OT: Team CHAOS extended

Submitted by MattAttack on
Kevin Wilson and IU agreed to a 6 year extension. I've enjoyed watching his teams the last few years. Hopefully he can find a DC....as long as we keep the win streak alive. Good thing Harbaugh>CHAOS.

...for giving him the job that he wasn't qualified for?  Or Brandon should still love Michigan for the entire damn administration agreeing to hire him for an AD job he wasn't qualified for?  Sadly, I don't think Brandon was worse than Tom Goss.  At least you can find some of the non-revenue athletes that liked DB.

in WWI and all that did was cost them 1.3 million men. This bloodletting of men in the first world war led them to take a more defensive posture in the second. 

In light of this I don't think it's fair to use that example. France essentially lost an entire generation of young men in WWI. To put that in to perspective France lost in one war what the US has lost in all of their wars combined.

..is that Hitler's Blitzkrieg would have worked if he did not go for it on 4th and 28 at the opponent's 35 (order his army to keep fighing to the last man in Stalingrad when out of supplies and freezing in winter rather than strategically retreat and reallocate resources from the Eastern to the Western front). 

A a commander Hitler was about as good as John L. Smith was as a coach.

Good thing, because he had Alabama level talent in his armed forces.

Then trying to extend that front all the way to Stalingrad was a further error. 

But he compounded his errors even more by failing to realize that he needed to retreat from Stalingrad before losing an army and focus on the Western front. 

With strategic retreat, he might have been able to achieve stalemate and then gotten comparatively favorable peace terms, such as keeping some territories (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, etc.).

If they can just find a respectable defensive coordinator, they could be dangerous.

They can score on anyone. It's that defense that holds them back every year. If they could even be mediocre on defense, or average, they'd be 8-9 win team most every season.

Good to see it.  

If you are Indiana Football, you are going to lose half your games.  It's your destiny.  It's your job to entertain people until Basketball season starts.

So what would you rather have . . . a #CHAOS team that takes the big boys down to the wire and loses in 2OT while the whole country talks about it, or a boring team that loses the same number of games 34-10?

Until Indiana actually beats someone that directly helps us standings, who cares.

Why do people want them to be good?  

Durkin (who I don't like anymore either) goes to Maryland and everyone is like enjoy beating no one and getting fired in 3 years.

The past few years I'd describe Indiana as littler little brother. You know, the accidental child your parents had your senior year of high school. You're away from home now so it's fun to watch all of his sports games; however, you haven't had to listen to the constant whining and "that isn't fair" tantrums of your little brother that you grew up sharing the same room with (and now still crashes at your place without rinsing out his cereal bowls). Sure, littler brother is little and cute, but you still remind him of his place playing 21 in the driveway during the occasional weekend visit.

Good for Wilson. Getting Indiana to a bowl game is an accomplishment. And guess what for those that want to be a perennial power, who cares if Indiana stays okay?

The team should have the mentality that they will beat anybody.
