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.

Wait until you get to the Iowa game. Your mind will twist into a pretzel knowing 16-0 is the final outcome.

We were so worried after this game. I think we were all thinking 24 had been nice

That game wrecked my nerves.  I was at another sporting event while watching this one from my phone.  It felt like an L to me.  But I wasn’t able to watch every single play like I normally do.  Was so relieved to pull this W out.

I distinctly remember people complaining at halftime of the Kennesaw State game that 2024 was a one-year wonder.

For all intensive purposes, it should have been an L. Iowa made some crucial mistakes and basically gave us that win. Credit to IUFB's defense as well. They made the plays that kept us in it. It was this game I knew we had something special. The PSU game was when I knew we might actually win the whole effin' thing.

The Oregon win on the road said to me the sky was the limit.  Very impressive.  
 
And Kudos to Sarratt for making big time play after big time play in that Iowa game.

I thought for sure we were dead in the water at the end of that PSU game.......that game minus the dive made by Mendoza in championship game....might have been the greatest IU football drive down the field I have ever seen

Iowa definitely feels like the closest we have come to an L. Iowa had that game in the bag until they gave it back to us.  
 

Penn State was only in that game because a ref got in Ponds way.  Turned a 10 yard run into a 57 yard run

The Oregon game was when I shelled out for B1G championship tickets. Money well spent.

Love when Gus Johnson's voice at the end of the PSU game cracks on Cooper's catch. I thought we were done on the first play of the Ohio State game.
