Well welcome to the rest of the B1G. That west division with games in the 12-14 point total range sure brought eyeballs to the conference. The west teams got a rude awakening this year.
We learned one thing today
- Thread starter Courtsensetwo
- Start date
What I learned from the game yesterday is . . . I'm Pavlov's dog; when IU got down 10-0 my IU football conditioning kicked in and I was getting anxious about the outcome of the game. This IU team does not panic, does not roll up the tent, and continues to play the most fundamentally sound football I've ever witnessed from an IU team. I certainly hope, much like our NW visitor's thinking in the post above, that OSU is thinking exactly like that poster and fully conditioned to handily defeating IU every season. Perhaps the team getting the eye opener will not be IU.
Great post and question! My best guess, other teams (and the networks that support them) feel entitled to that story every year. We have to fight for that narrative. Oregon is in the same league and number one. We got to beat OSU for that to happen is my thought. If we can do that, we will be the talk of the season heading into the B1G championship game against Oregon. Can't believe I'm writing this post. Go Hoosiers! Too cool!
My guess fwiw is we don’t drive TV ratings as much as the bigger programs. Talking heads cater to the big audiences.
We also have to win a few more games to solidify the story.
Watch the games... Best to go with eyeball test
First, I'm calling BS on your claim. You've been knob-slobbering all over the Buckeyes on here the last couple of days. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall seeing anything from you the week of Northwestern. I'm pretty sure you're a Buckeye troll.
Secondly, I'm not interested in wagering or having any other contact with you. I'm here to interact with other good Hoosier fans. As far as I'm concerned, you can wander back to Buckeye land and pound sand. Besides, I don't want to take your allowance for cutting the grass and feeding the dog. Move along and get your homework done so you don't get in trouble with the teacher tomorrow.
Go ask Cig if he thinks his team can’t beat Ohio State. The coaching mismatch between Cig and Ryan Day is as wide as the Pacific Ocean.
Why the hell is a lowly Northwestern fan trolling our board? There is a lot of jealousy in opposing fanbases for what Cig is doing. IU beat Michigan State on the road by 37 and could have won by 50. Oregon beat them by 21 at home.
Amazing stuff coach Cig is doing. I haven't had this much fun watching IU in anything since the Calbert Cheaney days.
We were a big story with CTA's 8-4 season and the Covid season. The talking heads might be a little gun shy.
Well, you can yak up O$U all you want, but I’m telling you that I am very excited to see how this IU team does against them in that game. Fun to be able to look forward to it in excited expectation!
The scuttlebutt going around in Columbus Ohio is they will buy out Coach Cig's contract (27M) & assistants & replace Ryan Day!
Yeah but they are going to have some competition from Southern Cal from what I hear.
