When we hired a coach from JMU I distinctly (LOL) remember predicting:

We would go the the playoffs two years in a row

Get a bye in the second year

We would be rated first in the NATION

Would beat OSU and win the Big Ten

Go undefeated 

Win Coach of the year two years in a row

Win Assistant of the year

Win the Heisman 

etc etc

 

 

I was a huge (video game) NCAA football fan growing up and bought the game annually until about 2008. When they finally brought the series back last year, I went over a friend’s house and tried it out in July 2024, mainly for nostalgia. Mind you, this was the first time ever they had player names in the game. This was my exact reaction throwing passes with some dude named Kurtis Rourke…

Walking through the outdoor farmers market in West Palm Beach, Florida this morning. Saw three separate instances where someone was wearing IU gear. Never saw that before, and it’s not because of basketball.

I was in the golf course yesterday in St Petersburg wearing an IU hat.  People all day brought up our football program...Notre Dame fans, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State.  They all came up to me and started talking football. These are exciting times

An early gift from the 60 Minutes feature! “60 Minutes Overtime” extra footage featuring Aiden:

My wife after I started complaining about the gene therapy piece on 60 Minutes right now, "Maybe you'll learn something."

THATS NOT THE POINT

Good thing I managed to stay up and not fall asleep. Sweet dreams.

Now I want to read this paper.

The 60 Minutes piece was fantastic.

60 Minutes must have loved how the BTCG and Heisman capped off the story they had been working on for weeks.

I like it but I think it focused too much on our past and not our current or future.  
 

also,  the question to dolsen about the money spent on football seemed like a gotcha type thing that will turn off the general public vs acknowledging that’s just the going rate for major college athletics.  
 

Our representatives did very well with their answers and responses.   
 

Proud!

So glad they gave DF some recognition! This man deserves a statue in Bloomington. Legend!

[AKHoosier]

Forgot it was on tonight. 

For those who missed it, it's already available on the CBS website. 

Loved it. Man we are getting such great PR because of this team right now.

Yeah, but it was an interesting story about there are now some cures for some diseases and how d@mn expensive they are.  LOL

B1G Network is showing the condensed version of the Penn State game. 

Just saw 'The Catch." 

Get such a kick out of Gus Johnson's call: "MENDOOOOOZA! ... IN TROUBLE! ... END ZONE! ... TOUCHDOWN! ... WOW! ... AGasrasa. jasturasa. ... UNBELIEVABLE! ... GIVE HIM THE HEISMAN TROPHY NOW!" 

Still amazing what 'Nando did -- 80 yards, 2 minutes, no timeouts and he was sacked on the first play. 

Also still can't believe we squib kicked after that. Did we have a brain fart and forget they needed just 3 points to tie. Still, quite a ballgame.

Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt were the best in that moment.
