Did Cignetti's Words Fire Up OSU?

Yes, I am. I agree about Ohio Stadium. The suites and club seating are very nice though and they are adding a private lounge for members next year. The WiFi works great but the stadium itself is just that. I like it though. You can feel the history in it. People used to say the same thing about St. John arena and then they built the Schott and it now they complain that it’s too corporate and professional feel, not college. Remember, Ohio Stadium is over 100 years old. Remodeling the inside and bathrooms though would be a good idea though. There’s a few really good food options in the stadium. For instance near our seats yesterday they have a stand that makes very good burgers. You just have to look. I also like that they have beer and food vendors that come around too.

I sat with my brother and family. He has 4 season tickets and his father in law has 4 together in 26 A. He (my brother’s father in law) sold his Michigan tickets for $3400.
Their restrooms are as bad as I've seen. There was a noticeable sense of desperation at the stadium yesterday, especially in the first half, and OSU was over the top even by their standards. Ryan Day knew that he would be terminated if he lost yesterday and obviously couldn't control himself.

🚨🚨 It is time to invoke the 25th Amendment

President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in August of 2019. The INF Treaty - originally signed by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. in December of 1987 - required both parties to eliminate their ground-launched intermediate-range ballistic and cruise missiles (with intermediate being defined as 500 and 5,500 kilometers).

This is the context which allowed Russia to launch the missiles that hit Dnipropetrovsk in Central Ukraine earlier this week. The launch was essentially a successful test that took place in a live theatre. The missiles were not strictly speaking RS-26s as has been reported. According to Ukrainian intelligence the missiles are hybrid of newer developing technologies - namely the Kedr ICBM and the Yars-M. The introduction of these medium range missiles - which cannot be mitigated by any existing defense platform - acts as a non-nuclear deterrent, although they can be fitted with nuclear warheads.

The bad news is that the insane Russo-phobic Neocons who control the Pentagon and NATO will almost certainly continue to pursue actions that push us all even closer to a nuclear confrontation. Normalcy bias does not negate reality. This is where we are. The fact that the worst hasn't happened (and that we who are rational don't want it to happen) does not make this extremely dangerous situation spontaneously cease to exist.

Did Cignetti's Words Fire Up OSU?

Like you, I’m generally not big on coaches shooting off their mouths, but I don’t have an issue with it here. Cignetti has already explained that he made this (and other) bold statement early in his tenure in an attempt to fire up a downtrodden and indifferent fan base, and to generate interest in the program. It worked and, damn, with the exception of yesterday’s result, he’s been able to back up the brash talk.

OSU’s final series yesterday may have sent a message, but Cignetti’s comments last winter had nothing to do with yesterday’s special teams fvck-ups, falling behind, and State teeing off on a QB they knew was going to throw.

Beat Purdue!
I agree with the comment being made before the season started so it shouldn’t be cause to rile their fanbase. However, thanks to social media, it’s been replayed all season long as if it was said the night before the game. That said, we all had it instilled in our brains at a young age, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words…words are all I need to make me want to kick your ass!”

We are in.

Purdue’s worst team in their history at 1-10 vs IU’s best team in our history at 10-1…what could possibly go wrong? A snapped punt attempt through the fingers? A shanked punt to the wrong side of the field? An injured thumb to the throwing hand of our pass happy QB? An interception in the red zone? A fumble here or there? Tell me more why you think all we need to do is show up!

With losses by Colorado, Mississippi, Alabama and BYU, it looks like Indiana will still make the twelve team NCAA football playoffs unless they stumble badly against Purdue. But I hope that Coach Cignetti learned a valuable lesson. You never say that any opponent sucks and you especially don't do that if your opponent is OSU. I have never heard of better bulletin board material than that if you are OSU. The only good thing about yesterday is that OSU now considers IU a worthy opponent but Cignetti needs to eat some humble pie and just shut up.
Not nearly as much as the gift touchdown resulting from the careless mistakes by Evans and Bomba .

When the USA became a communist country

Will be wild if new cars are installed with ignition interlock. One of my best soccer buds had a felony dui and they installed an interlock. Played pro in Ireland for 3 years and became a drunk. I used to leave the field early and hide behind his car. Then when I’d see him get ready to blow I’d shake the fck out of his car!!! He’d have to wait an hour to try again 🤣
DBL GD RED CARD for you !!! Very bad, buddy voodoo on top of that!

Jerry Palm has us

I’ve lived in South Bend. If it’s 2,500 tickets, they’ll be taken by IU fans. There’s an awful lot of crimson up there. Sports bars and the like were always packed with cream and crimson during IU games.
But it’s the reversible jacket fans you’re seeing. They only care about the basketball program. They aren’t showing up for football. IU will have no issue selling out its small allotment of tickets for the game but don’t expect to see 10,000 IU fans inside of Notre Dane stadium just because SouthBend has IU people are in the area. I would bet many of those same fans are attending ND games in full ND gear during the year and then when basketball rolls around, out come the red jackets and dust off the mothballs.
