I really hope the NCAA moves the dates for the portal window. It needs to open after the championship game is played. As Cignetti and Lanning have said, it's been a distraction as they try to prepare for the game this week.

In the NIL and Cignetti world of college football, Indiana is here to play

Another big commitment

This is like draft day or signing day in the past.

Last I saw the spread was 10.5. And the Colts offense showed some spark today. Leonard made some rookie mistakes, but his downfield passing was pretty good today. I wish it had been that good last year. Ballard should have been gone many years ago. Steichen, it's a tossup. The team had nothing to play for except pride today, and they came out with a good effort.

Look, if you think home field advantage was worth 10 points, in a game that was 27-3 late in the fourth quarter, then so be it. Cignetti is obviously among the best, if not the best right now, but who is the best team IU has played at home, 8-5 Michigan last year? I don’t think switching venues would change the fact that the ND defense was a tough matchup for IU’s offense last year and that IU had no answers on offense. 2025 IU is a much different story. Elite on both sides of the ball.

Lol, he's not going anywhere. He loves Bloomington...........it's his retirement job. He'll be revered at IU on the same scale as Bob Knight when it's all said and done. Those reports are coming from Vegas. Do you see him as a Vegas kind of guy? Laughable if you ask me.

Good post up until "but others didn't believe they belonged." Everyone knew Notre Dame belonged, the committee just had to make room for Tulane, James Madison, Miami, and Alabama. They got Miami right, which I said from the beginning. I was one of the few who credited them as being one of the best teams in the country. No one can deny how good this team has played since the first week the CFPS rankings came out. It pissed them off and brought out the best in them. But Alabama? C'mon. Five teams from the SEC? C'mon. Vegas agrees with me as well. When they were 85% sure that Notre Dame would be in, they had the Irish as a 5.5 point favorite in Norman. Alabama was a 1.5 point favorite. But, this is an IU page, so.....................good luck to the Hoosiers. They've earned their spot. They're the favorites to win it all. And I hope they do.

Notre Dame is #1 in mentions on the GID. It’s the team everyone loves to talk about. America’s team! I-I-I-Irish!

Spread? I'm thinking 28 points. But that's something everyone already knows. The fair thing to do is to the the Group of Five their own tournament. Kids playing in those leagues will never have a chance at a championship in the current format.

I still have the game on DVD and Imes fouled the Cal player at least twice on the way down the court, and then backed off when he launched the off-balance 3. The game itself shows a slow motion version of the sequence, and it's unequivocal that the officials missed the entire play. Even at full speed it evident that they missed it, even after a review. And the behavior of the Cal coach wasn't much better than Michah' at the end of the game. I still have it on DVD if anyone wants to bring over a pepperoni pizza and watch the slo mo with me.😉

That ain't what he and the 'Bama fans were saying on Thursday. They thought they were gettin' the "little brother" IU and they got the all grown up version!

I got A&M and Ohio State ahead of the Irish so 9th at best

Dimwit Finebaum knows absolutely jack crap about college football. He hangs on the nutsack of the SEC and always will

Alabama vs the Cinderella Story? I can't imagine a college football fan not watching that game no matter where in the United States you reside.

It’s on my to-do list. Just haven’t gotten to it yet.

Have not confirmed, but interesting if true.
