I mean on the bright side its still Indiana. Sucks but my kids will be my age before we have to hear about their football team again.

Hope we get unfucked and run into them again

Where would that UGA game be played.

First guess is we likely have to play AM in Texas then UGA in Georgia?

The Notre dame in the final at least lol

Depends on where we are given I'm guessing 3 which would be number 2 Georgia.

Seems like first round will be Ole Miss or Texas AM.

That’ll be easy picking IMO.

But what’s after that?

Same. I was pissed, but before they missed the FG I was thinking “Would I rather them experience a possible OT game, or go for the win and live with it?”. When you realize it’s about getting through the game healthy and seeing how the team responds, it’s tough to be that pissed. Day also seems different in this presser. He’s obviously upset but beating Michigan was the bigger goal and they’re moving on.

I think OSU learned a lot more about themselves and Indiana in this game than the other way around. They came out passing and put the game on Sayin right out of the gate, and Indiana had a great game plan, threw the kitchen sink at him, and he was rattled. They played a B+ game, OSU played a C game.

The playoffs will come down to what has Sayin learned from this game (a lot), and what can the OL do to improve and protect him (unsure). This sucked and there are questions to be answered, but I this team has a lot more in the tank on offense.

Yes, seemed like they were constantly blitzing our redshirt freshman QB, and Patricia almost never blitzed, if I'm not mistaken. I wonder if he just hates blitzing or if we'll see DB and LB blitzes left and right in the playoffs, or maybe just the championship game if they make it that far. Buckeyes still got at least 5 sacks, but all in the first half I believe.

Their redshirt junior QB unsurprisingly seemed better and more confident at throwing into tight coverage than our RS freshman QB. Or maybe IU's zone was that much better.

He’s going to claim he’s unsure why I’m peeved.

Well that’s why.

What’s our likely path anyone know?

It doesn't matter what he claims dude. You can't win every argument. Being right or wrong is irrelevant sometimes. It's not worth it to keep going just agree the spat is over and mods will handle it if it starts up again. You both pissed each other off. His comment was uncalled for yes your response was not the best. It's fine shit happens in the heat of the moment but you need to be able to let things go and let bye gones be bye gones.

ND has an exponentially bigger draw and fan base than Miami.

Thats the point.

And that fan base is in the Northeast corridor, from Philly to Boston. TV loves that market.

Great game. I'm excited for Indiana. Thought we played well, especially on defense, but have some clear spots for improvement entering the playoffs. Maybe this will keep the team hungry for more.

We left some points on the board. But I'm particularly bummed that, yet again, kicking is a major reason we lost. I miss the good ol' days of good special teams.

Also: holy hell the non-calls on holding were blatant. Not sure it changes the out one of the game, but alas.

We got our share of calls too IMO. They were without one of their best players all game and we almost knocked their #1 player out the first play.

No excuses we just lost. We should’ve won and we fucked it up to be honest but credit to Indiana.

It’s weird it’s Indiana. It really is..

Also, quite the fucking scene. That was wild inside the dome. That meant the world to Hoosiers and they showed up.

Shocked about a lot right now. But I’m also not. I figured IU had a great shot to show up (I’m also an IU alum). Disappointed the Buckeye offense (Day’s side) struggled again in a big moment.

But we move on, this could be the start of the championship DVD, etc. etc.

Weird to feel this way after a loss. My heart still says this sucks but my brain says “whatever”. Bucks won’t be undefeated 16-0 but still have every chance to be great this year.

1. How much could Cignetti get from LSU?
2. pattern: run on first down and gain 4 to 7 yards. Then run again on second and give back 2 to 4 yards. Last week and this week.
3. Where the fuck is keinholz on 4th and 1? Last week and this week?
4. Army buddy is an IU grad. He was sports editor for the IU paper in 1967 and got to cover the Rose Bowl. Late in the 4 th quarter, Hoosiers down by 14, USC fans unfurled a banner : CINDERELLA JUST GOT FUCKED. Cinderella did not get fucked tonight.
