Magnanimous

Tennessee may very well be open if Tennessee accusations are true. Sounds like Pruitt lied to compliance officers?

What are folks prognostications if the Big Ten championship gets cancelled? OSU still dealing with Covid issues... If the game is cancelled, it’s very doubtful Ohio State gets into the CFP with five games. NW would also be co-champions and only have one loss. That would prob knock us down to a second rate bowl. I think the game will still be on, but it’s not over yet.

He was an avid IU fan, made the old forums what they were (and still are on the new HSN) and seemed like a great guy. I know some knew him much better than I did, but I did enjoy hearing his stories as an older IU fan. RIP.

No offense to CTA, but between Malzahn’s buyout and CTA’s buyout, I’d be pretty pissed as an Auburn fan if they paid over $40m for their coaching change and landed CTA, and this would be before the salary kicks in...I know they have a lot of money and a lot of stupid people willing to spend it, but you don’t pay that much money to take a chance on someone. You pay that much to be in contention, and there is no guarantee CTA will take them to the level they want, let alone even replicate what Malzahn was able to do there.

I want the Fiesta Bowl vs. USC. That’s it. As long that matchup happens I’m not complaining (assuming OSU throttles NW). College football is a very dirty, old boys club about as corrupt as Congress, except that it’s corporate sponsorships are actually all out in the open. I said this earlier and someone else just posted it tonight, this is not a world that IU fans have had to deal with until this year. This is not going to ever change until there is an objective path for every team to have a shot at the playoff when they start the season, such as with auto-bids for winning your conference. That’s not happening until the playoff goes to 8 teams. Until then, just enjoy what we’re seeing out of our program and leave it at that. There are much bigger fish in this food chain that get screwed over every year with this system.

Tough break but he should find a landing place somewhere. I can’t believe he’s only 25.

Took a quick glance at some Auburn forum, Allen isn’t even on anyone’s top 15 list of candidates.

It’s also one thing if the core group that made you successful will turnover, like Tracy Smith with Schwarber, Travis & co., but except Fryfogle and Philyor, this entire team is literally back next year, including CTA’s son. I think there’s too much attachment to this group to go to Auburn or anywhere else right now. Another interesting story about coaching changes, Rich Rodriguez was West Virginia football to his core. It was his alma mater and he turned them into a NC contender. He still left for Michigan. Part of the reason was the money, but not for him but his staff that he brought with him. He felt he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to change all their families’ lives and that played into his decision. That and him being a megalomaniac. Now our coordinators have already turned over a bit and Big Ten money is already on the table for CTA, so again I don’t think this is comparable, but I’ve always thought about that Rich Rod story when these coaches leave the place they love for bigger opportunities.

I don’t think Auburn would be eating a $21m buyout right now unless they had their guy lined up already. Otherwise why now? They’re not winning the SEC next year.

I think they want Freeze, but it’ll be something to keep an eye out for.

Tuesdays at 7.

Michigan to play Iowa on Friday. Forget the 2v2 crossover idea.

No fans and we’re over holiday break vs. Northern Alabama. No students on campus either. These guys must’ve been playing PS5 a lot this week.

In a conference of asshats, Mullen wears the crown.

Michigan insiders saying Michigan-Iowa is very likely for next week. Wisconsin trying to play Minnesota as well. Sounds like they’re throwing out the crossover matchup for whatever Barry wants, so don’t be surprised if we play Purdue next weekend if both teams are ready.

Every DC leaves except at Clemson. He did a great job this year.

We would’ve won the national championship last year if the tournament had been played.

Wisconsin’s 7-5 team playing in and winning the 2012 Big Ten championship isn’t considered fake so why should this one be?

We’re officially a football school if we’re now getting pissed at the politicking BS that goes on in this dirty God-forgiven sport.

Indiana was down 35-7 at one point and I still feel like we blew that game. Tuttle is no slouch and could keep IU competitive in a rematch, especially if played in Bloomington.

But I thought we played in West Columbus?

There’s nothing to get. This conference went from Big 2 Little 8 to Big 1 F-off 13.

Our new AD better fight like hell on this if it happens.
