Just breaks my heart that we missed a 29yd field goal to tie it against Indiana late in the 4th. Just another wasted year.

Not trying to take anything away from the historic year Indiana had. Congrats to them.

USA Today has an article titled, "How Indiana Saved College Football...". I disagree - I think the whiplash from IU's explosion is exemplary of all that is ruining the sport. Of course, I'm a relic from the Griffin and Spielman eras. Maybe Gen Alpha sees is differently. (They also seemed to get significant officiating help in the ccg. Don't call them for holding; we need them to save college football by beating the yesterday's news Buckeyes en route to a storybook 16-0 season.)

I remember Bama, UGA, Clemson, OSU, Okla, most years in the playoffs was getting old, but this inorganic wild west anarchical chaos is not necessarily doing it for me.

Mine increased 60%.

Move to South Carolina. We have some of the cheapest property taxes for owner occupied houses. They make it back on commercial properties. My home and and a business property I own have similar tax valuations (1.5M). My annual tax for my home was 5,600.00 . The business tax hit is 61,000.00 plus.

I didn’t watch the game last night and won’t watch any more football until next August (possibly our spring game), but I watched the clip of Mendoza’s run to win it. THAT was a baller play. THAT’s what I want from a QB. THAT’s what Krenzel, Howard, and Jones had inside them. We’ve got to find that in Sayin.

Re: Indiana up by 3 points, 4th and 4 at the 12, and with 9:18 left in the 4th quarter.

Just sayin': Gutsy call to go for it on 4th down too. That had to be the "Play Of The Game".

The strength coach isn't why hicks, beau, and others were not playing.

It was last year that they were on fire late in the year. Because they had great talent and veterans who had been through a lot of wars.

Maybe they need a new coach, maybe not, but mick would suddenly coach a lot better if you gave him a senior Arvell, Caleb, mcdonald, etc to work with. And his 2026 secondary might look better with the vets they added compared to if they only reloaded using faheem, haddad and Scott.

sorry I wasn't implying that guys weren't playing because S&C coach... I wasn't even implying that they weren't rotating because of that ... I was implying that maybe we need a refresh on the S&C side because its stale ...

Yeah if he hits a few more seams this year we win it all. If I'm his qb coach I'm drilling the middle of the field with him all offseason

Yeah it has much more to do with his middle field blind spot than the offense being opened up.

Controversial? Did the play clock hit 0 or something?

The Big Ten announced Tuesday that it will unveil its full football schedule on Jan. 27, but the Big Ten Football X account revealed one marquee matchup in the meantime: Indiana vs. Ohio State at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

The way someone would date a non-porn star?

I suppose that there's some recency bias at work, but doesn't the 2025-26 Indiana team have to be in the discussion for best ever? A 16-0 record with "playoff" wins against powerhouse programs Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami, not to mention the Heisman Trophy winner.

Greatest team debate could be based on talent of the players on it vs body of work.

Sometimes there is overlap but in this case it may not.

But first and only 16-0 with the championship game and playoff run they had is definitely worthy of being in the discussion.

really? Indy went undefeated, barely rotated players, and didn't seem to have many injuries.... unlike us that seem to wear down due to lack of rotation.... Micks been here forever... sometimes things need to change to freshen things up

Can’t disagree with you on the lack of rotation. This is certainly something we’ve seen with Day over his tenure.

yes, the average age of the young men he is training certainly was a factor. 23-25 yr olds vs 18-21 yr olds is a definite advantage

Do we just rename this the BigTen Championship. Not a question.
