  1. Actually, I kind of agree with you. However, I really love what Lebowski posted about denigrating Oregon because of their supposedly weak schedule: "Works for me. Keep doubting us." Just keep focused on the really big issue... Purdue still sucks!
  2. Big stop by the Hoosier line and linebackers!! Yeeehaaaa... Score IU!
  3. Why is it that IU has to go to La La Land to play Disney's Donald Ducks? That is just Mickey Mouse.... Go IU! How long until the one CBS game announcer talks about Purdoo? Over/Under?
  4. Did someone say GAME DAY?!!!!! GO IU! Here is one opinion about how Oregon may play today. The writer presents that Oregon does not make mistakes, does not turn over the ball, does not get a lot of penalties, is quick, will attack the right side of IU's OL to pressure our QB, will use their heft. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/five-keys-to-the-game-no-3-oregon-vs-no-7-indiana-256218734/#2722905 IU has to play it's game. If the game slows down and does not confuse Oregon, then IU is not keeping Oregon players one step behind. IU must mix it up, schemes, move the ball on the ground, bring the A game. Obviously, not end up with lots of possessions with 3rd and long. Get ahead early. Mendosa is one smart guy. IU has to play smart. Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. And beat Oregon physically. Make no mistakes. Take away the ball. A really tough road game in the B1G. The QB matchup will be fun to watch.
  5. Not too worried about the game against Oregon. Checked the air traffic control issues. Right now, there are no delays in Eugene. On the other hand, that is not looking at flights originating and connecting anywhere else. Oh well...hope that IU fans show up. Sure, it will be a challenge for the team, the coaches, & etc. Protecting Mendoza from Oregon's DL and the blitz is, of course, a big deal. The road game against a really good team is an excellent test for IU. I plan on enjoying the heck out of the game. Great entertainment! Huge opportunity to bring home more than just cooked duck l'orange.
  6. I see why our playoff odds went up. I do not understand why IU would not have better odds. We did give Illinois their only loss so far and they were ranked #9. We also beat a tough Iowa team on the road. Unless the ratings are by ESPN who will rank Miami as #1 and some SEC team with losses ahead of Indiana, IU will move up to displace Penn State with 2 losses. Ranked a possible #8. When IU goes to Oregon on Oct. 11 the Hoosiers could win one of the biggest contests in the country. Oregon does not play any other top-ranked teams this regular season. This program could, well...just win, team!
  7. Did I hear: "GAME DAY!"? Yes! Today we start our domicile downsizing project bigtime. But, I can take a break to get a sipping bourbon and cheer on Peacock(???) IU dismantling of Iowaaaay. Fire!
  8. TONIGHT! IU men's soccer Friday night (8 ET) on BTN at home against visitor UCLA. Have to bring the heat for a change.
  9. Spot on synopsis. IU seemed not really interested in taking it to the opponent. Just sat back hoping something would break. Comon...!!
  10. IU favored by 6.5 over Iowa in spite of being the visitor. Ride 'em into the dust...Hoosiers!
  11. And to think, the Illinois vs IU game last night was NOT a buy-in. Coach Cig and the team and the fans certainly turned it up a notch. Do it again. Harder.
  12. Are we watching an historical changing of the guard in the Big Ten? Or are we just watching an overrated Illinois get handled by IU? I really get a kick out of the front line. IU is controlling the center of the game. Love it to pieces. Go IU!
  13. Illinois had to punt on first possession.
  14. It's game day!! Rock & roll! Enjoy watching the bison leave droppings for the Illinois mascot which does not exist at the moment...maybe the platypus... But more likely, the dung beetle.
  15. It's either the game or politics. You choose. Answer: The Rock!
