We are winning right?

I do like their pre Mandy Moore stuff far better.

Just got offered a free ticket to Dawes at the Ryman tonight. I’m incapable of making this decision on my own. Tell me what to do.

I’m just hoping that this is an indication that we can totally beat Maryland on the road.

Maybe you are.

PSU - 31 IU - 9 Defense plays admirably well and this one is close at 17-9 with about 7 minutes left. We never get anything going offensively. D finally breaks and gives up a big run to go down 24-9 and then a late pick 6 puts it away at 31-9.

Man we need to get Miami or FSU booked for a home and home soon. I don’t care how bad they are, IU football beating a brand like that would be fantastic, and would only strengthen our Florida recruiting pipeline.

Unfortunately, I can't agree. I think it was only a successful (clearly, no questions asked successful) 2 point conversion. :-) These highlights were encouraging for reasons I didn't expect. Mainly that up until that last drive, Penix was pretty awful. Which means he started last season pretty poorly and improved until injury. So now I've unfortunately got myself thinking we'll most definitely turn this season around. Great.

Agreed. For the most part I enjoyed how he broke down things during a basketball game. But his radio/social media/etc. persona will fit in perfectly with the Clay Travis theatre.

The best part about this scenario is that we've become so dominant that it appears Minnesota didn't even bother to come to B-town and Purdue let us know not to bother coming up there, both just handing us the wins. I'm on board.

I agree. In many ways I’ll take the win regardless of how it looked b/c that was a total trap game. But I’m not confident we find 4 more wins looking at our schedule. Which is why I said we saved our chance at a bowl. If we lose that game there wouldn’t even be a chance.

Saved our chance to make a bowl game. Not impressive though.

Victory formation. 33-31. I guess we did it.

This is bad. We’re going to leave them way too much time.

You kidding me? This has late TD and onside kick written all over it.

Big favor there. I don’t know how the WKU staff didn’t believe they could convert that.

We’ve let their offense get in rhythm. I predict 48-36 Hilltoppers. The dream is dead.

It does strangely feel like the immediate future of this program has been riding on this 2 game stretch (last week and this week). To your point, a 1-3 start almost certainly turns into a 1-4 start and possibly a 1-6 start. The momentum this program has would virtually disappear and, whether true or not, would give credit to the theory that last season was a fluke. Tonight is a must win.

Pretty cool to see Scott Effross is up with the Cubs right now.

I’ve done everything in my power to not believe….until yesterday. There may well be some magic happening here. 2011? That’s a different level of belief!!

The only football game that will be televised on CBS at night will be the SEC game of the week. I think where games are televised are determined by the home team. C-USA's TV deal is primarily with CBS Sports Network and some streaming services, to my understanding. The only C-USA events that make it to CBS are things like the men's basketball tournament championship. My guess is CBSSN saw a power five (nationally ranked opponent at the time) on the schedule for one of their team's and snagged the rights for it to be their primetime game as soon as they could b/c it's an easier game to promote and have a bunch of people trying to figure out how to subscribe to watch.

Look buddy, speak for your own lady time outcomes. I for one hope it's the same outcome as lady time!

Any word on whether there will be an option to watch/stream?

I won't entirely disagree, but we've really only seen him in 3 total halves? Prior to the Penix injury last season, he only really played in mop up duty right? The Wisconsin game was his first college start, and then he played nearly half if not more of the bowl game with a separated shoulder after nearly a full month break of very limited practice. His stats from the Wisconsin game don't jump off the page, but he made some really nice throws in that game and would have had 1 more TD if not for an inexcusable wide open drop by Marshall. Add in all the reps he got with the first string in the spring and I'm starting to be more confident we'd be in better shape with him in there.
