Return to the Glory Days: An Indiana Hoosiers Dynasty

Coach Thompson Receives Commitments from Butler and Harvey

Bloomington, IN - Coach Thompson 10 hours a week dedicated to recruiting high school athletes is paying off, as he landed 2 more recruits today to move his total up to 3.

Steven Butler, a 6'2 234 pound Defensive End from Jasper, Indiana, is the best player Indiana targeted this year. A four star recruit, he was ranked #81 on Rivals.com Top 100 High School Football Players. "I knew that Coach Thompson would be the right coach for me," he said after making his verbal commitment. "I want to go to the NFL, and with his NFL experience, I feel I'll have the best shot of making it under his tutoring." This kid could use some SCHOOL tutoring, as his 2.1 GPA worried scouts across the country.

Their other incoming freshman, Malcolm Harvey, is a 3 star Outside Linebacker from Albion, Michigan. At 6'3 and 220 pounds, he is a beast at stopping the run. "Scouts had me labeled as one of the top run-stopping defenders in the country," he told us, "but my awful pass defense knocked me down 2 stars. I could have been a freakin 5 star!"

With 3 recruits under his belt, Thompson hopes to get more recruits this week, as 6 players are visiting to watch IU take on Illinois.

Nice getting a 4 star recruit!

Why are you recruiting Donny Jones who is a 1 star recruit? Does he have a special attribute or something you like?

no, the computer threw him on a while ago. i'm just ignoring the 1 and 2 star recruits, and they're liking iu anyway .

Ben Chappell's 6 Picks Cost IU the Game

Bloomington, IN - Indiana could have been made bowl eligible this game. Instead, Ben Chappell threw away the game, and Indiana will have to wait longer to head to a bowl game.

We all know Ben Chappell plays a lot like Brett Favre. A great leader, but a huge risk-taker. But unlike the Packers great, Chappell can't make the big throws. Whenever he throws deep, it's picked off. Whenever he throws a drag or out route, it's picked off. The only throws he can complete are when the receiver is so wide open, you could shut your eyes and throw the ball with your opposite hand, and he'd still catch the ball. He's a great leader and a positive thinker, but he's just not that good. And today, his tendency to throw INTs really hurt the Hoosiers.

He threw 3 in the first 3 drives. Yeah, he was that bad. You might even say he sucked. But after that, he started to get things under control, leading Indiana down the field on a few drives. But at the start of the 2nd half, he fell apart again, throwing 2 quick interceptions. Illinois took advantage, scoring points to stretch out their lead over Indiana. But the Hoosiers came roaring back, tying the game and eventually sending it into overtime.

There, Ben Chappell went back to work, overthrowing Ray Fisher on 4th down to end the game. "I sucked #*%)@& Balls!" he said after the game.

Indiana goes on the road to face #15 Northwestern next week.

Your passing is really hurting your club. Completing just around 50% and a 9-19 TD-INT ratio is tough to overcome. If you are able to fix that I think you could go on a nice winning streak. Keep up the good work dude.
