I would enjoy if every Wednesday he would come out with the statement that "Purdue sucks". Oh yeah!

Didn't he mention God in his rant?
Leadership can never be underestimated
As an aside, the F word is becoming so common now, I don't think people even realize they're using it.Leadership can never be underestimated
It used to be used for shock value or for those with limited vocabulary. Now, it's just a speech 'crutch', like 'man'. I saw an interview with Danica Patrick (I think) recently and she used 'man' frequently.
For Rising Sophmores and Jrs, they have tasted success in FB and they feel it more than BB
Fanduel released its win totals for regular season & Indiana is at 8.5
I know a particular coach on the hardwood that uses “man” a lot.

Dammit.
I was really hoping for 6.5, but I was sure we'd be no higher than 7.5, so this is a bummer. I'll still bet it, but just not as heavily now, for the reasons I explained earlier in this thread. Fan Duel is saying they see 8 wins guaranteed for IU, and they see 2 losses guaranteed (OU& PSU). That puts us at with having to win at least one of the Illannoy or @ Iowa games to win the over. I still like our odds to do that and I say we get to at least 9 wins next season. Beat both Illannoy and Iowa and we are back in the CFP.Not sure I agree about the CFP if we don’t beat either Oregon or PSUDammit.
Here is the list of the teams they have released so far.Dammit.

Not bad company to be in....
That is some pretty heady company after just year one of Cig. I’m still thinking I’m dreaming. It sure makes this basketball nightmare easier to tolerate.
When I see an interview from a beautiful announcer with a male player and he says "man" I have to question the player's eyesight!
Baby steps. Another successful year and we'll start getting respect.
How Louisville and Tennesse get such love, I have no idea. Miami, too.
I think UNC has potential to be the worst coaching hire since Archie Miller.
If we go 10-2, and our only 2 losses are on the road to top 10 teams, we most certainly will be in the CFP unless we get blown out or a ton of teams go 12-0 & 11-1. 9-3 will put you with the bubble teams in the current format. If you are from the B10 or SEC and finish 10-2, with both losses on the road to top 10 teams, will get you into the CFP 90% of the time.
Well, I hope we find out but two years in a row of ‘every time you play someone good, you lose’ narrative will be strong. Granted, we will have beaten Illinois in that scenario, but it will be mostly a distant memory by Dec 5th or whenever.
The Football Media turned on us at the end of last season when it became clear their SEC (money making) Ox was about to be gored by our supplanting one of them in the CFP final 12...
Just based on that attitude...; I think we'll have to at least win one of those Oregon or Penn $t games at their place(s) to be a lock to get in this time around...
The media (and a lot of other schools fans) won't be rooting for us to be the spunky underdog this season... They want to see the upstart put back in their place...

11-1 barely got us in this year. I doubt 10-2 would get us in next year, but it depends who we beat.
11-1 barely got us in, but we're starting the year ranked, so we won't have as high of a climb as we did last year.
Unfortunate that that's how it generally works, but here we are.
Exactly. Plus, when you are ranked and lose to a top 10 team on the road, you only drop a few spots in the rankings as long as you don't get embarrassed. 10-2 with wins over Illannoy, WI, MSU, UCLA, @ Iowa, @Maryland, and @Purdue, and only 2 road losses to top 10 teams, after starting out ranked will put us squarely in the discussion. The B10 and SEC teams will always get the nod over an ACC or B12 or G5 team. I don't think we are close to being in a position to expect to get the nod over an SEC team with the same record yet. We have to beat some top 10 teams to get to that point. We have 2 chances nest season to do just that against Oregon and PSU. If we win one of those games and lose to Iowa on the road for example, I think we'd be a near lock to get in at 10-2.
With this new 12 team format, 10-2 will get you in 90% of the time if you are from the B10 or SEC. Probably 100% for the SEC. 9-3 will be the bubble going forward.
Yes, that's what I said above. If we beat an Oregon or PSU and finish 10-2, we can get in.
Lose to both and finish 10-2? You honestly think they'd pick us over a 10-2 ACC Miami team?
