Looked pretty darn good yesterday. My wife even stated that the Bears are getting better.

Wasn't it Belichick that "used to forget" to put the tarp on the field and leave it nice and frozen for opposing teams with speed??

Small manhood? Those words or intentions not used at all. That feeling should remain between you and your therapist. Bragging? Not at all...just simply indicated that I played. If you had, perhaps your perspectives and comments would be different on a football forum. His record against top 10 team is impressive. That was an excellent game and win on the road.

Nope...I wasn't 5'8" and 160lbs....er, guessing your HS weight more about 120lbs. I actually played HS football....but I guess bringing in fresh towels did make you part of the team.

Indiana up to number 2 in both the AP and coaches poll with the Miami loss at home to Louisville this weekend. Georia Tech and Vandy also both in the top 10. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2025/10/indiana-football-ap-poll-number-2 https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/coaches-poll-top-25-miami-tumbles-as-vanderbilt-georgia-tech-rise-in-week-9-college-football-rankings/

Harbaugh and Temp together...at an "embellished" 5'8", we definitely know which one is Temp.

Wasting your breath and time. This is who you are trying to reason with using logic and fact.

The impact of UM rules violations are more than defined in the NCAA press release, which I’m sure you haven’t read and digested. Had this been Ohio State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Bama, Georgia, etc., you would never let it go about their cheating and we all know it. Again, providing the NCAA Michigan football rules violations press release. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/8/15/media-center-overwhelming-evidence-shows-impermissible-scouting-scheme-in-michigan-football-program.aspx

The NCAA of today has very little power with the Power 4 conference teams. Michigan chose a great time to violate rules. Temp knows that and the the actions of UM are not defendable. Thats why he deflects, laughs, scoffs at another team, etc. But, he will never step up and admit UM was wrong in their actions. That’s just not in his DNA.

Beyond incredible

Cristobal looked confused during last few minutes. But the 4 Beck picks were killers. Especially the last one when Miami was in FG range with 30 seconds left. Agree about Brohm. He had an extra week to prepare and he had thst team ready!!

Actually increased significantly from last year to this season. My buddy has a suite and the cost went up $10K this season from last.

Cig is pushing a stadium capacity increase with a 2nd deck on the visitor's side (side next to Assembly Hall) and a new modern press box. He will get it. The school needs to figure out parking. Parking currently can cost more than the game ticket.

this is huge!!!!! Go Hoosiers! Great raise as well!

You are simply blind and ignorant because you choose to be. Obviously, you will justify anything to win. But hey, that's your character....not mine. I sent you the article about the infractions from Sports Illustrated...you simply made fun of the source. I sent you the listing of Michigan football infractions from the NCAA press release. You conveniently chose not to comment, because anything you would have said there would have simply buried you further down. At the end of the day, Michigan cheated and was caught. You can deflect all you want and throw negatives at other programs. It doesn't change the fact that your program was caught cheating....and you know it. While you can attempt, you cannot change this fact. Accept it like a man and move on.....

Brass spittoon for MSU Why? IU doesn't cheat at football. Shame the Michigan program under Harbaugh thought that was a needed option.

Never knew that about Illinois and MSU....learn something every day.....🙄 Cheaters get trash talked....and deservingly so. Glad you were smart enough to stop pushing your "squeaky clean" comment after reading the NCAA statement about the Wolverine football rules violations.

Deflecting Michigan's sins...... Can't one do both...celebrate a season of a program's success while pointing out the scandals and cheating at another institution?

Squeaky clean......🤪 Delusional Direct from NCAA. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/8/15/media-center-overwhelming-evidence-shows-impermissible-scouting-scheme-in-michigan-football-program.aspx Over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, in-person scouting scheme, impermissible recruiting inducements and communications, head coach responsibility rules, individuals' failures to cooperate and Michigan's failure to monitor, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. The scouting violations orchestrated by former football staff member Connor Stalions were corroborated by interview testimonies, ticket receipts and transfer data and other evidence. Those violations, along with former head football coach Jim Harbaugh's head coach responsibility violation and most of the failure to cooperate violations, are Level I. The recruiting violations, then-assistant football coach (and current head football coach) Sherrone Moore's failure to cooperate violation and Michigan's failure to monitor violation are Level II. Two involved individuals — former assistant football coaches Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale — agreed to violations and penalties associated with their actions in agreements approved by the committee via the negotiated resolution process.

Delusional....guess in your case, ignorance is bliss..... https://www.si.com/college-football/ncaa-hammers-michigan-jim-harbaugh-most-penalized-cheater-connor-stalions Friday, six years and a national championship removed from his time looking down on the rule breakers in college football, Harbaugh officially became one of the most-penalized cheaters in the sport’s history. The NCAA Committee on Infractions ruled that Harbaugh committed major rules violations and delivered a 10-year show-cause penalty to the former coach of the Wolverines in the Connor Stalions affair, one of the more bizarre capers in college football annals. But that 10-year sanction doesn’t even take effect until after Harbaugh’s current four-year show-cause penalty expires for a different set of rules violations. Thus Harbaugh is facing show-cause rulings that would make him difficult to hire as a college coach prior to Aug. 7, 2038. Jeremy Pruitt, Kelvin Sampson and Bruce Pearl look like Ivy Leaguers compared to Harbs. “Harbaugh ran a program that was largely dismissive of rules compliance,” the COI infractions report stated. “There was little, if any, emphasis on following the rules. To the contrary, his program saw compliance as the enemy, made their own decisions regarding interpreting rules to their benefit, or outright committed rules violations.”

Hey YG....no disagreement with your thoughts. I was just thinking about the blue blood comment...and agree IU isn't a blue blood at this time in football. But as we all know, most if all blue bloods today didn't start out as blue bloods, and it took a coach to get the ball rolling, change the culture and move them into blue blood status. I also think that blue blood status can also be lost. (over time) When it comes to Franklin, I am not sure how I feel. Definitely a good coach....but is he elite? As an IU fan, before Cignetti would have jumped over the moon if they got Franklin....now, admittedly I am spoiled.

ok...that's fair....much of the AI stuff I ran listed him as an "up and comer"....this Star article seems to align with your thoughts more as well as this 257 article. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2021/03/26/indiana-basketball-looking-back-when-bob-knight-hired-iu-hoosiers-history/6996601002/ https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/knight-time-in-an-unruly-era-indiana-basketball-looked-for-a-disciplinarian-and-found-a-legend-in-bob-knight-219346470/ It would be fair that Knight took IU to another level....a true blue blood program during his regime.

I am going to politely disagree Irish. Go look at at USC and OSU's records before McKay and Woody....definitely not programs of dominance. Had some solid seasons, but nothing like they had after their arrivals. Could say the exact same of Penn State before Paterno. If IU was truly a blue blood before Knight, then why did IU select a relatively unknown youngster with very little coaching experience from Army?
