We're still getting roasted. And it's mainly because of the game result. We lost by 10, but let's be honest -- it really wasn't that close. We had a couple late scores to make it 10, which ironically, ended up being the closest tally of the four weekend games. 

But had we lost by 10 in a more competitive manner -- or maybe by 7 or 3 or whatever -- would the fussing still exist? Maybe, but it wouldn't be as loud. 

So that tells me the latest measuring stick is game results. And if that's the case, why does it appear that nobody is calling out Tennessee? They got poleaxed by O$U. Does that mean they didn't belong? And if so, there's no way Alabama belongs -- because UT beat 'Bama when they played. Not to mention their losses to Vandy and Oklahoma. 

SMU isn't even getting hammered as hard as we are. I don't get it. Maybe Cigs' bravado helped lead to such a toxic discourse. I sure as hell can't figure it out. 

I think CCC's mouth is part of it. Part of it was that it was the 1st game on a Friday night. Part of it is the butthurt by the SEC for Tennessee getting embarrassed. Part of if is elitism and they just see IU's history.

At the end of the day, they all played 60 minutes and it lost by the least amount. It's not like it was against ND's scrubs.

OSU called off the dogs with 8 minutes left in the game. Tennessee scored their last touchdown against second and third team players. Because we scored late doesn't negate the fact that we scored. The final score is all anyone will remember years from now. And we weren't down three scores to OSU in the first half. This SEC promotion is just a marketing ploy by ESPN. It's so transparent that even a blind man could see it. The bigger the playoff field, the bigger the discrepancy between the best teams and the rest of the field will be. Nobody complains when a 16th seed plays a1 seed in college basketball. Teams play their way in based on their record. I'm tired of hearing the bs about who belonged and who didn't. If you want in, beat the teams on your schedule. End of rant.

And they make terrible arguments that “the only two ranked teams IU has played have beat them” as if playing a top 25 team at home is the same as playing a featured game on the road against two top 5 teams.

That game just went into OT. 

Nothing like free Bulldong football.

And the Northern Illinois Huskers beat them in OT.

The guy that pisses me off the most is Herbstreit! I really cannot stand that guy, the way he makes all of those stupid faces when he is listening to Al Michaels to give the impression he really gives a **** what Al is saying! Pompous know it all...I still say Notre Dame is a lot better than people give them credit for, I'm no fan and usually root against them, but I wouldn't be too upset if they won it all!

One last thing while I am venting, that 98 yard run was a fluke play, ND did not run all over us, you take that play, that one long pass down to about the 2 yard line, and the FG at the end of the first half that they should never have gotten because grounding should have been called....that's 17 points. We stunk the place up, it happens, but we deserved our shot, we earned it!

Herbstreit’s a freaking loser. Dude spent all weekend twerking for the SEC, watched Tennessee get throttled live, and then went right back to “I don’t want to hear about wins” immediately after. Utter clown behavior.
