I still re watch the YouTube highlights of our playoff run weekly. 

 

I’m rewatching the OSU game now.  And holy cow I had forgotten how much the refs had to help OSU.  Probably 10-3 us if the refs called the first half fair

I thought we were done the first play of the game I paced.

Same.  So shattered by that play

 

 I need to rewatch the Iowa game. My heart still tells me they were the one team that stood us face to face without any creative referring.  
 

I’ll go to my grave knowing Miami got away with some stuff. 
 

Penn State had the ref block Ponds and spur the comeback.

Both Iowa and PSU were late first downs away from icing the game. Our defense held tough and the rest is history.
Iowa’s backup QB being forced in definitely helped us.

That was a hard hit.

We've had a pretty rough run for 25 years with sports at IU. 

Then we had the most accomplished CFB season of all time and one of the best stories in CFB history.  Got to enjoy it when times are good and it's nice to see you and other fans are doing just that!

Amen to that

It was a 2 hour wait in line, worth every second of it. Was really nice to see that size of a turnout right here in the heart of Domer country lol.

Totally worth it I am sure. I saw a ton of ND hate yesterday.  Wonder if being so close to a NC triggered them.

I don't follow much sports on X, but ND seems to be taking our natty the hardest.  As in they're very butthurt.

As we know, ND has been doing all they can to win another championship since their last one in 1988.  Like, maximum institutional effort, and their fans identities include being THE football school in Indiana.

To have IU of all teams go 16-0 +479 point diff champs while they decline the Pop-Tarts Bowl was an all time gut punch.  It's so damn funny.

One thing I'd really really like to happen for '26 is ND not winning it all.  They have a very good looking team obviously that could go undefeated with a Heisman and all that.  If they can't win it this season, they will not get much relief from what's happening in Bloomington.

Agreed although I don’t think they have a real Heisman candidate.  I’m just not that impressed.  
 

Would love to see Miami and BYU stuff them in a locker this year then the committee rank them 13th due to they’re weak schedule. 

[Lebowski]

16-0

One of them even went so far as to say that IU's championship has an asterisk since ND wasn't in the playoffs. lol

They probably should have beaten Miami in Miami then lol.  ND fans are ridiculous. 
 

Oregon Fans have been so cool.  They were supposed to be the next first time champs. For like a decade they were almost next in line and the fanbase has been nothing but cool with us winning it. 
 

OSU have been a bunch of little trolls but it’s OSU and that’s just who they are. 
 

But ND hasn’t won crap since I turned 2 and my knees hurt when I stand up now.  Least they could do would be cool with us winning. Purdue fans were by and large cooler with us winning.  
 

Im torn between wanting ND getting left out next year or us curb stomping them

One thing I do know is I will be working my hardest to forever ruin Pop Tarts for the die hard ND fan for as long as I can. May their quest for a cheap, warm, artificial breakfast be forever fruitless.

Thank you CFP X account.

Does it offset the approximate 1,283% increase in season ticket prices? No, but a cool, random gift in the mail from the Varsity Club all the same. Added to the mountain of treasures collected throughout the year.

So each $200 of season ticket price has now increased to $2,766?  Yowza!
