It's been a while since I posted one of these, but it's also been a while since IU has received a flood of media attention for doing something good.

Brennan's five observations from the week - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN
Since 2008, when Kelvin Sampson's disgraced exit left Indiana with a crater where its basketball program once was, those fans have dealt with frustration and angst and nearly constant failure, at times wondering if the program would ever be relevant again. After Saturday's win over Kentucky, it is.
Welcome Back to Relevance, Indiana Hoosiers - WSJ.com
In college basketball, royalty seldom vacates the throne for very long. Year after year, the same familiar names tend to hold a vise grip on the top spots in the national rankings. Which makes it so hard to believe that Indiana, one of the marquee programs in the sport, has not appeared in the AP top 25 poll since March 10, 2008

"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.''

Hoosier Headlines for August 10, 2011: football media day, Gunner Kiel, and more.

Yesterday was football media day in Bloomington, and there was plenty of information about the quarterback battle, injuries, attrition, and more. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Kevin Wilson's acknowledgement that he may use more than one quarterback. If I recall correctly, that's an about-face from what he said at Big Ten media day last week, but perhaps seeing these guys in action has altered the landscape. Also, freshman OL Ralston Evans is out for the season, and there is a must-read article from ESPN about Gunner Kiel.
Finally, is that Don Fischer with the full sized cassette recorder in the photo above? I thought I was old school with my mini-cassette recorder.

Hoosier Headlines for August 1, 2011: Big Ten Media Days wrap-up.

in Hoosier Headlines
The end of last week generated lots of coverage of Big Ten media days. Here are some articles about the proceedings and other items, football and basketball. The Evansville Courier & Press article, which I listed first, was very interesting and shows that IU's new coach isn't afraid to buck conventional wisdom. Also, Bob Kravitz's own account of Kevin Wilson's jab at him is pretty good. Finally, does anyone else believe that Wilson hasn't watched any film of 2010? Me, either.

Indiana's new football coach goes with video, not playbook " Evansville Courier & Press
Studying film of the Oklahoma passing game in recent years may be the only way to read Wilson's mind. He's one of the few coaches who can guarantee there are no pirated copies of his playbook available to be purchased on the Internet. He said he abandoned the printed X and O habit several years ago, opting for a more audiovisual approach to teaching. "We don't have a playbook because kids don't read," said Wilson. "Also, because they'll just copy it and sell it on eBay I have coaches in the office struggling because they are used to the idea of a playbook and we don't have one." -

"And Wilson is serious. Really serious. And he just got a commitment from one of the top quarterback prospects in the country, Gunner Kiel. Might MSU have to exert itself in coming years to keep the hallowed Old Brass Spittoon in East Lansing?"

Today begins the Big Ten media circus in Chicago, but for now, the news is all Gunner, all the time:
Gunner Kiel Commits To Indiana, Giving Kevin Wilson Blue-Chip Quarterback Recruit - SBNation.com
Gunner Kiel is one of the nation's best quarterbacks in the high school Class of 2012. So it's a bit of a surprise that he has committed to play his college football at Indiana, not known as a powerhouse in any way, shape, or form.
Top-ranked QB prospect Gunner Kiel chooses IU | The Indianapolis Star | indystar.com
The commitment is considered a major victory for first-year IU coach Kevin Wilson, whose track record of grooming quarterbacks at Oklahoma, including No. 1 draft pick Sam Bradford to the St. Louis Rams, played a role in Kiel's decision.
