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

I am calling it right now:  Clemson is going to beat Texas.

If you watched the pregame Saban basically told Cig to stop running his mouth if he wants to be successful. 
 

I never played at that level to know what makes the bulletin board. But Saban brought it up.

Next year will be a real test. @ Oregon and @Penn St plus Illinois at home will be real challenges . Iowa on the road is never easy. We will have to earn it. 

On paper we won’t have to worry about easy schedule complaints next year.

What exactly did he say? I missed that.

I don’t like Clemson but I dislike the SEC more. I hope TN and Texas both go down tomorrow.

Yep. More top 25 games so more chances to prove it or get smacked.

Cig was saying what he learned to make himself successful. He basically said it was 50% his dad and 50% Saban then he listed off all the qualities from Saban that he thinks makes himself successful. And Saban jumped in at the end and said “I didn’t teach you to talk all that ****. I know that.” Cig blamed it on his mom.

Cig said that he learned a lot from Saban and Saban responded but you didn't learn to talk sh!t like you do from me.

Oh I don’t care one bit if he likes him or not, just could tell from the handshake.

He’s got a point as much as I love it. But if you talk, you got to walk and in the biggest game, he did not walk the talk.

Cig was trying to be friendly….freeman wanted nothing to do with it haha.

Alright, time to breathe and think about it. But seriously, why did we call for fair catches on kickoffs from the ten yard line all game? Why did we run it up the middle the entire first half? And then why did we punt down in the 4th quarter? 
 

Ugh. Just didn’t  look like a team that wanted to win tonight. Which hurts because I got so invested in this team this year.

I am avoiding Twitter (X) for a few days, but I know there has to be a Meme with a picture of Cignetti with the score to the game in large font, and coach Cig saying, "I lose, Goggle me!"

I still love the guy, I don't want him to change, and I am confident he will reload, IU football is in good hands!

Freeman be mad.  Didn’t like Cig doing the on-side and getting a score.  Make no mistake, Cig talks, but Freeman is also an arrogant….

I agree with all of that, especially the kickoff right before the end of the first half, even if you fumble it the half is over, why not try to break it? I also thought that we should have used tempo more, I realize ND was playing soft at the end, but I still think it would have worked earlier in the game. I mean if we don't give up that 98 yard run, which was really the only long run they had all night, this is a 3 point loss!

27-17.  Not an embarrassment ……………recruiting now…

Exactly why WOULDN'T IU have attempted an onside kick in the last game of the season in a playoff game?
