temptation

PLENTY more. 1. How we feeling about Kirschner’s legacy? 2. What are some realistic expectations for Whitaker in year 1? 3. Head coaches who are also OC’s…what goes into that? How hard is it? Examples of those who have been/are successful in both roles? 4. Thoughts on Echeverria leaving Greenfield to be DC? See, unlike you, I can dive deeper into certain topics and promote discussion as opposed to creating division and hurling insults.

Lefty…confirmed.

Eh, my skin is pretty thick. Don’t give yourself too much credit. You’ve done in this very thread what I am accused of doing in other threads, which is “derailing” the thread. @PHJIrish is a grown man. If he is indeed 81, he’s seen more than all of us and can take care of himself. Doesn’t need some internet warriors telling him when he should/shouldn’t be offended. If a handful of WORDS can get a group of people this fired up, I can’t imagine how you are in real/every day life. Can we get this thread back on topic or we gonna whine some more?

If you say so boss. Don’t care how old anyone on here is. Maybe he has thicker skin than you do? If the “Titanic” comment really triggered you, perhaps you should get thicker skin. Ron acts like a prick to everyone on here and never gets lectured. Miss me with this nonsense.

Similar to how you throw a blanket over white southerners (“crackers”) he is insinuating that all lefties (like yourself) are the same. Not as much fun when the gun is pointing at you huh?

Making fun of whom? How in the hell am I supposed to know someone’s age on here? You seemed to get more “offended” by my post than he did which says something. Taking a deeper look, there are 25 topics on the main page and I have posted in 4 of them…”literally every thread” is nowhere close to accurate. What have YOU added to this current thread? Do you own a mirror?

Harbaugh does it again. Chargers en route to clinching a playoff berth. San Diego Stanford San Francisco Michigan Now the LA Chargers. Damn, Connor Stallions is good.

Nah, just seems juvenile to call someone whom you’ve never met names on an Internet forum, that’s all. You’ve never “seen” me. I may not like your posting style (and you might not like mine) but the tough guy/name calling nonsense is pretty weak on your part. At least Ron has the decency to put me on ignore (even though he removes it at times to throw jabs). Be better.

Working your way into the protected class on these boards I see. Why do you have to name call?

Bob is part of a protected class on here. They make the rules so they are allowed to break the rules. I’ve been privately reprimanded twice on this forum…once for posing a clip from “Revenge of the Nerds” and another for using the word “damn.” True story,

Yep, and the more you chase me around this board begging for my money, the less likely I am to donate.

No thanks Bobby. It’s pretty straightforward. Different sets of rules for different folks.

Breaking news: Titanic sinks

Got it. So basically the white guy equivalent of the N word. White folks can use it to describe other white folks just as black folks can use the N word to describe other black folks. Cool what’s now acceptable on this forum.

Also, the way you continue to discredit DeBoer while praising Cignetti is asinine.

There’s some truth to your point but I think you are focusing too much on “Indiana.” The Big Ten’s perception nationally is that it is inferior on the gridiron. This is for a variety of reasons… As much as it pains me to say this, even the Big Ten’s flagship program (Ohio State) has fallen flat on the big stage and often against programs from the southeast. Bowl game results (long before they became meaningless as they are today) are played in the southeast, giving a home field advantage to SEC teams and though I don’t have the data in front of me, I’d imagine the results are tipped in the SEC’s favor. The SEC is flashy and rarely is weather a factor in their contests, whereas the Big Ten’s “perception” is a slow, ground and pound league. Michigan broke through last year but until Midwest programs so do more often, this will be viewed as an anomaly.

Once again, I am not necessarily disagreeing. I am stating clearly that one of the reasons IU is being raked over the coals is that their arrogant head coach spoke out of his ass all season and even did so hours before the playoff game. You can’t puff your chest out, flex and then whine and play the victim when you lose and get exposed.

“Unjustly.” Had to “google it.” Just stop. Their coach wrote checks all season and then played not to lose in the biggest game of the year. Easy target.

Clemson actually led and pulled within one possession in the second half. IU was never in the game after the second drive.

Clemson/Texas was a fairly competitive game and IU/ND wasn’t. Final scores don’t tell the whole story.

Unpopular opinion, I don’t like using bowl results to assess conference strength, particularly in modern day bowl games where opt outs are aplenty. Just media talking points, same thing with the NCAA basketball tournament.

9-3 is the floor in 2025. C’mon. This isn’t Iowa.

Yeah, surprising for sure, especially considering Walters’ history as a defensive guy.

444th ranked prospect coming out of high school… My favorite play of his two year career…
