I'm not a gambling man, but I believe I would take IU and the 13 points.

And as far as Tuberville and other SEC loyalists, they seem to never look in the mirror.

OSU reportedly lost their starting center for the year in practice yesterday, FWIW.  Achilles.

Get the 13 now.

IU lost a very valuable OL player the week prior to Michigan.  One of the reasons Michigan got so much pressure the 2nd half.  I would call the losses even, but I'm guessing OSU has more OL depth.

Anyone read former Auburn head football coach and now Senator Tuberville's comments about IU going out and buying them a football team?

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/indiana-went-out-and-bought-them-a-football-team-says-sen-tommy-tuberville/

Guess with NIL, there is truth to that...but isn't his beloved SEC doing the same?  Heck, couldn't we argue some of the SEC schools have been doing this for a long time.

IU hired a coach away from a school in which a number of players followed.  Tuberville is whining because NIL was offered to players from such CFB "bluebloods" as James Madison, Wake Forest, Kent State, etc??

There may be a playoff...but the "establishment" is the same....and they are not eager to share a piece of the pie with a newcomer....to the point, a US senator, evidently lacking any higher priorities, need to get involved in the discussion?  

Definitely some people feel threatened........

 

Oh, the irony of this coming from someone who represents the state of Alabama in DC and used to coach at Auburn. You know, the same Auburn that very likely bought themselves a National Title if you believe the smoke surrounding them landing Cam Newton. 

Like you said, if anything, NIL has made life easier for the SEC. I remember heearing a story Ross Dellinger told on a podcast after he attended an Ole Miss NIL collective gathering last year. Multiple attendees were confused and asked if they were actually allowed to pay players now and didnd't have continue keeping it under the table.

Man, I brain-faded about Cam Newton.....makes Tuberville's comments even more pathetic!!

[Irishman]

Another first???? 😄

 

[PHJIrish]

A blocked punt has led to a Buckeye rout.  It's a shame, but the Hoosiers are turning the ball over way too much today.

[Irishman]

Solid defensive effort. The punt team killed them. I was hopeful they would have been more competitive. The final spread dims any hopes of making the playoff. 

 

and I forgot F**K ohio state

[Irishman]

Things that get lost in a disappointing game.

I was going to say the biggest prick in the Big 10, if not all of college football,  but douche will also work.

 

[PHJIrish]

With all the wannabes losing today, IU has a chance to make the playoffs.  They should have no problem with Purdue next week.  11-1 should be good enough, and a good half against a top ranked tOSU.

He was gifted with arguably the best program in America. He's not doing anything with his four and five star players that 200 other coaches couldn't do.................400 if you include high schools. There are 30+ coaches at least you would have won a national title by now with the talent he has on his roster. 

"Coach Day, why did you choose to run the ball into the endzone after Cignetti chose not to use his timeouts?" 

"We're Ohio State." Douche comment of the year. 

[Coach Nowlin]

So playing devil's advocate here: 

No problem of the Bravado shown by Coach CIG ( I am a fan as seen here) from the time he was hired all the way thru now, but if Ryan Day, says because we are OHIO STATE for the reason on scoring he is the bad guy here?    

There is NO DIFFERENCE in the 2 confident coaches from this game, unless you allow your bias to be the forefront of your comments about it.   

You may not like the individual personalities of Coach Day, but his comment is no different than "Google Me, I win " or the many other Coach Cig one liners and sound bites, the difference was the scoreboard was not on side of IU. 

And again, PLEASE give me ND vs IU round 1  !!!!

He didn’t have to punch it in at the end Coach. Cig wasn’t burning time outs. That was a choice. 
 

One coach is trying to build a culture with solid players and a previously lethargic fan base used to losing. The other coach was gifted keys to a Lamborghini without paying much of a price like Coach Cig to earn it.  Quite earnestly, he’s stalled that car on several occasions so for him to act as pompous as he does is laughable. 
 

Trying to compare them as coaches and actions…not with you Coach. That’s just the Purdue in you talking.

Off base here Coach. Comparing Day and Cignetti is laughable. Day arrived at Ohio State with pomp and circumstance, had every tool at his disposal, huge alumni support, 100,00 fans packing his stadium, 4 & 5 star recruits in bunches, just a ready made national title contender year in, year out. Cignetti comes to IU with probably with arguably the worst program in all of Power 5 conferences, no alumni support, an apathetic fan base with no positive history, 2 & 3 star recruits if he was lucky, just a terrible situation.

Day had a player that slid down to the ground at the 2 yard line with the outcome decided and he made the decision to still run a play after that for a touchdown. Total classless act by a piss poor coach. What goes around comes around and I really hope that IU sometime soon before Day is fired, gets some vengeance

Then I guess GET BETTER OR GET USED TO IT right??    

These are PAID athletes and HIGHLY PAID coaches.   

Isn't it IU job to stop them?    

That is what playing with the big boys of college football is.   Perhaps, Coach Day was sending a message to what he is perceiving as the yapping Yorky dog, and telling IU that they are not on their level, try again.   

Call it classless, your perspective

Maybe,, just maybe, the coaches of the B10 may also have thought that Coach Cig comments were not earned yet, so Coach Day said to himself, I am going to remind this guy and his program he has a ways to go to catch this Lambo......

It's competitive, VERY HIGHLY competitive college football (semi pro) game played by MEN.    

 

[Coach Nowlin]

Bottom line; 

Everyone EXCEPT IU fanbase (which is cool with their enthusiasm, and I dig it) thought that OSU was going to cover that 10.5 and control the game.    OSU did just that, exposed IU weak Punt team and capitalized big time and won the game 38-15.   I believe there was an intentional message sent, but IU was pulling the we are still being disrespected card all week long.    When you talk, then you don't walk, be prepared for a touchdown to be punched in or other verbal jabs coming from OSU staff.    

It's what Big Time Semi Pro ( I mean college football) has become, it's been this way in the SEC for years.

ok...so we are going to play the "Man" card....sportsmanship be damned.  His player slid down at the 1 yard line.  Game was well in hand....opposing coach not taking his timeouts...so it was clear that he had conceded.  

Yapping "Yorkie" dog...The Purdue in these comments are apparent.  

BTW...according to the analysts. IU wasn't that far off.  Held OSU to a season low in yardage gained...and that includes the big run at the end.  IU was beaten from by errors made by the punt team, and the failure to adjust to the rush..naming blitz packages.  They will learn from this game and we shall see how things develop over the years.  You call it a yapping dog...I call it a coach trying to flip the culture.  And the culture and program at IU is headed in the right direction.  Sorry we can say the same about Purdue.  But I do understand your bitterness.

 

[Coach Nowlin]

Assume to much my friend 

 

These are all things I consumed all week long from local to national media going into the game.  

I didn't say IU was that far off, I have CONSISTENTLY been supporting Coach Cig and IU season and turnaround.   

The Yappy Yorky has ZERO to do with my alma mater, again, for now the 3rd time, it was all over the weekly lead up across the college football landscape, the sentiment, Big Dog (OSU) vs Little Dog (IU).  It's not that hard to see this all week long.  

Why do you keep bringing up Purdue to try to some how get my goat ( shout out to Momma Nowlin) it has ZERO to do with me or my MULTIPLE positive comments I have made all year long about IU and Coach Cig.   Try something else my friend.

So is Sean Payton wrong for what he did against Carolina ?    Again , you are PAID ATHLETES and VERY highly PAID coaches.  it's your job to stop them.   This is not youth football, this is PAID athletes playing the game of football at what they are still calling College football.  IU could have stopped them but they didn't .   Wouldn't that have sent a strong message??

So his running back, who apparently has some class to him, slid to the ground on his own yet Day decides to run another play after that to score the TD. What does that say about his RB? What does that say about Day? Two very different scenarios

[Coach Nowlin]

More than fair to have that sentiment @Komets2727    

Welcome to big time college football. 

This scenario is not something that just randomly happened to IU.   

Should Sean Payton face the same criticism by you IU folk upset at Coach Day?
