I'm not sure I follow? I don't think the Governor believes he can do a better job than an actual AD in identifying a talented coach. Rather, the premise of his rant was the financial irresponsibility of AD Woodward who fully guaranteed a $75million to a coach that he later fired 3.5 years later at the expense of Louisiana taxpayer dollars. I'd be shocked if the LA Governor actually hires the next coach. I do believe he will have a say in the written language of the contract however.

Forgot I was an "IU fan"? I'm an IU alumnus. What are you? I bet on different college football teams weekly that I'm neither a fan nor alumnus.

I'm sure he does like football, but when there's no acting university president and a state-funded public university is not only going pay a coach $53 million to make a coach go away, but then commit another $80-90 million to his replacement, the Governor is bound to get involved especially at the expense of taxpayer dollars.

Victory lap? We beat you last year and have a significantly better team this year. I enjoy beating teams with cheating programs and arrogant fan bases. You're on a board with primarily Indiana/Purdue/Notre Dame fans, why would any one fluff the Michigan Wolverines?

Selfishly want a rematch with Ohio State, but beating Michigan 35-10 at LOS would definitely bring a smile to my face.

I think it's the monetary and financial decisions that are driving his involvement.

LSU currently doesn't have an acting university president, that's why the Governor is particularly involved.

Shocked they opened up as nearly 2 TD favorites. I told my dad I thought it be around 3-4 points, he bet me it’d be around 7. Lost money before the game even started lol. In all honesty, this is going to be a tough game. Penn State is still a very talented group and has nothing to lose. Forecast shows cold and rainy, going to be a rock fight and I’m sure that’s the way PSU prefers it.

Purdue played hard, Michigan just isn’t very good. Underwood had one of the worst performances from a QB you’ll see. Glad he’s making $10+ million, don’t see Michigan’s staff developing him the next 2-3 years.

When you need to win 3, possibly 4 games in a row to be named national champions? Yes. IU’s top 22 guys are as good as anybody in the country. But IU simply does not have the luxury (yet) of depth that some of these other national title contenders. Fisher essentially missing these last two games and Sarratt leaving early yesterday with a hamstring injury is concerning. Get past Penn State next week and you have almost a month to get healthy before the B10 championship game.

Tough opponent next week for Cathedral, but feeling better about their chances.

Assuming no more set backs or new injuries Friday during Anderson, Cathedral will be as close to healthy as they can be in two weeks.

For Cathedral to beat New Pal, not only are they going to have to play lights out defensively, they might need to score as a unit or at the very least flip field position all night. Cathedral starting to run the ball better and Dangerfield is back (I think) but still to one dimensional to sustain lengthy drives.

There’s a billion different ways to compute a formula that takes into consideration W/L record, SOS, and opponents SOS and you can call it whatever you want. Every other state in the country has some kind of metric that determines seeding/qualification and none of them use Sagarin.

Why is that interesting? I’ve advocated for seeding (which ultimately leads to a qualifier) for over a decade.

Our zone coverage is very soft. Sparty line played pretty well giving the QB enough time to beat it.

Is Temp Gregg Doyel?

Yes. Seeding.

Because the NCAA is spineless (and powerless) in this era.

New Pal and Cathedral is probably the de facto state championship game and even that game might not be close. Cathedral extremely banged up right now but do believe they get a majority of those guys back for this potential matchup. If Cathedral can stay on schedule and not get behind the sticks, could have a decent ballgame on our hands. Team is not built to come from behind with its limited passing game, couple early scores and stops for New Pal could lead to an ugly outcome. Warren would mercy rule Muncie.

Cathedral was down 7 starters tonight and lost another during the game. Elder won the GCL South and is undefeated which means they’re probably a fringe top 25 team in the country.

Good win down 7 starters. An 8th went out on a vicious hit that looked borderline ejection worthy. Nice time for a bye and a tuneup game. Need to get healthy.

The NCAA not having a backbone doesn't negate the fact that Harbaugh is the most heavily penalized cheater in the history of the sport.

The NCAA is spineless. Tell me something we don't all know. Squeaky clean? The 14 year banishment your old ball coach just received says otherwise. Not too mention all the self-imposed suspensions spanning multiple seasons for multiple coaches. You cheated to win a title after being Ohio State's whipping boy for two decades. Congratulations. Now back to being a 2nd rate B10 school just as you have been for the better part if yours and my lifetime.

How many smug Notre Dame, Clemson, Penn State and Florida State fans post on here that defend a massive well-orchestrated cheating scandal from top to bottom? If they did, they'd get the same treatment.
