A Saturday Full of Sports, A Lifetime Full of Emotions

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Jeff Taylor

“Isn’t it great to see so many other IU fans in one place?” I asked my five-year old as we walked through the crowds of red or purple clad football fans around the southern end zone of Ryan Stadium in… Continue Reading →

Football Feelings

Posted on September 3, 2016 by Jeff Taylor

  After dinner, my sister-in-law will sit a big coffee mug on the counter, fill it 3/4 of the way up with milk, dump 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of sugar into it and then top it off with a… Continue Reading →

College Football is Stupid

Posted on December 27, 2015 by Jeff Taylor

Let me start with a disclaimer, what I’m about to say in no way means that you are stupid, or that you shouldn’t like college football. I’m fully of the belief that anyone can enjoy any pastime you like, provided… Continue Reading →

Fred Glass. Beer. Lemonade. Saltines

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Jeff Taylor

I’m in a bit of an excitement crevasse right now. There’s not much that’s moving the needle for me with IU sports. I’ve had a lot of thoughts about our performance at Duke, Tom Crean’s assertion post game that the… Continue Reading →

The Most Reasonable Takeaway from the Ohio State Game

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Jeff Taylor

Saturday was fun wasn’t it? That’s pretty much what my main take away is from our loss to Ohio State 34-27. I could go deep into the implications of having a chance to tie the game on the last play… Continue Reading →

There’s a Photo You’ve Never Seen Before at the End of this Book

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Jeff Taylor

Last week, when Jordan Howard put Indiana ahead 48-41 with :56 to go against Southern Illinois, Brian, an non-IU fan with whom I was watching the game, turned to me and said, “Well, that should do it.” I looked up… Continue Reading →

The Problem with Should

Posted on November 26, 2014 by Jeff Taylor

My therapist would be proud of me for what you are about to read. We’ve been talking a lot about getting rid of the notion of “should.” Nothing “should” happen other than what actually happens. “Should” is something we impose… Continue Reading →

Don’t Sell Yourself Short, IU Football, You’re an Incredible Slouch.

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Jeff Taylor

It’s year four. And Bowling Green. There’s a lot for even the most football-ignorant of us (self-descriptor) to scratch our heads over following the 45-42 loss at Bowling Green yesterday. Here are some perfectly reasonable questions you could be asking… Continue Reading →

Understanding Football Terribleness Through Basketball Metaphor, Like a Good Little Hoosier

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

I’ve struggled with how to approach our loss to Navy on Saturday, largely because my first reaction is exactly the same reaction I’ve had roughly 200 times in the last twenty years, namely, “Well, that’s pretty typical for IU football.”… Continue Reading →

Am I the Normal IU Football Fan, or Something Much Worse?

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

I have a question to ask whose entire premise is based on the answer to another question that I assume is “probably not.” So, before we get to the question I want to ask, let’s first examine the question upon… Continue Reading →
