after practice the team did wind sprints, and today things were noticable chippy.
How big of a rivalry does IU have with U of I? We have a Memorial Stadium, they have a Memorial Stadium.
IU coach Kelvin Sampson had members of the media at Assembly Hall today to talk about the Coaches vs.
If you haven't heard about Tyler Zeller, you just have not been paying attention. The 6ft 10in five-star (according to www.rivals.com) center from Washington, Indiana has been one of the most sought after players in the nation this year.
In response to a comment from the infamous "Ron Paul," we wanted to write and let folks know student season basketball tickets are on sale.
High School senior Tom Pritchard committed to Kelvin Sampson's 2008 recruiting class, according to recruiting service www.scout.com. Pritchard, a 6-8 forward, impressed scouts during the tail end of the summer travel team circuit.
Some quicky stats on the Fighting Illini so far: * U of I is 2-1. Dropping its opener to Missouri before beating Western Illinois at home and Syracuse on the road.
