A Few Things We Learned From Big Ten Media Day

On Wednesday afternoon head coach Kevin Wilson took the podium in Chicago at the Big Ten Media Day.  Wilson talked about many of the unanswered questions surrounding the Hoosier program heading into fall camp.  While the coach did not elaborate or even give a hint on the starting quarterback situation or who is going to start at running back, he did shed some light on the expectations for the 2013 team.  As we all know most of the answers given at media day are in coach speak, we decided to help you out and translate them into English.

Throwback Thursday: 2012 Week Four: Northwestern

Welcome back to our 2012 throwback series.  This is the fourth installment of our look back at the 2012 Indiana Hoosier football season.  Today we are reviewing the Hoosiers Big Ten ten opener on the road against Northwestern.  This game was the tale of two halves, which would come to be a common theme throughout the 2012 conference slate for Indiana.  The Hoosiers had no answer for the Wildcats' do-everything star, Kain Colter.  The offensive star propelled Northwestern to a 44-29 victory, handing the Hoosiers a loss in their conference opener while dropping them to 2-2 on the year.

Hoosiers In The Polls

Hoosiers In The Polls

With the media converging on Chicago this week the writers decided it was a good time to vote and announce their opinions on the upcoming Big Ten season.  While there are always biases and agendas amongst media members, the fact remains that they cover these teams daily, have access that most can only dream of, and for the most part attempt to hide those prejudices as much as possible.

While preseason polls and voting does not actually mean a thing, that does not stop our eyes from glancing to see where are team was ranked, or our coach was selected.  There is something about rankings that interests us, even if we say we don’t want to be.  It’s a human condition, and heck, its plain fun to see your schools name above their rivals. 

The Big Ten media had some good news for the Hoosiers as well as some “bad news”.  I believe that the bad news should really be tempered if you take a step back and look at it, which we will do in just a moment.  But first the good stuff!

The season is creeping ever closer with the latest sign of such being Big Ten Media Day tomorrow.  At eleven in the morning festivities will kick off in Chicago as each of the conferences head coaches will preside over a fifteen minute Q&A with the media.

For you Indiana fans, the schedule couldn't have worked out any better as Kevin Wilson is scheduled to speak at 12:15 PM ET, just in time for your "lunch break".  While many questions will be lobbed at the Hoosier head man, many of them are comical or scrape the surface when it comes to actual football information, as college media days have become more Super Bowl Media Day, and less press conference.

So we decided to throw out 5 questions that surround the Hoosier football team that we would like to hear Coach Wilson's take on before camp opens.
