Indiana Fills Needs for Next Year with Two More Recruits

Bloomington, IN - During their visits to the Indiana campus last week, Anderson Wells and Jake McKinney saw Indiana in a way that they could have never imagined; Indiana University has a beautiful campus, great academics, great athletic programs, and great students. Because of this, both of these high schoolers signed a letter of intent to play for the Indiana Hoosiers starting next year.

Anderson Wells, the #1 recruit in the nation, is one of the best punters ever to come out of high school. With good accuracy and an amazingly strong leg--this past season, he recorded a 95 yard punt. It didn't hit the ground until the ball had soared over 80 yards--Wells is a shoe-in for the 2016 NFL Draft. "Yeah, I'm good," he said over the telephone, "but I don't think I'm that good. People are already thinking I'll go to the NFL? They don't know what they're talking about. I'm only going to go to the NFL if I have an 'outstanding' career at Indiana." With Chris Hagerup graduating this season, Thompson badly needed a punter for next year. He was looking for a punter with a strong leg but still an accurate one. "Wells will work," said Thompson.

The other recruit, Jake McKinney, was the 5th ranked corner back in this year's recruiting class. He recorded only two interceptions this past season, and many coaches figured he was overrated. "He's worthless shit," said Arkansas coach Urban Meyer, who left Florida last year in favor of a 6 year, $179 million dollar contract, "He only had two interceptions! My backup kicker could have done better than that." But what these coaches didn't notice was that he was thrown to 5 times this past year. "I'm a shut-down corner," said McKinney. "I don't care if the colleges don't call. In my heart, I am the best corner back in this recruiting class, and that's what counts." McKinney came to Indiana because he has a chance to start on a great team. "That, and the fact that no one else called me," he said with a smile."

These two recruits gives Thompson a total of 7 recruits on the year. This is the 2nd most in the NCAA (Florida Atlantic has recruited 12 players already), but because all the recruits are 4 and 5 star players, Indiana has the top recruiting class in the nation so far.

The #1 recruit is a Punter? Woooooow! And a 95 yard punt? Even more woooooow!

His power is 99....which is nuts for a high school kicker. What I did was I simmed ahead a year (didn't save, don't worry, I just wanted to see how good he was). Then on first and 10 I punted with a 25 mile per hour wind. The ball bounced well and went 95 yards and it didn't land until like the 20 yard line. It was an 80 yard kick. Freakin nuts. Can't do it again, but it was pretty ballin.


probably not gonna do the game update tonight, but i'll get it finished so i can post it tomorrow

Indiana Takes Worst Team in NCAA to School

Champaign, IL - Indiana came into today's game as the 8th best team in America. Illinois came in as the worst. The different in abilities really showed today as the Hoosiers trounced the Fighting Illini, 71-0.

"We just completely dominated," said assistant coach Rick Assenmouth. "It got to the point where we were doing everything in our power to not score 200 points. This team is just terrible." Replied Illinois coach Henry Anderson, who replaced Ron Zook after the latter's firing last season. "We aren't the worst team in the NCAA. Just because we lose all of our games in the Big 10, the best conference in the NCAA, doesn't mean we're the worst team in the country. You should have known that."

Indiana jumped out to a 21-0 lead in less than a minute because of Illinois turnovers and great defensive plays by the Hoosiers. They scored on a 51 yard touchdown pass from Jammone Chester to Damarlo Belcher, then a Drew Gray interception (he was injured on the play, but we'll talk about that later) set up a 15 yard touchdown run by Deleon Eskridge. "I knew it was over after that minute," said Illinois quarterback Jacob Charest. He went on to throw four interceptions during the game.

For the most part, the rest of the game was smooth sailing. Indiana's stifling defense completely shut down the Illinois offense. It's actually not that impressive considering the Fighting Illini have been shut out 3 times this season. But what is impressive is the six turnovers they created, the 45 yards Illinois collected in the second and third quarters combined, and the fact that they sacked Jacob Charest 13 times. "Today was the best defensive output by our team this season," said head coach Anthony Thompson.

But not everything about today's game was great. Indiana's starting LOLB, Drew Gray, broke his elbow during his interception return in the 1st quarter. "When my elbow hit the ground, I heard a pop and then felt searing pain all the way up my arm," he said after the game. "I knew I had done something serious do it, but I didn't know that my season was done."

Indiana hopes to continue their dominance against Northwestern next week.

Great defense. 13 sacks is pretty impressive. Too bad about Gray, but I am sure someone will step up.

I think it's more of the fact that Illinois sucks than the fact that my defense was outstanding. But thanks anyway. Yea, I'm pretty disappointed Drew Gray went down. I thought I would finally go the entire year without any major injuries, and then he goes down. But I'll bounce back.

13 sacks? For real? Wow. Illinois must really suck

Their best offensive lineman has an overall rating of 74.

:dontknow:


All right guys, here's a problem. I just finished my game against Northwestern, and I realized that I need new--and very difficult--silders. Anyone have any good ones?

I'll squeeze an update in before I go to the Colts game, then I'll have one after it

Ohio State Beats Penn State, Raises Indiana's Chances for Rose Bowl Birth

University Park, PA - The game of the week for Week 9 pitted the #6 Penn State Nittany Lions and the #5 Ohio State Buckeyes. Since both teams had one loss within the Big 10, the loser would fall to 5th in the conference--and probably would lose their chance at a Rose Bowl Birth. As it turned out, the Ohio State Buckeyes dominated from start to finish, winning 41-14.

The loss, Penn State's second in the conference, gave Indiana a better shot at winning the Big 10 (and playing in the Rose Bowl). The Hoosiers are undefeated in the Big 10 including a victory over the Buckeyes, 19-14. If the Hoosiers can win three of their last four conference games (they play Northwestern, Michigan State, Penn State, and Purdue), they will win the Big 10. Northwestern is winless in the Big 10, Purdue is .500 in conference play, and the Michigan State Spartans are 1-2. Indiana should easily win all of those games. "If we continue playing the way we have been, we'll win the Big 10 easily," said starting quarterback Jammone Chester, who hasn't thrown an interception the past 3 games. "As of late, there is no team in the country that we can't beat. We're awesome."

Their only expected challenge, a road game against the #11 Penn State Nittany Lions, will be a game that comes down to the wire. Even though Penn State is sliding down the national polls, they are still a formidable opponent. "We have always had trouble against Penn State," said head coach Anthony Thompson. "This will prove to us that we can play with the big boys."

After their Big 10 season is done, they will face a strong Arizona Wildcats team (they are 14th in the country as of today). The game will be a fun game to watch, but it will not be crucial to the outcome of the Hoosiers season because Indiana's not going to the National Championship game.

Terror in Hoosier Land
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indiana's Starting Center Found Dead in Apartment, Possible Homicide

(AP) - Indiana's injured starting center, Will Matte, was found dead in his apartment complex yesterday due to multiple gunshot wounds to his head.

Matte, who has had many off-field troubles throughout this year, broke his arm earlier this season and was going to sit out the rest of the Hoosiers' games. "He was our best offensive lineman," said Anthony Thompson, "but he worried me because of all his personal problems. When he had the injury to his arm, I didn't have any choice but to bench him for the remainder of the year."

Will Matte caused a serious car accident earlier this year and ended up killing a person who was involved. He was charged with a DWI and 1st degree manslaughter, but for some reason was not cut from the team. "He was truly sorry," said Athletic Director Fred Glass. "I knew I should have removed him from the football team, possibly even expelled him, but I just couldn't do it. He was one of the nicest people you will ever meet, even if he had many personal issues." Maybe if he had been cut, all of this would have been avoided.

The only current evidence is that there are three holes in his skull that could only have been made by bullets. But somehow, the bullets were removed from Matte's head before police arrived on the scene. "My guess would be that he committed suicide and that the bullets went straight through his head and into the floor, but nothing's for sure yet," said Dr. Jamison Alexander, who was present on the scene all last night searching for evidence, "but there is an almost equal chance that he could have been murdered. Without a weapon or any suspects, we can't conclude anything."

No other information is available at this time.

[packersfan4eva]

Wow....interesting twist you went with. Can't say I've seem "homicide" in a NCAA plot line before.

Thanks. I'm hoping that it will lead to some very interesting updates in the future, but we'll just have to wait and see. I didn't like Will Matte much anyway, so now he's gone for good

 

[packersfan4eva]

Recruiting update tonight, then one or two more updates before I post the game update.
