Alphabetical Team Breakdown part 2

Alright, pop quiz hotshot! You're Indiana University. Much like the state university to the west of you, uhh, Illinois, you're student body is obsessed with basketball. More than that your campus is overrun with those indie rockers all talking about Secretly Canadian Records and Jason Molina this, Jason Molina that. Your sophomore head coach has been having some "major problems" with his head, to put it mildly. What do you do, what do you do?

It's a grim life for Indiana football fans and players, much like being the prehistoric cement mixing pelican in the Flintstones, you approach football as "Ehh, it's a living." However, there is one brillaint, sublime beam of light shining from the heavens...

Blaring Trumpets!!

JAMES HARDY


Yes, friends James Hardy will be a household name in the Midwest by the end of this year. The 6'7" Fort Wayne, IN. native and freak of nature will be itching to put the burn on more secondaries in his sophomore year. And as it looks now all IU's QB Blake Powers [note, this is easily the best pseudonymn for a comic book action hero ever... somebody tell my secretary to get Marvel on line one] will have to do is lob the ball approx. 50 yards down field and in the general vincinity of James Hardy. Here's the catch, IU has got no running game and a porous O-line with Powers getting sacked 27! times last year. Yes, that was more times than Mr. Powers found the end zone.

More exciting news about Hardy is that he's is-apparently-focusing solely on football after arriving in Bloomington as a two star prospect in football and basketball, you were maybe thinking water polo?

So, yeah, look up Hoosier fans you're gonna have some genetic lotto winner playing catch and run for at least another season before he bolts for the pros! Other than that, well, you've got two gimmes on the schedule but don't get too uppity 'cause you still won't even be sniffing at a bowl eligible record this season.
