How does a fanbase that's flipping their jackets in a couple weeks chant Hoosier Daddy?

Man, Notre Dame fans are wack.  They don't show up to their basketball team when they're good.

Welp.

I have no interest in hearing post-game pundits as the “Indiana didn’t belong” comments will be rampant.

Maybe they are right but I don’t want to hear it.

 Now what do we do? Get excited for the big Chattanooga game LOL LOL LOL

Ben McCollum would’ve won this game.

We will likely get zero benefit of the doubt in seasons to come, until we win or are competitive in these big games.

The fact that I’m evening typing that about IUFB in December is not lost on me…

Great Season boys…can’t wait to see what this staff and team are made of next year!

[RoadRage 1,838]

I'd still like to see us score a touchdown!

Varsity vs JV tonight. We got punked in every aspect.

For most of the season, Rourke looked as if he knew exactly where to put the ball and exactly where his receivers would be. 

Tonight, it seems as if he's just throwing it out there and hoping someone will catch it. 

[RoadRage 1,838]

Our guys kept fighting, thanks for a great season!

[Home Jersey 7,536]

My approach: drink enough to forget the suckage we witnessed tonight. Wake up tomorrow and be happy Indiana football made the first ever CFP 12 team playoff. Watch our mediocre basketball team. Then, hope we raise the bar for ourselves in both sports next year. Cheers to a helluva year fellas. 11-2 is nothing to hang our heads over. Onward and upward.

I’ll take it. Helluva season!

This comment is part of the problem though. 

Nah…there’s structural disadvantages to a program like Indiana in football. I lived in Madison during part of Wisconsins solid run. There’s no shame in being a very good, but not great, program. It was fun. So much better than being the doormat of old. 

[LamarCheeks 18,896]

So, after fair-catching just about every kickoff, punting when we shoulda gone for it and in general, playing very conservative -- we're going for 2 after a garbage-time TD? 

Okey-doke.

IU loses by 16-18 points to 11-1 Notre Dame:  ‘they don’t belong’

Alabama loses by 21 to Oklahoma:  they should have been in!

[monskisprodigy 1,915]

Frustrating to put together a drive when it doesn’t matter haha. 

[LIHoosier 26,164]

Waffle House is even open on special teams, haha

[RoadRage 1,838]

Hell with it, let's get 8 more!

Unfortunately, the troll may have been right. Not sure we belonged in the playoffs.

I think you’ll see other non-competitive games in these playoffs.  12 teams is a lot, given the rosters of the top teams.

Yup. Just ignore the morons. IU was easily a top 12-15 team this year. Just not a top 5ish.  
 

The bigger problem moving forward is cig was outcoached in his two biggest games and honestly the second half of the UM game too. He did a great job this year but needs to improve moving forward if he wants to maintain this success. 

[Banksyrules 4,776]

Maybe all we need next year is a QB who doesn’t play scared in these  top 10 college football venues. Defense was ok. 

[LamarCheeks 18,896]

If it is fourth down, do we punt? 

LOL.
