The IUFB championship trophy tour is in South Bend today.

So after next season do we think both natty trophy’s will travel together or will one hit the northern part of the state while  the other travels in the southern part ??

One in West Lafayette while the other is in South Bend. Has to be done

So a person with an Ohio State plate cut me off. As I approached the light and screamed “13-10 @$$*(‘. Go Hoosiers” and drove by as I saw smile turn into a frown. Ahhh it’s fun to be the champs.

Don't know where to post this.  Has there been a good discussion or analysis of the national administration second Executive Order on college sports?  Trump NCAA executive order, explained: Transfer rule, eligibility update 

It has no teeth but may prod either the Legislative branch or the NCAA.  Right? (Spoiler alert:  No)

Please delete if against the site rules.

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 

ND irritates the crap out of me. A lot of ND fans legit think they have a claim to the championship by virtue of beating us last year. 

They like to use that one game as a metric, while ignoring the fact 2025 IU beat the team ND lost to in the 2024 CFP Championship.

It's the cherry on top we beat Miami, who coincidentally also beat Texas A&M, both of which were responsible for ND's losses.

"Oh but we were playing so well by the end of the season!" Yeah like that could only apply to ND. No one else improved throughout the course of the season.

Did I mention they irritate me.

If we got to play Syracuse in November, we may have put 100 on them.

Fernando and Coach Cignetti were spotted together in Times Square today.

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.

Last year was a great run for decapitating sh*thead fan bases - Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama and Miami (Oregon fans are actually very chill). 

For next year’s championship run I would love to mix things up and take out LSU, Georgia and Notre Dame (plus Michigan twice - regular season and Big Ten championship).

Aw man, I wanted to take Texas out too!

I don't see Michigan making the championship game--- they have to play us, @OSU, and @Oregon

One things for certain... they won't be conference champs.

Me neither, but it would be hilarious to beat them twice in a season. I’d prefer not to play OSU twice in a season, and I’m getting a little tired of seeing us beat the crap out of Oregon. Some variety wouldn’t hurt haha.

They just missed the cut. I’d prefer we play three CFP games again instead of four, but if four…we can add Texas and just smack three SEC teams in a row. Notre Dame is #1 for who needs a beat down from us though, so they can’t be dropped.

This season just doesn’t feel like it will be truly complete till our guys get drafted.  Especially Fernando.  
 

I hope we keep the tradition alive of playing ABBA at games would be fun and unique and would let me explain the my grandkids one day the pure magic of this past season.
