No injury concern for Kamara heading into the game.

Barely posted the past few days because I was in Atlanta. Truly a bucket list experience. When Ponds picky-sixdied it felt like twenty jet planes were revving in 10X10 room. The crowd was insanely pro and all IU. If you take away the Oregon band members? 90-95% IU without a doubt. With an announced attendance of over 75,000, maybe the single largest IU crowd ever; home, road, or neutral. The Oregon people I met were super nice but they kinda didn’t have much of a choice. The IU fans were exceptionally nice to them even when they could have engaged. This semi-old IU fan stayed up past 2:00 am two nights in a row, drove 19 hours over 2.5 days, my voice is still trashed, my eyes ache, and it was one of the best entertainment and IU times of my life. With my 19 year old son and four of my absolutely best college buddies by my side. Never daunted. And sublime.

CTC weighs in. Very classy.

Honestly something about that blocked punt in the 2nd half caught my eye, there might be legs to this. It's almost like we KNEW Oregon was trying to punt on that play.

Good times. IU bball wins on the road and tomorrow I head to Atlanta to watch a game I never, ever dreamed I would see!!!!

Sidenote, I personally know the Brock Schott family and he’ll be a Hoosier very soon. Leo HS TE. Highly rated. I don’t think he’ll be our penciled in starter but he’s a big athletic kid that’s focused on be great. Will be cool having him on the team.

Natty and Natty Lite still feeling like a Champion today!! Go Hoosiers!!!!!

Not sorry if already posted, Indiana Football won a national championship before Purdue Basketball. Have an excellent Tuesday.

When your son DeAngelo does not get recruited by the local team, and you win a national championship over that team? I give you, Papa Ponds:

Lee Beebe has reportedly said he'll be back at IU and ready for fall camp.

Ferrell officially back next year

SI isn't a big deal anymore but still:

I cried. I'm soft. 16-0

Some follow-up on the Fletcher incident with Tyrique per Niz: Indiana football defensive tackle Tyrique Tucker tried to congratulate Miami's running back Mark Fletcher Jr. with a hand shake after a 27-21 win in the CFP title game on Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium. Fletcher stunned Tucker with a sucker punch. "I was just trying to congratulate him on the game," Tucker told The Herald-Times. "He tried to sneak me, everybody kind of held me back. That was a cheap punch. Luckily, we got the win, I'm not really too worried about it. He's salty, he going home with the L." lol. You're damn right Tyrique.

Everyone has their own motivations for career moves, but…anywhere that isn’t Indiana is a current downgrade by nearly every metric.

Coffee tastes f****** fantastic. Gonna savor this special Natty roast, then go pop in on some clients that are big Boilee fans. I plan on going full obnoxious mode, don’t care if they become ex-clients as I’m retiring in the fall. And retiring a VERY happy man Champs!!!!!!

Jared Kelly - Indiana WR Tyler Morris will be back at IU next season and expects to be full go for spring camp, he tells me. Morris, a Michigan transfer, is coming off an ACL tear suffered last spring. He jumped back into practice the week before the Rose Bowl.

Well an IU win would cap off a great day off from work. Got a little afternoon delight with the wife and now she’s making wings for the family for the game. If IU performs like I did today the game should over in the first 5 minutes

Eat your heart out guys Hopefully the screenshots aren't excessive. Just had to share them going through the 5 stages of grief.

lol -- Credit to this Minny fan for posting this and getting CFB twitter and LSU fans all fired up. Ragebait as the kids call it!

Felt like the thread deserved a new title

Class Act

Hey all, Many many posts from many posters (myself included) that are off-topic here. We have threads that cover both Nick Marsh and the NCAA's lack of enforcement capabilities. Let's please ASAP get this thread back on track -- IUFB Recruiting and Transfer Updates. Thanks

Bang

On3 and The Daily Hoosier both reporting S Amare Ferrell will return for the '26 season

Bang.

Being older, stronger, and more experienced has been a big factor in our success this season. We didn't create the rules, we're just playing the game that was laid out. I love this

IU fans walking into work today

Hey btw, real life Miami fans (not the ones on twitter all week fighting with the idiotic Indiana burners) are excellent people. Sat next to 8 of them in the IU section and it was as pleasant as could be. Friendly banter all around the stadium. Their fans kept congratulating IU fans on the way out. It was an incredible atmosphere.

ONCE AGAIN…… 3/4 of the Gameday dicks were wrong!!

Indiana won a title in football before Purdue won a basketball title... LoL

I love all of you on this board! Thanks to each and every one of you guys that have been here since day one. This is the kind of nights we can all dream of no matter what sport.

Looking like Alberto will return to IU for the 2026 season.

Mother Marsh also tweeted this pic

Fisch...and I quote "What do you think of that, Paul BaldTrollDumb@$$?"

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6927575/2025/12/30/ndiana-hoosiers-defense-curt-cignetti-coaches-react/ “(Haines) gets all those sacks because he changes the look post-snap,” said a Big Ten running backs coach. “The quarterbacks think, ‘OK, I’m getting pressure, I’m gonna throw it right here, and then realize — ooh, he’s covered. Sack. He sucks to play against. “Their scheme, man, it’s so tough. They had us in a blender. They’re very multiple. They’re so good with fire zones, simulated pressures, do a good job of fitting the run, and Haines does such a great job of breaking his own tendencies. He does some stuff that is like NFL complicated. He does a great job of understanding what he’s put on film, and having a good feel for how you’re going to attack that so he can lay a trap and watch you walk right into it.” There's even a quote from an SEC coach in there.

As far as BFDs go, this is among the B’est of F’n Ds.
