I think the entire neighborhood heard me on this play, absolutely ridiculous that not one official threw a flag.

I don't know if I'm more mad or less mad after a few days.You can't even say oh well we just played a random bad game b/c what happened was the things we do poorly cost us the game
Look at it this way; every team does something poorly or at least less well than they do other things.
There is always a non zero chance that you have a game where those things get exploited/cost you a win.
It's impossible to avoid if you play enough games.

The more time that elapses between Saturday night and now, the more I view it was a necessary setback.
Would they be their absolute best if they squeaked out a 16-13 win? Maybe, but sometimes playing bad and winning can be worse than playing bad, losing and learning.
This coaching staff has shown that it has the steadfastness to drive home lessons even in victory, so maybe it wasn't as necessary as, say, 2024 TCUN was, BUT that was the players and the coaches both realizing things needed to change. Sometimes that takes a setback to get both sides to come together.
I still think they'll be ok going forward. It took everything Indiana had to beat them by 3 in literally their worst performance of the year.

Agree. IU had no answers for Smith and Tate. If they were utilized in the red zone instead of the ground and pound they tried, it would have been a win.
Day adapts and will do so in the playoffs.

A wise man once said nothing cleanses your soul like getting your ass kicked.
It was a 3 point ass kicking.
Their souls are cleansed. They are now ready to move on.

And that was going against the ACC game, too. The SEC game, the "best game ever in the best league ever" went up against absolutely nothing.
