#1 INDIANA FOOTBALL 2025 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

[8bucks]

Looking to put something up on my office wall.  My old CFO was an OSU fan and had the horseshoe stadium print. Was probably 20x30:ish. Good size but open to ideas. What have you found that you think was a Great Wall piece?

Not exactly highly visible.  I wonder if they’ll do anything people can see from the seating bowl.  

I wouldn’t be surprised if Cig wants to keep any displays low key and this is all he allows lol.

It seems from the indentation of the wall that its hopefully just a placeholder and something that matches the size of the indentation and more colorful is made by game 1.

Still not over this. Put a national champs garden flag outside.

Turns out "I win. Google me" was a warning.

I have the Rose Bowl kickoff panoramic hanging in my office. I know this is might be weird but for some reason I think winning the Rose Bowl meant more to me than any of the other post season wins. No clue why. Might be the history of it? Who knows. Don't get me wrong though, winning the CFP outright has me ecstatic.

I find myself rewatching that game’s highlights more than any other game from last season, maybe except for the final drive at Penn State.

I get that... was so excited for the Rose Bowl win, for sure... not sure I can pick a "favorite" win in such a magical season... 

Now, let's do it again!

I can see it because it’s the Rose Bowl, but I never thought we’d come close to losing that game. For me I’d rank them as: National Championship game, B1G championship game, Peach Bowl (influenced by my presence), and a tie between the PSU and first Oregon game.  Alabama probably goes in a group with the Iowa and Illinois game for me.  
 

The PSU was the most dramatic and an all-timer. The Oregon game numero uno because it’s the first time I think the world really had to set up and take notice as us a championship contender.

Good list.

I think since we won it’s kinda becoming forgotten we had to play the natty in Miami’s home stadium.  While we did have 2/3 the crowd, that’s still Miami’s comfort zone.  They were doing game prep as they usually do on their campus and they’re all accustomed to the look/feel of that stadium.

Overcoming that made it even more impressive.

My dad passed away last month. He was born and raised in Bloomington but never moved back after enlisting in the military. Even though we never lived in Indiana, he filled my head with stories about IU my whole life. He was the only person in my life I could call and chat with about IU sports LOL. I'm so glad we got watch this championship run together.

Thank you for sharing. Losing a parent is a tremendous pain, and I hope you are doing ok. The fact that you 2 got to experience a championship together before he passed is incredible, and i hope it brought you closer, as sports are meant to do.

Always love noticing little things when I go back and watch these. It was hilarious how the Penn State crowd cheered after seeing the first replay, trying to convince the officials it wasn't a catch.

In 20 years, that play will still make me feel all "WTF just happened!". Gus Johnson's voice cracking up is just the cherry on top for that call.

I tell you, It would almost be worth going back to Indiana University and pursuing another degree just to enjoy the Hoosiers Football National Championships!

And many thanks to the players, coaches, fans for being so...incredible!  

And to Purdue...POTFB.

April 2024 they were in the CBB Championship game.  Little did they know the next two years were gonna be rough.  Real rough.  Unthinkably rough.

Starting my rewatch of 25-26 today. I really haven't rewatched a game except for the 4th quarter of the B1G title game randomly on BTN once. I was saving this experience for the dog days of summer when I'm dying for football and it's time.

It is truly baffling that the team that came out in the 1st half against Old Dominion went 16-0. This is the most week 1 game of all time.
