40 years. 40 mother****ing years since Vandy knocked out Alabama.

You think that's bad, go to Fenway.

So how's the mood over in Dumpsville, aka West Lafayette?

Yeah, I agree with BottomLine; Indiana will have to face a real test against an actual opponent that has had years of development, and that'll see if the program has what it takes to deal with that level of challenge, especially as some people are already jumping the gun about us getting a playoff bid. That said... we ARE playing Northwestern, and they are on a temp field, at that. Going Bowling, Baby - 45 Can't We Bring Chicago Back to the Big Ten? - 17

I got a feeling he's going to try and get a spot on Penn State. He seemed to give Curt the benefit of the doubt but Cignetti felt he wasn't good enough to play, so he's just going to head on over to Tom Allen.

No, they should have extended him.

October hasnt begun and a win makes us bowl eligible. Can you believe this?

This. You gotta keep your star QB healthy.

No joke, they are building a program in Maryland and the elimination of divisions is only going to help them out even more.

Sometimes it's fun to take hope away. Especially after it has happened to us countless times.

Still leagues ahead what we are used to, though. Last year, Maryland would be around 49 points.

God, it's so weird to watch an IU game and not panic about the defense.

Defense with the huge play, stopping Maryland.

Well, that sucks. But we can't expect the team to not be turnover free forever.

We can't blame weather. This fanbase historically has used every excuse in the book to get wasted in the parking lot and not go into Memorial Stadium.

Man, if these fans don't show up during sunny weather, they sure as hell won't show up during a tropical depression.

Home Jersey is like the Boggle Playing Chicken of the predictions thread And I'm not much better.

I was the one guy who hated Tom Allen the most, even back before it became acceptable or within reason. If I can forget him and embrace the human cigar lounge, certainly others can.

I feel like if we get bowl eligible by late October, fans should come. Hope to God.

Looked okay last week against UCLA. I think they need some serious adjustments and discipline. Playing down to competition doesn't help.

****, second game this year I forgot to predict. At least we're killing.

Aesthetically, they have to compete with their cross-town rivals USC in saying "it's LA!", but intangibles paint a far bleaker picture. Last conference championship is 1998, forget talking about the '54 natty (that technically speaking is actually Ohio State). I'm not sure if there's film footage of that team. The Rose Bowl is historic, but not because of the Bruins.

Least I was better than I was during Western Illinois.

Contrary to my username, I am not miserable in the slightest. I figured we would win tonight. I didn't think we would stomp on their throats.
