Surprise Classic UNLV twice, Oregon State & Xavier once each.

We have Sisley. If Woodson didn't have the portal to get players for some reason, like a lawsuit, where would IU be?

fumble and pick in red zone. could get lucy to do that for about 12 dollars a hour

We were just cheated out of almost $300 by SeatGeek. We attempted to order 2 tickets for the Nebraska game and got a message on our order that they were sorry those tickets were no longer available with a link to go back to the same section and choose 2 other seats which we did. When we checked our SeatGeek account they had charged us for all 4 tickets. After doing an online chat with their customer service rep we were basically told there was no evidence what we were saying is true and tough luck. We put 2 of the tickets back for resale but there’s no guarantee they’ll sell and we’ll be out all the fees. Lesson learned: Do NOT trust SeatGeek.

They talk the big talk about how aggressive they are. Then when the game is on the line they pucker up tighter than a virgin on prom night. Case in point, Cincinnati is on the outer edge of FG range in a tie game in OT. Instead of using your hot QB and hot WR to make the FG more manageable, you run 3 dives into the line and get nothing. Settle for a 52 yd FG and miss. 3 plays later, of course, you lose. wtf

It’s kind of fun to see what other teams are saying about us. Lots and lots of comments and compliments about our offense, in particular and also to our fans. Several of them think Ohio State is the only team who will beat us. Such a different feeling to be reading all the positives and they are t talking about Buckeyes or MIchigan. . .

Any insiders this week want to enlighten those of us who are in the dark on recruiting…ie, where the coaches will be this week? Who they are courting? Any potential flips to be had, etc?
Time to strike while the iron is red hot.

Darpa black programs which succeeded HAARP could actually create extreme weather conditions, to include massive tropical storms?

...the highest quality lithium deposits in the world are located just outside Asheville North Carolina?

...the largest lithium company in the world, three days before the flood began, submitted permits for a mine just outside Asheville North Carolina?

...the mining company were given $250 million in grants to help construct a mine just outside Asheville North Carolina?

...less than a month before the flood started, BlackRock acquired 2.2 million shares in the mining company?

...the residents just outside Ashville North Carolina, who opposed the mining project had their homes, businesses and lives destroyed?

Wouldn't that be crazy?....

We hit the jackpot with coach CIG. Much like that young coach from army 50 years ago.

Scheduling and success. Those teams that have IU’s past Big East schedule aren’t liking their fortunes this year. You get in a hole fast, negativity starts to set in, it is like a domino effect. Very hard cycle to break.

Vs getting a few wins and your confidence grows and you believe you can win.

Lots to like so far this year.

Any word on Walker. Didn’t notice him playing late?

4th in NCAA and leads all Big Ten QBs in passing efficiency.

This is big time, 6-0 and on the rise! Indiana needs to lock Cignetti up with a substantial renegotiation.

I would like to see them pony up more $$$ for the assistants, too. With the ludicrous Big Ten TV deal, the money is absolutely in the room. Keeping this staff together for next year is key. If they get JuJu Lewis in here, look out!!!

Ju Ju Lewis could not have been impressed with USC's performance in their loss to Minnesota. If you have a subscription to the Athletic, a story focused on USC's talent problems is linked below. If not, I can't copy and paste any snippets but a significant portion of the article highlights their deficiencies on the Offensive Line.

USC Isn't Built to Contend in the Big Ten

Since we are now officially bowl eligible, let’s talk bowl projections. We can update this weekly.

I don’t subscribe to ESPN and they have their bowl projections hidden behind a paywall, so if someone does, please feel free to add those.

AFTER WEEK 6

Two ESPN writers, Bill Connelly and Harry Lyles Jr, have IU as the 8 seed in their playoff brackets. Both have IU hosting Alabama in a first round CFP game.

FPI went up 2 to rank 14.

Tie game with 8 mins to go…. UM may lose again

Vs Nebby
Vs Washington
@ MSU

Then Michigan.

Could be a battle of Top 10 teams.

Not only are the Hoosiers 6-0, but both Army and Navy are sitting at 5-0. Might be the year of the good guys. And FWIW, looks like Kevin Wilson still can't figure out how to stop a triple-option offense.

Vandy is 2-2 on the season.

I was skeptical of the level of competition CCC had competed against. I had no idea about the skill level of the individual players that some of you were so positive about. I was awfully impressed by this team’s performance against Northwestern today. I now understand why McCulley transferred out. Both lines are getting the job done.. I haven’t been this positive about the Hoosier team since the late 1980s. I wasn’t negative about this squad. I just didn’t want to get caught up in all the hype. The most important game of the season is the next game. Beat Nebraska!

With regard to CCC’s comment about googling his successes, as Dandy Don Meredith said if you back it up it ain’t braggin. And, obviously he has a great coaching staff.
