Return to the Glory Days: An Indiana Hoosiers Dynasty

[packersfan4eva]

Around the NCAA update today, maybe recruiting. Not sure yet

 

[packersfan4eva]

Just wondering...how do you "cheat" in recruiting?

If you remove a player from your database after you've offered him a scholarship, the offer goes away. So if your school his first in his interest, you can remove him and put him back on your list then save the dynasty. Then you can offer him a scholarship, and if he doesn't commit to your school just exit out of your dynasty and go back in. After 10-15 minutes, he'll commit and you spent 15 recruiting minutes to snag a guy.

Awww, c'mon man! You gotta beat Purdue for the Big Ten Title??? Good Luck!

Just the way I like it

whoa whoa whoa....terrelle pryor is throwing for 350 yds and 5 tds without a pick? ...sounds about right...

Yep, LOL. Does sound about right. But I'm just writing down the stats that were listed on the Heisman watch list, and they don't list turnovers of any kind. So for all we know he could have thrown 20 or 30 interceptions.


One, maybe two updates today

 

[packersfan4eva]

Fuck this, my sister's on the computer with paint and my mom is on the other computer with paint, so I can't do the update until they get off.

Nice recruiting! 4

and 7

! With more on the way! Great job.

Thanks man.

Yo Packers, looks like your turning Indiana into that powerhouse you were striving for in the beginning, and this looks great as always dude

I haven't succeeded until Indiana wins a National Championship though, so they aren't a real powerhouse yet.


I'm starting an update now, and if you're wondering why I'm posting at 12:00, it's because we had a snow day today

2011 Old Oaken Bucket Preview

(AP) - The 2011 Old Oaken Bucket battle between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Purdue Boilermakers is currently the most anticipated football game of the year for both of these teams. The annual Oklahoma-Oklahoma State rivalry game has been bumped off the ESPN lineup because of this game, all of the tickets have been sold, and there are over 50 million viewers expected to watch the game. Why? Indiana has a chance to do something that has never happened in the Big 10; they have a chance to win their first outright Big-10 Championship and earn a spot in the National Championship Game. True, they will have to face a tough Arizona team on the road two weeks after tomorrow. But a win today will lock up the Big 10 title, and that will probably force the computers to put them in the BCS Title game.

That being said, Purdue is no pushover. They have won their fair share of big games this year (they upset USC on the road, they upset now #5 Georgia, and they lost to Boise State by 3 points), but they also have blown countless games that they should have won (Purdue gave up 42 straight points to Michigan State in a 45-38 loss). "If they could redo their season, they would probably be a top 25 team," said Hoosiers coach Anthony Thompson. "They are a very good team, and we will definitely have a hard time against them."

The Boilermakers are 5-6 with two wins in the Big 10 and will probably miss a bowl game for a third straight year. Indiana is 8-1 and 2nd in the country. So what could possibly make this game watchable? There have actually been quite a few amazing games in this series:

1930: Indiana (1-6 at the time of the game) upset the one-loss Boilermakeres 10-6
1936: Indiana and Purdue fought to a 20-20 tie, resulting in both teams finishing 3rd in the Big 10
1945: Indiana won their only conference title with a 26-0 win over the Boilermakers
1948: Purdue won the bucket from Indiana for the first time in 5 years
1962: Winless Indiana upset the Boilermakers 12-7, giving the Hoosiers their first win over Purdue in 15 years.
1967: Indiana upset #3 ranked Purdue, which gave Indiana a tie for the lead in the conference and the Hoosiers first trip to the Rose Bowl (they lost to USC once they got there)
2007: Indiana beat the Boilermakers 27-24 on a 49 yard field goal with 30 seconds left. The win placed Indiana in their first bowl game since 1992 (they lost this bowl game also).

Could we see another gigantic upset tomorrow? Tune in to ESPN at 8:00 to find out.

Wait, you don't get Presidents' Day off?

Good luck against Purdue

Our archbishop canceled school the day after the Super Bowl in exchange for President's day because the Colts were playing and everyone could watch the game. But, we got like 5 inches of snow and our school system canceled school today anyway

[packersfan4eva]

my tube is already tuned man. i'm pumped to see how this goes. knowing this thread, it's gonna be pretty intense. great job recruiting so far too

It was intense

Well, your close to that, and your a whole lot farther than hoping to get 3 wins like you were in the beginning, 1 more season or so and i see that National Championship in Indiana :star:

We'll just have to wait and see . I hope I win one soon.

Get that damned bucket!!

YESSS FUCK PURDUE NIGGA

 

[packersfan4eva]

oh wow nice! great win bro!

Thanks man. Glad to have you following

Nice win, and good job sealing the deal late

Thanks steelers. It took me a while, but I finally got rolling. Glad I could finally cruise past Purdue in the end and win the game. Old Oaken Bucket's mine!

YESSS FUCK PURDUE NIGGA

Glad you feel the same way about Purdue as I do. Hate their guts.


The past 2 minutes has like ruined my whole view of this chise. Is anyone else seeing the updates really small, so you have to click on them and them zoom in to see the full size? This is the first time it's ever happened to me, and it's ruining the look of my updates.

EDIT: Just figured out the reason. VSN installed an image resizer which makes any picture above 600 pixels shrink down. It's happening in everyone's chise, so until that's fixed this will look a little funny, and you'll have to click on the picture and then zoom in to see the full size.

BTW, I'll have another update tonight

 

[packersfan4eva]

Crap, no update tonight. Studying for a test is taking too long, and I won't be able to squeeze one in. Definitely will update tomorrow though

Success! Indiana Seals Outright Big 10 Title With Win

West Lafayette, IN - With their 3rd consecutive win over the Purdue Boilermakers, Indiana has secured their first outright Big 10 title in school history.

"It's a great honor to be considered the top team in the Big 10," said quarterback Jammone Chester, who contributed to the Hoosiers victory with his 200+ yard and 2 touchdown performance against the much-hated Boilermakers. "I feel that after all the hard work we have put into this program, we were the most deserving team to win the Big 10 this year. Ohio State and Penn State win it every year, and I think it's in the best interest of college football for a new team to take reign over the midwest."

From the opening kickoff until the end of the first half, Purdue was in control of the game. Their defense was stout, their offense was like a machine--steady and quickly moving--and their fans were extremely distracting to the Indiana players. "I could barely here myself think," said coach Anthony Thompson.

They rode their home-field advantage to a 20-10 lead early in the second quarter, and for fans around the country it looked as if Indiana would blow their chance as the top team in the conference. But whatever comes up must go down, and from that point on Purdue started falling apart. First it was their defense backs, who suddenly allowed Indiana receivers to find all the holes in their defense. Then the rest of the defense followed suit by allowing Deleon Eskridge to break the 1,300 yard rushing mark late in this period. Then finally the offense collapsed as well. Caleb TerBush, who was on pace to throw for 485 yards and 5 touchdowns, basically went into a stand-still, throwing terrible passes and setting himself up for 2nd or 3rd and longs. Indiana took advantage of this and scored just as the half ended, trimming the Purdue lead to a measly 3 points.

The start of the second half meant the end of the game for the high-as-fuck Purdue Boilermakers. TerBush threw a perfect pass over the middle on their first play of the half, but the receiver was hit immediately after the ball hit his hands and it popped into the air. Jerimy Finch, who has been a key aspect to this dominant Hoosier defense, made the gave-changing interception and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Hoosiers their first lead of the game. It was a lead that they would not relinquish, and they continued their domination the rest of the game. A couple of big plays by the Boilermaker offense kept it close, but Purdue remained silent on defense; they had no answer to the one-two punch of Eskridge and Chester. "The Hoosiers have the best offense I've ever seen," said Purdue coach Matt Painter, "and we had no way of competing with them."

Indiana enjoys a bye week next week, followed by their regular season-ending match up with the Arizona Wildcats.
