Hopefully in 9 months time Indiana new born children will oddly be named Fernando.

I thought about telling my sister to change Cooper's name.

Whatever it is, you can bet it will involve a mirror, a razor blade and a rolled up dollar bill.

Now come on. Irvin played a long time in the NFL and made a good deal of $. It's a $5 bill.

[OliviaPope40]

I apologize to my parents one more time.

[Banksyrules]

I think Mendoza’s time in Cal will pay off here. He knows what it’s like with no line. As u can tell I’m trying to make myself comfortable lol.

[Brass Cannon]

We are so gonna outnumber them 60/40

Hopefully Smith and Benson bring their A games and limit the impact those defensive ends have.

If you watch the video posted several pages ago, they got them handled.  Their technique should neutralize them for the most part.

A good buddy's view from his seat:

[Hovadipo]

Hoo Hoo Hoo chants breaking out over Pitbull talking about the city of Miami. There’s a LOT of IU fans here. 

[Demo]

No

No, no

No, no, no

Do not want this and will NEVER reciprocate it.

Those are actually boos.

Because Pitbull sucks.

Shot from College Gameday.  Obviously just a sample.  But that's a lot of Crimson.

Freeman on gameday set while his rival and in state rival are playing. Hilarious - NERD

And it wouldn’t be an IU event if Prince didn’t jump in.

Is he crying about how proud he is of his team for deciding to not play football again?

Disagree. Well, half disagree so, disa. I'm a big fan of being so inside Boilers' heads that they're actually cheering for us. Even giving them a spanking inside their own giant freezer just left them hungry for more.

But, any Hoosier who roots for Duey to win a championship in anything is dead to me.

Holly Rowe's report on Medoza's routine today (lol)

Aside from the typical pregame meal, taping, meetings he will:

- wake up and watch mass

- take a 30-90 minute nap (the sleep scientists at Cal Berkeley taught him this and he really believes in it apparently)

- pray rosary on the bus 

- put contacts in when he gets to stadium 

- meditate for 10 minutes. On a scale of 1-10, he wants his "activation point" to be about a 6, because that means he will be calm and zen and at his best.

Such an awesome young man. I can't wait for this game.

No kidding. A couple years ago, I rooted so hard for UConn I did everything but get a Huskies tattoo. And I live around a bunch of UConn fans, they can be pretty insufferable.
