I’m glad he faked that injury so he could come play for us.

I must admit, when PSU surged in the second half, it was a good time to not be able to read the board. :)

The catch was incredible but how did Fernando make the throw? And yes, btb was down for reasons that are above my pay grade. I blame it on @Hovadipo but he's passed 3 separate lie detector tests absolving him of blame.

Was this site down during the game? I was at the game, and with 100,000 people in attendance there was no cell service and no checking BTB during the game. Let me tell you all that that was a great win despite Penn State being 3-6.They still have top 15 talent playing for them and when they click they can compete with most teams. It’s incredible how much they have tripped up late in games this year, because they could easily also be 8-1 with a loss still to Ohio State. Yesterday felt like their last stand and they showed up against us. I’m from a Penn State family and have gone to games there since I was a kid. While it wasn’t a nighttime whiteout environment, their crowd still showed up and brought a lot of intensity once Penn State showed they were going to play with a pulse today. It affected our execution at some times, but Mendoza and Coogan were largely unfazed. But the point is that we got their crowd’s best in the second half and still rallied with complete composure. I wouldn’t look too much into this game from the “are we legit for barely winning?” lens. Penn State is a very talented team with a top 5 home field advantage. When it mattered most, with our best WR out of the game, we drove right down the field and won it. Some pundits will see this as a gritty road win against what was supposed to be a national title contending team. Others will hold it against us and say we got lucky to beat a winless Big Ten team. And all will say we clearly are a step behind Ohio State…It’s nonsense. We won in a situation that plenty of top teams lose every year, including Ohio State last season with Michigan. I also remember Ohio State once struggling with a Zander Diamont team at home the same year they won the title. We may get jumped by A&M this week in the rankings, but who cares. This team is a national title contending team, and we now have Wisconsin, Purdue and a bye to clean things up and get healthy for the Big Ten Championship, which we very much can win.

Me yesterday watching games with Banners down

No wonder West Virginia was so salty with us

I’m so happy looking at the sideline and not seeing Mike Woodson over there.

And a basketball coach

We may not have the athletes like the past many years, but we now have the basketball players.

Love how he just walked away after draining that shot

I wonder if Woody is watching this while sitting on a hump?

Kinda felt this way all offseason after watching him play for so long…Tucker is a top-5 player in the league. And he probably isn’t #4 or 5.

This basketball is so much more enjoyable to watch than the last 8 years

Crean got some big cheers from IU fans just now. Nice to see.

Raby reported Cory Alexander may not make it for the game and former coach Tom Crean might be the sub as game analyst.

Glad the forum is back!

The hump actually got over him

We had full games last year where the entire team hit fewer 3's than Tucker DeVries has made in the first half today.

I hope during a 1st half TV timeout, the PA recognizes him and both fan bases can give him an ovation. Crean may have not been perfect but for IU and Marquette, its been the best they've had for awhile.

And it's now official. Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Former Indiana and Marquette coach @TomCrean is now scheduled to pinch hit as the analyst on the TV broadcast of Indiana-Marquette at the United Center (1 pm Eastern, ESPN). Crean has very quickly become one of the best TV analysts; real insight on players & teams.

It killed me not being able to come here to revel in the magic of that TD catch to seal it. And to think I almost turned my TV off out of frustration a few minutes before, thinking all hope was lost. What an ending. I have probably watched 20 different versions of Cooper's TD catch on X by now.

Re: the crowd: That was more red than I've ever seen at PSU. I think we had ~10K or maybe a little more at Maryland. Some other games have had decent IU fan showings too. We're starting to travel a bit as a football fanbase!
