Anyone else find it funny that the OSU and UM guy on the GameDay panel

[Harry Hondo]

this morning picked Washington to win today? You think those two blue blood football alums are a bit miffed that IU is doing this and their pick was more based on jealousy rather than sound logic? Having a great coach and the portal levels the playing field and the traditional powers don’t like that. 😂

Too bad & too late. We're good.

Both picked IND over NEB last week, so I’m not willing to go there. (Saban picked NEB, but picked IND today.)

The reasons to pick WASH were OK—WASH’s D is good and their skill position players are fine (the OL is a problem). IND persevered. And that’s OK.

At first it bothered me, but maybe it says more about how good Washington is, which makes today’s win all the better.

I did notice that. I told a friend that I believe it’s because they both played against Indiana and are still having a hard time believing that IU is this good!

I’m just glad Gameday’s presence didn’t jinx IU—iirc when they went to James Madison a year ago it was JMU’s first loss?

They're not Hoosiers. It's understandable if they don't 'get' football.

Ohio State fans already chirping but we have backup…

IU: A BASKETBALL SCHOOL WITH A FOOTBALL PROBLEM.

Again, if that were the case, they would’ve picked NEB over IND last week.

That's it exactly. They know IU better than most. Hard to get past our history.
