How the **** does the ref at halfcourt call a foul on Bailey in the post when the ref on the baseline with a clear line of sight didn't?

Genuinely don't understand why Hummel gets to call Purdue games so often

Need to stop the bleeding here

We need Cig in the building at more home games lol

We're getting some insane fouls Can't let off the gas like against Nebraska. Time to take the next step as a team and close them out in the second half.

Happy for Miles. He could use that confidence boost.

Sorry but Painter and Smith don't impress me. At all.

DDV better be on their *** for a makeup call

JFC we really don't get any home whistle

BS call on Alexis. Cmon

This Purdue team is really not so scary imo

Defense has been really good at times tonight. Need some 3s to fall.

God Cig is the man.

I want this one bad.

OSU and Michigan will be tough. Glad to have OSU at home. Not sure how good Michigan will be in Y1... could be very IMO. But we will see. Minnesota could be a trap game but I think we handle them at home. Need to stay healthy through that stretch. Gonna be tough without an earlier bye. 12-0 is definitely on the table. Suppose we can't go undefeated every year so 11-1 wouldn't bother me too much, I guess.

Happy 26th birthday to Chad Baker-Mazara of USC. Lol

This was always going to be the outcome. As long as schools continue refusing to recognize these guys as and negotiate a CBA (obviously easier said than done), we will see more of this. Luckily Cig seems the type to keep us out of such messes.

So no spring portal anymore... are we likely done portal shopping? Or reasonable to think there may be a few more additions coming?

Saw some Barstool guys say before the season IU had 150 to 1 odds to win the title. That's the same as Utah State winning one in basketball, for perspective. Will never get tired of celebrating this team.

Just saying, we could be a better team and not necessarily have a better record than we did this year. QB is the big question mark for me from that perspective but by all accounts Hoover is a proven power conference player and has a lot of experience with RPO. So I think Cig will get the best out of him. And he's got a ton of weapons in the WR room with I think very solid backs (maybe not as good as this year's?). I think it's possible we're better because our trenches on both sides of the ball are talented and pretty deep. We will definitely miss Fisher but I think Jones and Hardy will keep the unit more than solid. No replacing Ponds, but I think overall the secondary is pretty strong. Don't think we will see special teams take a step back given how much of a priority it was coming off the first year of Cig and how impactful they were for us. Bottom line for me is the culture is in great shape, the program has ample resources, and most importantly... we didn't lose Cig, Haines, or Shanahan. So I expect the well-oiled machine to keep on humming. Fully expect the team to play as hungry as ever. Thats part of their identity... root out complacency (I doubt any exists in that locker room tbh).

Seems possible to me we may be even better next year. Coming off a 16-0 National title season, that should be scary for everyone else.

The NFL will be littered with Hoosiers by the time Cig hangs it up.

Where were you when Omar Cooper Jr made The Catch?

I've been lurking one of their very popular boards for the lulz the past few weeks. The arrogance is insane. Baseless accusations of IU cheating, that we only win because of Cuban's money (LOL), this title is illegitimate since they weren't in the playoff, etc. But most funny is how they cling to their "blue chip ratio" and claim steadfastly that stars from recruiting services ACTUALLY matter. They don't. It's a new era and we just proved it. But they want the prestige (like they always do) and think it was smart to show guys like Coogan and Burnham the door because "they don't have high round pick potential like their back ups anyway." Okay... and that impacts winning at the collegiate level, how, exactly? Lol... they can keep sending an experienced vet or two down to Bloomington every year when the vets decide they want to actually win something I guess.
