not a fan of Oregon and Miami. Usually love the underdog-type stories. I just don’t know that I can handle a team like Indiana winning a National Title while we remain incompetent.

QB lost the game for the ducks. Don't know what they paid for him, but it was too much.

You gotta love Cignetti.

Did you hear what he said to the reporter before their regular season.game in Oregon? She was asking him about his team's chances since Indiana has a terrible record against Oregon and had NEVER won in Oregon.

Without hesitation, without blinking, without pausing, without talking about culture change or any other hog-varnish... He said, "This team has never played here." And walked away.

...and his team played like it.

Yep. Great quote.

I also loved it in a presser this week when a reporter told him one of his players said he's never happy. He pushed back and said he is happy sometimes, just that the middle of a game is not the time to be high fiving and celebrating on the sidelines. Said he's happy in the coach's room after the game is over.

Coaches have different personalities. Dabo won 2 titles being goofy happy on the sidelines. I like the all business approach.

When the gods are smiling on you, they're smiling on you. Dodged a bullet there.

We're gonna have a CFP semifinal with the backups in in the 3rd quarter.

No point in risking injury to Mendoza or any starters. This one is over.

Massive IU crowd there tonight. To give an idea how popular IU football is, high school basketball teams in Indiana rescheduled Friday night games to last night so it wouldn't conflict with this game. HS basketball in Indiana is like high school football in Texas...only much, much, much more serious.

Welp, of to la la land here. As thorough and complete of a victory as you'll see.

Just muscled up and ran the ball the entire way down the field for another touchdown. Mind-boggling.
