Not only do I think Indiana would beat Georgia, I don’t think it would be particularly close either.
You always wonder if they can keep it up but they do. They are impressive for sure.

You see, that’s when fans think the zebras are on the take. A blatant face mask literally in front of the ref and no call.

I really don't understand Cig detractors - citing his "demeanor" (which I think is fine), etc. Who cares? He's not a politician. He's a football coach - and at this point in time, the best football coach.

PSU had "demeanor" for 12 years and it got us not so much.
I’d take him in a second. Yeah he talks more **** than I prefer but dude backs it up. He’s got more moral character than guys like urban.
i can’t help but think of this when i see him scowl though

Indiana is definetly the team to beat. No doubt about it. They are the most talented team and the most disciplined. It would take an "off" game for them for someone to beat them who would have to be playing their "A" game with IU playing their "C" game. I was at the game today and Indiana physically dominated Bama who is a very good team, top 10.

We should have beat them if not for a miracle catch and Amare Campbell not being able to corral a tipped ball for an interception. They are a very good team, but the key to beat them is to pound the Mendoza. We were doing that. Our offensive play calls our last possession ultimately doomed us. A team like Miami as well as Oregon, with elite DL may get the job done.

The IU win was one of the most impressive wins I’ve ever seen. A total beat down of a quality opponent. You can critique Alabama’s issues all you want and the 4th down call was terrible (like a cowardly coach afraid of getting criticized - sound familiar) but that only takes away from what IU did. To me, they look like Wisconsin back in the Alvarez glory days, but with a quality QB. Of they can do it, why can’t Penn State? When you blend the right culture with talent, you get results. Again, not that hard. And no quitters.

I’m all for Indiana and Oregon moving on in the playoffs. Better for the Conference = better for PSU in my opinion.
OSU’s loss to ACC team = 🤮. Embarrassing!!

Last time I personally saw Bama getting beat like that was in 1986 by us.

Interesting omission from my quote. Says a lot about your lack of ethics, integrity and intelligence. And proves my point. Thanks loser.
You said "IT'S NOT THAT HARD".

It's INCREDIBLY HARD to win a conference championship much less a national championship. That's why very few teams win titles. Top teams like USC, Texas, and ND haven't won A NC in the past 20 years. I think PSU got cheated in 1994 but they haven't won a NC in the 30 years that followed.

It's also INCREDIBLY HARD for most teams to attract and retain top talent. This is more true than ever in the revenue sharing / NIL era. Do you think a school like Purdue could afford to keep Drew Brees for 4 years in today's environment? Could Wyoming keep Josh Allen?


Of course you're never wrong Lando.

Not really. It seems like the entire P4 should be ashamed of itself for letting this happen. Indiana was the worst. Nobody at all could stop this? It's a great accomplishment by Indiana, but it seems like such a failure by everybody else.

Other than that, somehow the whole thing reminds me of the 6-6-6 PA Lottery story and somewhere behind all this must be one of the biggest cheats in history. No proof of it or anything, but this seems like the shadiest thing I've ever seen in this sport.

I watch very little prollegiate football anymore. I didn't see the Indiana game yesterday. Nonetheless, I was happy this morning for their players, students, and alums. Even though the Hoosiers have been undeniably good the last two years, it still has the feel of a Davey and Goliath story. I hope they figure out how to take the whole thing.
Absolutely, doormat of the College Football world, definitely like to see them win compared to whats left out there.

Of course they have to be cheating. Any program that is successful must be cheating unless it is PSU. Everybody cheats except us. We are ... the only program that does things the right way.

It just isn't fair.

Discipline, outstanding coaching, great preparation, and 11 guys all playing with a purpose on every snap.
(And no clown shows on the field or sidelines after every play)

While they, unfortunately, have to live in the same cesspool of college sports as everyone else right now - it is hard to imagine anyone who has an affection for sports not completely enjoying what that team has been doing.

I have watched very little prolegiate football since early October. I delighted in watching Indiana trounce Alabama yesterday. I had to make an exception.

It probably is fair enough. They all cheat some. Indiana's just doing it the best, and the rest of us are jealous as hell and want to know their secret. The real secret is how are they going to keep somebody richer from buying their secret? Is Indiana really the richest?

I’m happy for Indiana.
I’m happy for any team that beats the Ohowihate suckeyes from columbASS

Seriously, what they’ve done in 2 years is very impressive.
Anytime those cheating Michiganders or OSU Lose and Notrelame gets shutout of the Playoffs it's a wonderful thing.

I'd be happier for Ole Miss, mainly because they really will likely fall off now with Kiffin gone. Indiana could do whatever they're doing for a long time, and now the rest of the college football world doesn't have Michigan willing to steal some signs to figure it out.

Yes, it is.
A super couple days of bowl games to see scUM, Ohowihate, low Tide lose and not hearing about Notre Lame in the bowls. All part of the Christmas Cheer!!

Cignetti's old man had beef with Joe so no I do not want him to be successful at IU. Campbell already has a tough enough job beating OSU, UM, Oregon, USC and now IU

Why would you be happy for their University, Alumnus and students - their team is a bunch of mercenaries that have zippidy doo dah day to do with any of those things??? BTW, Indiana only beath PSU with the help of the corrupt officiating in this dump of a corrupt league - anyone who watched knows that Indiana got away with tackling our DL on their final drive - no flags despite the fact this is the only reason they were able to throw the ball down the field from the shadow of their goal line. First long pass was just ridiculous - multiple PSU rushers were literally tackled, several from behind on the pass. Of course, no flags.
Shizholes all of them
