Wasn't Tulane an SEC school until they left in 1966?

So... Power outage?

People are literally having flashbacks to that game from 2014 between Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.

Minus Tom Allen, of course.

It's no contest, Ohio State is on another level.

I won't be going to the Rose Bowl. Instead, I'll be heading to the Music City Bowl on assignment with my job. Hey, it's how I got to see the Hoosiers finally beat Ohio State. I'll make $150 for the trip. The downside is that I'll have to deal with Illinois fans in SEC country.

Well, I missed out on predicting against Ohio State because the forum was having all sorts of problems. My Birth State - 27 My Parents Birth State - 14 (for context, I'm a Hoosier but my grandparents are from Alabama)

Good lord, we're playing THEM? Chicago State may have a chance when they play IU Indy but against the Hoosiers, it's going to be a bloodbath, even if we're (not) NIT bound.

Absolute Bloodbath: 100 Why is Chicago State starting football?: 65

My problem with IU Indy this year is that they went right back to what doomed Matt Crenshaw; he lived and died by the three point line, and Ben Howlett is doing the same thing. That may work in Division II, but it's not going to help in Division I.

Luckily for us Hoosiers still in Indiana, they're going to be building one in Greenwood next year and another one in Boone County by the end of the decade. Plus... I did take a photo with the goober.

Two-Time NIT Champion Penn State: 78 This Team Ain't Ready for Prime Time: 69

I'm buying merch to celebrate our undefeated regular season and Rose Bowl appearance and stumble upon this oddity.

Oh, goodie; they're going to bail on them on other sports, too?

Back when Indiana was shitty, this probably would've been a chance for us to sneak into a bowl game, but I'm kinda seeing why teams are skipping bowls, and it's not because of the elite schools with that CFP or Bust mentality. A lot of the lower tier bowl games have smaller payouts, and in some cases, end up costing the schools just for visiting. I recall a long time ago the old bowl game that used to be in Houston that was quite delinquent in payouts. If you're a Group of Five school, that could set your athletic department back big.

Oughta be careful with first timers, since we lost to Ole Miss on our first foray with the Rebels.

And use your non conference games with the toughest teams possible. I get tradition is important, but playing Navy and Purdue every year isn't going to help.

The reverse jackets are in shambles!

Finally this forum is back for me. I attended the game in person so last night was particularly special. It was my first Hoosiers game in person and it was the first time I ever got to see them beat the Buckeyes. ...I'm 36. That says a lot. I started crying.

I was thinking about doing a Christmas gift and enduring that you wouldn't finish in last place but then you dropped this.

The Big Ten's Worst Nightmare Has Finally Come True; Indiana in the Championship Game: 69 Undue Purniversity: 7

Well, I didn't want to cancel Louisville, and Colorado State backed out.

Bought me a used Whop Philyor jersey off eBay, going to sneak it in under my work clothes during the Big Ten Championship game.

All that's left after the bye is the Bucket game.

And then soils himself.
