Hoosiers Halftime

I'm watching Indiana-Virginia on ESPN360.com, which would be a lot cooler if IU wasn't down 30-0 at the start of the third quarter.

The announcers have so far talked about baseball's Slaughter Rule (why can't we keep the clock running?), and also how tired the Hoosiers defense looks.

Al Groh is pacing the sidelines with a look on his face like "aw man, I don't want to get fired, but we are really whipping these guys! can we put in the second stringers yet?"

When Groh is worried about making you look bad, you might need a new head coach.

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Indiana Hoosiers!

UPDATE: Down 37-0, but Terence Turner just made an awesome flying one-handed catch. Darius Willis was out for this game. Ben Chappell looks bad. Really bad. Turner had to rotate backwards across his body to make his grab, which was really amazing. And we've gotten two holding penalties on this "drive" already.

This team drives me nuts. Great talent at wide receiver, a defense that should be good, four capable running backs and a veteran offensive line. How is IU this bad? How?

Announcers on Doss: "Well, great play. He just.... finds an empty hole... squats in it..." ::awkward silence:: "and Virginia fans are getting restless."

UPDATE: Just missed a field goal. Still a shutout. Why were we kicking a field goal down 37-0, again? That sounds like something The Sweater Vest would do if he was ever down by 37, which he never is.
