Class of '66 Old Fart

IUFB vs Washington - Saturday, 10.26.24 - ESPN College Game Day

Recommended Posts

Fun game to be at again today. Fanbase is still learning how to do this. We gotta be rowdier as a fanbase on defense and if you need a break do it when we're on O. I saw somebody tell a student to sit down during a drive. Changing mindsets is on us as fans as well. Sitting and watching the game on our ***** is the old Indiana. We can be one of the best environments in the Big Ten, but we have to do it every week.

You don’t have to be a first round pick to be a stud college player. We see that all the time in college basketball. He’s at the top or near the top of every passing category in the conference this year. A “steady” and “consistent” player is a game manager type to me. Rourke is the type who can go out and win games for you, not just go out and not lose them. 

I guess we have different definitions of "stud" then.

While IU sometimes has seasons where they win some games, this team is passing the eye test. They look well coached, they don't beat themselves with stupid penalties and mistakes, and the couple times they've actually been challenged they've responded.

Washington had wind in their sails; a goal line stand to end the 2nd then got an INT and TD to start the 3rd. This team punched right back and scored 14 straight.

Here’s the guy that Tom Allen didn’t love because he drinks too much beer and drops too many f bombs.

At the 1:45 mark he talks about how he could see the O line breaking the will of UW. Love me some beer drinking, f-ing Mike Katic:

 

If your O-line doesn’t drink beer and drop F bombs, you suck.

Not the best the team has played all season but may have been their most impressive win...outside of last week. Most adversity IU has faced all year. When it was 17-7 out of half and they throw the interception...that game could have gone the other way. Instead,  they respond with a 14 play drive that results in 7. This team is different!

1) I thought Tayven did his job. He wasn't great. But good enough. I'll take the blame for the INT. Out of half I said out loud the most important thing so far is he hasn't turned the ball over.  Would prefer Rourke to come back next week as long as he's capable. It sounds like he should play. 

2) Last week on Gameday Thamel said that the only NFL talent IU has is Rourke. I disagree. Kamara has impressed me all year long. Feel like a few of the OL guys could get drafted as well. Surratt and potentially Ellison. Have zero clue where they get picked, but this team has more than one NFL player.

3) Funny seeing one loss #4 Ohio State beat Nebraska by 4. Meanwhile "#13" Indiana beats them by 49. Only B1G team I'm putting ahead of Indiana is Oregon.

Wish we played PSU this season

People can say what they want, but I think it’s disingenuous for people like Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit, who both picked us to lose today, to come back next week and say we haven’t played anybody.  I mean, if you picked us to lose, you must have thought we played a good team.

When Washington scored to get within 3 it would've been easy for this team to pack it in and with Allen's teams it probably would've been a back breaker. The line adjusted and blocked better allowing Ellison to run all over the defense in the 2nd half, he runs with intent and it's great to watch.

Jackson left some plays on the field but inconsistency with a backup QB with little game time is expected, he also showed some potential.

Ponds showed out well, especially on that 2nd pick. Stayed glued to the receiver, turned his head, high pointed the ball and made the receiver try and play defense.

I was at a family cookout watching and one of them is a pUKe fan, he saw a camera shot with the stands filled with red and asked if it ever looks like that and I said "no, not unless OSU fans are in town".

If you caught Coach Cig’s press conference after the game he said Washington changed their defense to more zone coverage.  They threw out half the game plan and changed things up.  Guy will do whatever is necessary to win.  We are in great hands.

Any suggestions for parking for the Michigan game?  I bought my tickets awhile back but didn’t but parking….now seeing lots close to the stadium going for $250 or more for a space.

The Church across the street from the Stadium on 46. $30-$35 cash. Or find any IU lot and park for free. A big one on 12th & fess I believe. Of course you have to get there early.
