I've spent some Saturdays at Memorial Stadium also. The tailgates were always the highlight of the day. And some "post game" tailgates started at, or shortly after, halftime.

Yes, clearly a TIC comment Is there any other team in History that would beat this IU team? Just because they were afforded the opportunity to play 16 games that others in the previous eras did not... so how can you quantify this statement? Bottom line you cannot because I am certain there other teams in other years that also went undefeated would do so also if they were afforded the opportunity to play 16 games like this team did.

Finally…or is this AI?

ZERO BITTERNESS: Go back through every single iu thread I have spoken in: I have led with defending Coach Cig the moment I listened 1 month after he was hired at IFCA clinic. Why does the fact that they won a National Title in this era and myself pointing that out is somehow bitter? I am here to push back on the narrative that folks like @Komets2727 want to claim as BEST TEAM IN HISTORY of college football. I say pump the brakes there big boy: You are currently the best team in the current climate that is known as Professional Collegiate Playoff Football I contended only that there other GREAT teams that also would have had the same outcome as 2025 IU team had if they could have competed in the same rules established, why is that bitter? How quickly we forget the path that Coach Brohm took Purdue.... man that quick to forget after IU was the smart school to give Coach Cig the shot. I find it funny that MANY IU fans acting like every Purdue alum/Fan should just back the hoosiers because that is the right thing to do. Where was this same Energy when Zach Edey and 2 Sophomore guards led the team to National Championship game. Don't remember many of your ilk lining up supporting openly the mere possibility that Purdue could have won a Title on that night...... Lets see where these energies take us in March , fingers crossed I do but I believe you also spoke multi times about what the spread was each week and whether the Hoosier covered it or not I certainly hope they would: IU roster full of 23 Plus year olds beating up on a 1st year JV team that turned over 80 players in year 1. Not sure that is the flex you're hoping for there my friend. JUST IN THIS THREAD ALONE: As soon as the line came out, I said, -7.5, I WILL HAMMER THAT, because I thought it was easy money. 1. All you folks in here telling me how much that is easy money and no way they can stay with IU, many predictions of 3 to 4 Td victory around these parts. 2. My own eyes: IU Defense I thought would continue to make BECK useless (he was) 3. Disappointed in the IU OL that I was told was so dominant all year, they could run on anyone and all that.... but instead, they let Miami hang all game to the point where they could not hold on to the 10 point and extend it. SO IT GOES: Worse 3 day sports span in my adult lifetime I can remember.

McDaniel is at least entertaining to listen to in press conferences. His stories about Manziel were great. He had to be the one to tell the head coach that Manziel had ZERO minutes of time watching game film on his tablet.

Agreed....I read Pegula's comments, and wondered what it would be like to be a coach ultimately working for him. I'm guessing they will get a top coach because of Allen, but if Josh wasn't there, I would think twice as a head coach before working for him.

You are just bitter because your favorite university won't and will remain at the bottom of the Big 10. BTW, show me a top football school that doesn't spend. Regardless, IU sure had a better ROI than Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, USC and Penn State. Coach, take that frown and turn it upside down!!

For now he's Bobby Douglass. But he's still young.

I'm expecting him to be a perfect amalgamation of Tom Brady and Josh Allen.

Both teams were great if you had IU -2.5 and Miami +8.5!

Thanks for your responses.... 1. Disagree, because of your statement where you felt 8 or 9 at best, when they exceeded that, then you cannot say well NOW they have to get to Conf Champ game...... wouldn't that be moving the goalposts on expectations? IMO, you have a set expectations, if they achieve those, and exceed those, you cannot call the next goal that wasn't stated prior to that a failure. 2. How does where a team decides to play their games change the on field product? Their Organization is and will remain in Lake Forest IL

Payback….

Pretty “great”

Johnson is building a culture there. I can think of worse ways to set an example than shipping DJ out of town.

Wow!!

I’m out of kudos….so thumbs up for your post. My first game at Memorial Stadium was 1976, watching a tough loss to North Carolina State 24-21. I was in 7th grade. Never ever did I think this could happen in my wildest dreams. 16-0, National Champs, Big 10 Champs, Rose Bowl Champs, and Heisman Trophy winner. Don’t wake me up! I’m enjoying this dream!!!
