Hey, did Ball State just win the biggest bowl game ever played*? Ball State should be happy to be the second best team in Indiana.cincibuck;1364184; said:It doesn't help that one of the smallest states in the Big 10 has three 1A football programs, four if you count Ball State, which you should because they were probably the best team in the state this year.
Except NU actually has 3 recent big10 titles and are at least competitive with the non-OSU rest of the conference.I hate to say it, but they'd be better off if they hooked up with Northwestern and both joined the MAC.
ESPN News Service said:Bill Lynch is out as coach at Indiana a day after the Hoosiers capped a 5-7 season with one win in Big Ten play to finish in the conference cellar for the third consecutive season, a source told ESPN.com's Pat Forde on Sunday.
On Saturday, Indiana beat Purdue on the road for the first time since 1996 for the Hoosiers' third Big Ten victory in as many seasons.
Indiana called a news conference for Sunday afternoon "to discuss the future of the Indiana University football program."
Indianan athletic director Fred Glass Glass has recently talked about the importance of honoring contracts, and Lynch has a year left on the deal he signed in November 2007 after guiding Indiana to its first bowl appearance in 13 years.

TexasBuck;1823271; said:Lynch being fired is a head scratcher. 5-7 isn't exactly a poor season for Indiana. Indiana almost beat scUM and Iowa too.
Buckeyefrankmp;1823292; said:I am not surprised by this. I am just surprised they fired him with a year left on his contract. He took them to a bowl and he beat Purdue. What more can you expect from Indiana football. It is not like it is Indiana basketball or soccer. You have to know who you are.
MaxBuck;1823287; said:Mike Leach would be a fascinating coach for the Hoosiers. I think he'd kick DickRod's ass. God knows he can do it with a motley bunch of second-tier players, which is all anyone's ever likely to get to come to Bloomington.
