Not too concerned about defense this early. A common criticism of Dusty May's team last fall was that they couldn't guard their shadows. They ended the season with the #12 Kenpom D.

Another problem is that even multi-sport athletes are now playing all their sports year-round. I'm seeing 3 sport athletes in high school with basketball workouts before school in the morning, football practice after school, and travel baseball on the weekends. It's nuts.

Finebaum desperately wanted to believe that Indiana being good at football was just a mirage. After seeing what we did to Illinois, he wants out of the sport. That's what I'm going with, anyway.

Anyone ever heard of Vaughn Dalzell? He has his own rankings with NBC Sports. He has Bama at #4. Has IU at #20. (Yes, twenty) https://www.nbcsports.com/college-football/news/2025-college-football-rankings-week-6-top-25-new-no-1-oregon-alabama-and-ole-miss-shake-up-polls

Just went back and watched highlights. On Iowa's touchdown near the end of the half, the officials waited 8 seconds after Gronowski went down before finally signaling touchdown. The clock stopped at 22 seconds, then inexplicably ran down to 17. Amazing we were still able to score there.

My first thought was why didn't he just run all the way through. Whoever told him to fall down in the end zone should probably report to Cignetti's office first thing in the morning for a nice little chat.

He should be. That cheating SOB tried to run out the clock after they scored near the end of the first half.

CFP was never happening this year. Reality sucks sometimes.

10 points for Iowa today because we needed 1 yard and weren't tough enough to get it.

Just not tough enough to beat a team like this in this environment. A lot of sh*t is headed our way from the media this week.

Just awful offense today. The crowd noise is in their heads.

We're self-destructing. These guys aren't used to playing under pressure in a tough environment.

LaVar Arrington looking pretty smart right now.

Just hope we can get into halftime with the lead at this rate.

Halftime adjustments would be appreciated.
