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

The first team to become Bowl eligible this season is... (drumroll) Your Indiana Hoosiers...

They split the two games. Two transfer players were noted for their performance in the exhibition in Louisville transfer Korbyn Dickerson and Southern Indiana transfer Gavin Seebold. The article includes box scores for both "games."

I tossed this out on the premie. I'm wondering why we're suddenly in on this kid. Do we know Mullins is out and this is our pivot?

Seems weird to suddenly be in on this kid, since he says he wants to commit during early signing period and we haven't even offered him at this point.

No judgment zone here, fellas. You be you.

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

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

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.

For UNC. Gawd I hope it isn’t for Mullins!

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

Through six games, Indiana’s overall PFF grade is No. 3 in the nation, behind only Ohio State and Miami (Fla.). Their overall offense is second, and their overall defense is 14th.

Must be excellent coaching.

Hopefully he can be back by the Nebraska game!

Nothing.

I look forward to the reckoning.

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.

Yep - just led Michigan for a TD

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.

this lays it out!

Rourke now becomes the first Hoosier to earn multiple Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week awards since 2020, when Ty Fryfogle did so in back-to-back weeks. He's also the first Indiana quarterback to earn multiple Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors since Nate Sudfeld did so twice during the 2015 season.

Heading into Indiana's bye week, Rourke currently leads the Big Ten in passing yards (1,752), passing touchdowns (14), yards per attempt (10.9) and passer rating (192.1).

IU to cover, the over, and Rourke for over 250 yards passing. Nebraska won't stop this from happening for a 6th straight game, and you have 2 weeks to figure out how to bet online and share in this parlay with me. I was feeling lucky on Sat and put together this 7 legger: IU to cover, the over, Lawton and Ellison each for 25 yards rushing, Sarratt for 40 yards receiving, and IU to score over 27.5. Vegas hasn't figured IU out yet and these player yardage bets added to my parlays have been easy $$. Pulled out $1000 in winnings Sunday. Anybody else been winning $$ on our Hoosiers? Any bets anyone have been using that have been hitting regularly?

I find this phenomenon bizarre. It's now going on at my school. A neighbor was invited to a mixer that turned out to be a fundraising networking event. These people are looking for people to donate between $100k-$500k. To my kid's public high school. They said it's a more "progressive" way to fund the school's $250 million renovation that was voted on and somehow they want private funding to cover part of the cost.

Here's an earlier example:


The same guy told me that some billionaire graduate from this high school offered to pay the whole $250 million if they'd name the school after him. And our board flatly declined. WTF???
