But then if you go back and look at who won each year over the past ten years, it's hard to say for certain that "yeah, IU would have beaten them." IU 2025 vs Michigan 2023 IU 2025 vs Ohio State 2024 Go down the list.............LSU, Clemson, Alabama. It's hard to say who would win any of those matchups head to head. But for now, who really cares. It's IU's turn to shine in the spotlight. Quote

Yeah...I have never really gotten into comparing like that....teams are different, competition is different, etc. A historic 16-0 season and the stats are incredibly impressive. To beat Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami all on neutral fields down the stretch is impressive, and I believe only Ohio State did they trail. But to say they are better than 2019 LSU, etc., is just so tough to claim. As you said, celebrate this season for what it is....for an IU fan, its a fantasy that actually came true! 1 Quote

About the only two national championship teams I put on a pedestal higher than any others is the '01 Hurricanes and '19 LSU team. Those two were, in my humble opinion, on a different level from other national champions. All other national champions, like you said, who cares where you rank, you are a national champion. 1 Quote

Saban and Howard nowhere to be found. Those 2 do not like a new entrant to the party. Howard simply takes up space on GameDay. Quote
Irishman Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Seeing so many schools running up huge debts, this is good to see. I am guessing the higher profile players coming in will result in smaller amounts for a surplus. 1 Quote

The article said IU distributed the maximum rev-share amount, so the players coming in won’t make any difference against the athletic department’s ledger. Quote

tango Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Saw that IU season tickets sold out the first day they became available to new purchasers. Added a $350 seat license this year. Pretty incredible stuff happening in Bloomington (if you ignore the basketball program)... 2 Quote
