Agreed. Indiana?? For crying out loud they have sucked forever and in year one their coach had them humming due to great transfer portal additions and now in year two they are doing the same. Rhule’s preacher boy snake oil salesman act is wearing thin. I can’t stand to listen to him anymore. His post game presser yesterday was like fingernails on a chalk board. “We just needed to make some plays” … “It isn’t scheme or conditioning, we just didn’t make some plays when it mattered”. Blah blah blah. Well duh. Hey coach, you need great players to make great plays. Notice Michigan’s athleticism on defense? Their open field tackling was fierce. We constantly whiffed. Why? Because our players aren’t as good that’s why.Like myself any others have said, there is zero excuse for "rebuilding" and all this garbage.
You have thousands of transfers each year. Go get guys that you need.
Could we also please stop hearing about how Rex Guthrie is an NFL player???
That can include coaches too.
They are just killing teams.Heck Indiana looks like #1, they destroyed the #9 team. I'm not sure anyone else would do that to Illinois
That coach turned around a soft team faster than any in history. He’s cocky and his team plays with aggression that reflects Cig. Our team reflects the softball questions lobbed at our pacifist coach during a presserThey are just killing teams.
Rushing for 300 yards a game. Putting up huge numbers, it never seems like they get sacked. They constantly put pressure on the other team.

I totally agree but the point is that Indiana was pretty much the worst P5 school in history...in two years Cig is what, 15-2? Something like that.Illinois was not even close to being a top 10 team.
Yep. Tried to watch #21 yesterday. Was he trying too hard? Maybe. Young still, but he was not ready for the speed of the game vs UM.Like myself any others have said, there is zero excuse for "rebuilding" and all this garbage.

This weird push of "NFL scouts were asking me about him",Yep. Tried to watch #21 yesterday. Was he trying too hard? Maybe. Young still, but he was not ready for the speed of the game vs UM.
After losing to yet another unranked team and seeing Indiana crush a top ten team, I started to wonder why Rhule doesn’t get more heat for his pathetic record against ranked teams. Everyone just wants to praise him for previous rebuilding efforts even though he could never beat anyone good back then as well.Agreed. Indiana??

He is just a continuation of Scott Frost but with better PR skills. I can’t take him seriously anymore until he starts backing up what he preaches with real wins not moral ones.
Here we are in the epic year 3 of Matt Rhule pixie dust magic and we still can’t field a team that can beat any top 25 opponent.After losing to yet another unranked team and seeing Indiana crush a top ten team, I started to wonder why Rhule doesn’t get more heat for his pathetic record against ranked teams.

That may be true, but they are a petty legit top 25 team and I don't think many can beat top 25 teams by 50+Illinois was not even close to being a top 10 team.

I would like to see Indiana vs Miami for the national championship.at least as of this post
they've been really impressive
IN looks better.at least as of this post
they've been really impressive
Who knew in August when NU v Cincy was being played, we were watching a couple of 7-6 titans that would both implode coming down the stretch.Bump

They couldn't even make the ACC championship. They allowed Virginia and Duke to take their spotBump
Ohio State didn't make the Big 10 Championship game last year. How'd that work out for them?They couldn't even make the ACC championship. They allowed Virginia and Duke to take their spot![]()
No, basically a cake walk for Indiana the rest of the way. I’ll be surprised if they win any of these games by fewer than 10 points. I can’t believe I’m writing this.at least as of this post
