that were walking around?

The Citrus Bowl lady was kinda like "well, there's four B10 teams vying for the playoff, and since only three will probably make it, we have the first pick, and are checking things out here."

We were all kinda like "no offense, but we're not really interested in the Citrus Bowl right now....sorry." 😄

About 5 mins later the Orange Bowl guys come walking by. I call them over to the tailgate, tell them the Citrus Bowl guys were just there, and they were like "nah, you guys don't want to play in that trash Bowl, you need to come to us". 😄

We were all like..."yeah, we agree." 👍

Particularly when it comes the offensive line play.

That was the first time they've gone up against a line comparable to what the Buckeyes can offer, and they got absolutely mauled for about 2 1/2 full quarters of football. And, frankly, their poor play did seem like it started to get to Rourke. Sarratt let him down a couple times, but he was also fairly erratic for most of the last 40 minutes or so. The complete miss on the wide-open swing pass to Ellison (on the play where we got called for holding, but still) with no pressure and no one near him, in particular, raised a few red flags.

One of 4 unbeaten teams with Miami loss

Offensive efficiency took a hit with the MI game 2nd half, but defense rose.

Strength of record rose to 6 with the win (and IA loss?)

After watching IU football pull out another win I keep thinking about our basketball program and reality. The reality is the ceiling for IU basketball is the sweet 16. We are not going to win a league championship with Woodson. We have seen player after player at the guard position that is a high level recruit choose to go elsewhere. There is a reason for that and it’s not from a lack of cash. I realize it’s only November and I am dumping on the program after only 1 game played this season. BUT……we have seen all we need to see out of Woodson. I respect him and appreciate him leading our program his way. But if Cig proves anything, it shows having the right guy leading the team can take a program far. Save this post for the end of the season and hopefully I am dead wrong and get roasted. But I highly doubt it.

Not sure what was going on with Surratt, but his two drops in the 4th quarter were very uncharacteristic. He catches those and likely IU wins by 9 to 17 points. Get some fresh stick’m please!

The Canes lost, notable CFP attrition. I think Miami is fine in terms of making the show but will affect positioning.

A hit on a defenseless receiver

On kickoff return. IU defense needs to switch to tear-away jerseys.

One could say the whole second half. But the 4th Q was particularly bad on offense. Weird, because I felt like we could have had 24 in the 1st half if one or two plays go our way.

For those who might know the game better, or who have rewatched (I had to watch on my phone), was Michigan doing anything differently? Pressing our WRs more? Blitzing more often? Or was it just fatigue and talent showing through?

Don’t apologize for close wins, everyone has them. At the end of the day, your defense stepped up and made the plays when it had to.

Michigan is a mess offensively but the defense is still very good and the DL is as good as you will see in the country especially up the middle.

Good luck in Columbus, and enjoy the year!

Do we have a case to appeal?
Sure hate to lose him for the first half of the Ohio State game.

…are all about survival.

This was one of those.

10-0, boys!!! Hell yes!!!

I still think we’ll win…but we’re definitely under stress at a couple positions.

At the game,they saying anything about their injuries?
Sure hope they are not concussions.

Game Day Essentials

IU just announced Drew Evans is out for the year. Our OL has been so good. I hope it’s next man up and we’ll be ok but that’s a big position to lose someone.

How many of you have watched them any? I watched the PSU game last week waiting for our game and wasn't all that impressed. I'm watching them manage the Toiletmakers right now and still not impressed. I would compare them to us when we played FIU (at best). For all the talent they have, they're just going through the motions and look unmotivated. Even if they get up for us in a couple weeks, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in Columbus.

Also, Ryan Day looks like the Temu version of Dave Bautista 🤣

Anyone know?

What time do the grass lots south of the stadium fill up?

It looks like there is parking at Genesis Church to the north - what time does that fill up?

Does the Catholic Center East of the stadium still have paid parking?

That has to help our strength of schedule a little bit. They may end up making a bowl.

"For two years, I've been saying that Ukraine has zero chance of winning the US proxy war against Russia. The MSM has dutifully propagandized the American public into believing Zelensky was winning and anamethnatizing those of us who challenged the narrative.
Now the MSM is admitting the war is lost. If they had been truthful from the outset, the reality would have steered Ukraine toward the peaceful generous settlement that Russia repeatedly vouchsafed, and 600,000 Ukrainian kids might have grown white hair".
