Ironic ironies at IU

An unfortunate situation that's just dripping with irony at Indiana:

Greenspan said high winds this week drove a "phenomenal amount of rain under the carpet" and created a 10-inch deep sinkhole from the middle of the field inside the south end zone to the fence separating the field from fans.

"When it got down to (the south end), part of the turf just collapsed like one of those landslides you see in California where the foundation just goes out from under it," he said.

IU football coach Bill Lynch said there was a lot of water on the field when the staff arrived Thursday morning. When it drained, there were sinkholes and lumpy sections of carpet.

And I thought the bottom falling out on IU and sinkholes in the Hoosiers endzone were just metaphors.
