Impressions of Big Ten Coaches (mgoblog): Exactly what it sounds like. Interesting thoughts on Lynch.  I would add that while Lynch is no Hoeppner-style dynamo, if star ratings are any indication, he actually has recruited better than Hep.

Two hours with Lynch (The Hoosier Scoop): Lots of good stuff here from day 2 of the Big Ten media days.  Lynch says the defensive scheme is fine and that injuries were the problem.  I hope he is right.

Phil Steele's Coaches on the Hot Seat by Phil Steele (Orlando Sentinel): Bill Lynch ranks high, unsurprisingly.  IU plays two other listed coaches in the first six games: #3 Al Groh of Virginia and #7 Rich rodriguez of Michigan (although Brian Cook and others scoff at the idea that Rodriguez is in trouble).  I recently stumbled upon this Orlando Sentinel blog, called College Football 365, and I think it's going to become a daily read.  Lots of good stuff here.  Case in point: this post about the Division I-A revenue rankings for 2007-08 (thank God for the Big Ten Network).  

Indiana hopes for more than a makeover after upgrading facilities (chicagotribune.com): This Chicago Tribune's take on Bill Lynch's comments today.

Cultural Changes (The Indianapolis Star): Hutch lives! His absence from the Big Ten media days isn't the result of a Gannett consipracy, but because he is covering the US Senior Open in Indianapolis this week.

Indiana's Lynch goes Greek for support - (ESPN): Adam Rittenberg mentions Lynch's fraternity/sorority outreach.

IU auditioning kickers (The Journal Gazette): If highly rated freshman Mitch Ewald lives up to his billing, I imagine he will get the job.

Big Ten Luncheon - The Day After (Lake the Posts): "Bill Lynch - Indiana's head coach gets the most improved award. The normally vanilla Lynch had some surprisingly great one-liners and painted a rosy picture in Bloomington thanks to the renovation at Memorial Stadium."

Friendly rivals at the helm of Purdue, IU (Post-Tribune): John Mutka discusses the friendship between IU QB Ben Chappell and Purdue QB Joey Elliott.

Limits not part of Hoosier mind-set (The News-Sentinel): Pete DiPrimio's media day coverage.
