"In (last year's) no-huddle, we called the play at the line and we controlled the tempo,'' Belcher said. "But this is different. In our offense now, as soon as the official puts the ball in play, we're going. It's pretty much you look at the QB, get your read and we're off.''

Indiana football: 4 Hoosiers to watch - Chicago Tribune
"Offense: Darius Willis: Everything pointed in the right direction for running back Darius Willis. As a freshman, he galloped 85 yards for a touchdown against Michigan. He also started strong last year."
The News Dispatch > Archives > Sports > Columnists > Indiana's Wilson making waves
"Wilson’s resume seems in line with what Indiana was looking for after dismissing Bill Lynch after last year’s 5-7 season. In 2008, he was named the nation’s top assistant coach and played a significant role in the development of former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson and quarterback Sam Bradford, both of whom have done pretty well for themselves since entering the NFL. It was time for Wilson to become the main man, and I believe him landing in Bloomington was a great catch for the Hoosiers and I’m looking forward to seeing what he is going to be able to develop in the next few years."
RANDY BEARD COLUMN | Tom Izzo favors 'right way' in life, NCAA " Evansville Courier & Press
Izzo doesn't expect Crean to finish worse than .500 this season. "They've got the right guy doing the job. I know that from first hand knowledge because he helped me build my program," said Izzo. "I think you are already going to see with (Cody) Zeller getting there now, they are making some serious progress. Tom is a builder and you are going to see that program take off."

Didn't know IU and Ball State have a rivalry? Me either. But if you aren't acquainted with the level of bitterness and hatred hardcore BSU fans (both of them!) have for IU, here's a taste. In all seriousness, Alan at OTP does a nice job, and will be worth reading next week.

I would tend to agree with Izzo on Crean being a builder
I get the opinion that he is a fixer. Still not sold on whether he is a “winner” as well.

That Ball State attitude seems to be best summed up by this picture:

Even as the resident BSU fan anytime someone references SpaceBalls, that’s A+.

"Rivalry"
I am positive it’s more of a rivalry on the BSU side, sort of like the Maryland-Duke basketball rivalry. Having worked at UMD and having friends at Duke, they aren’t even in the same universe in terms of evaluation of that rivalry.
Having said that, I think the reception some BSU fans got in Bloomington in 08 as well as the small (but vocal and ridiculous) messageboard crowd and them acting like BSU was no better educationally than Ivy Tech sort of ruffled some feathers then.

Eh. the TSIB stuff has been going on for longer than that. I find the Duke-Maryland comparison…charitable. Those schools have been ACC adversaries for a long time, and both schools have won NCAA titles in the last decade, although Duke has been much more consistently successful. IU and Ball State have played in football only five times, all since 1997, and IU leads 4-1. I hope that IU’s seniors remember 42-20 very, very well. In doing a little research for a future post, I determined that IU’s record against current members of the MAC is 34-6-1. None of that is to say that IU shouldn’t take the game seriously, and it’s far from a gimme. It’s hard to know what to expect out of two teams with new coaching staffs, lots of personnel changes, on an unfamiliar neutral field in the season opener.

Agreed about the last part.
Anyone’s guess what happens and an exciting game in such an environment could be good for both programs.

I was at that game (I was in grad school at IU at the time) and I know the crowd ribbed Ball State for being a “safety school” and all that. One kid even brought an acceptance letter from IU and held it behind the Ball State bench and yelled “here’s something you’ll never see!” With that said, however it isn’t that different from what many of the students did when IU was playing Purdue or any other school we saw as academically inferior like Michigan State. Of course I was annoyed with how badly IU played in that game and how it pretty much set the tone for an awful season (the fact that it was my last semester as a student at IU didn’t help matters) but I don’t really see the IU-Ball State game as a revenge game or even a rivalry. It’s almost like playing your little brother, sometimes he wins but you just shrug it off in the perspective of the ten times before and the ten times after that you won.
