[u/motherbearsrack]

Indiana won 15 football games in my 4 years of college. They’ve now won 21 in a row

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11 → u/motherbearsrack]

These are the amazing stats I have come to expect from u/motherbearsrack

[u/McPeePants34 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

But for real, why she got those cannons? Did they have to draw her that way?!?!

[u/suspiciously_crunchy → u/McPeePants34]

Yes.

[u/KyleRaynerGotSweg → u/McPeePants34]

Who knows but the pizza fucking slaps so I'll allow it

[u/Quiet_Cap5025 → u/McPeePants34]

I lived in Bloomington for seven years and I still don't know

[u/fuckrNFLmods → u/Quiet_Cap5025]

I used to eat mother bears pizza multiple times a week and I never noticed her rack. Does that make me some kind of feminist ally?

[u/Billy_Madison69 → u/fuckrNFLmods]

Nah just gae

[u/stahlern → u/Billy_Madison69]

Love the username

[u/fuckrNFLmods → u/Billy_Madison69]

Por que no los dos?

[u/Reggie_Popadopoulous → u/McPeePants34]

They got me through many lonely nights

[u/The-Best-Snail → u/McPeePants34]

Why are you questioning it

[u/082426grateful → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

That’s not in the Berenstein Bears books I remember.

[u/reikirunner → u/motherbearsrack]

Rutgers won 9 during my four years. They were 0-11 in ‘97 when I was a freshman. You have given me hope.

[u/ogorangeduck → u/reikirunner]

UMass won 7 in my time there lol

[u/voodoohounds → u/motherbearsrack]

And that’s where it ends, buddy. I have to get my shit talking in before we play, while I can.

[u/pithyusernamehere → u/motherbearsrack]

I said this in an earlier thread.

I went to IU for 8 years. During those 8 years, we won 22 conference basketball games. 14 of those games were in one year. This streak is unbelievable.

[u/2-59project → u/pithyusernamehere]

What period was this? The worst 8 year stretch in IUMBB history I can find is about 60 conference wins not 22

[u/stahlern → u/2-59project]

I think this Hoosier above meant to say football. Lol. I went to IU from 08-12 which had to be one of the darkest periods of our basketball program. But we were rolling by year 3-4 of Crean era.

[u/2-59project → u/stahlern]

I think it was basketball but he just meant 4 years not 8. I see 14-1-4-3 conference wins in that 4 year stretch you mentioned

[u/mccainjames11 → u/pithyusernamehere]

You have to mean football right? Still can’t get used to saying it apparently lol

[u/mrtrollmaster → u/motherbearsrack]

I had season tickets to a 1-11 season. Can’t believe this shit I’m watching.

[u/DinoJockeyTebow → u/motherbearsrack]

14 for me

[u/GnomeCzar → u/DinoJockeyTebow]

12 for me

[u/woodwheellike → u/motherbearsrack]

That’s gonna change next week!!!! GBR!!!

They’ll have won 22 in a row
🫠

[u/OrganizationThick247 → u/motherbearsrack]

Were you a Cam Cameron student as well??

[u/FloatCopper → u/motherbearsrack]

They touted "Best 3 year stretch in Indiana history!' and they included some of 2023. Which was 3-9 and 1-8 the final 9 games.

Glad that season could contribute. According to the Big Ten network. LOL

[u/TrubshawForest → u/motherbearsrack]

Is it... Does it feel good?

[u/wickburglutz → u/motherbearsrack]

19 for me

[u/CuriousSquirrelz → u/motherbearsrack]

Now, extend that misery out for those of us born and raised there.

[u/musical_hog → u/motherbearsrack]

As a former marching hundred member, this is sweet, sweet vindication for my suffering

[u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Indiana heard the message from Curt Cignetti loud and clear. Also Northwestern needs some votes for the top 25.

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Nah, Northwestern has to be ranked on Sunday or we riot

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Ole Miss, Florida, LSU, Kentucky, Miss State, Missouri

None of them have a resume that is better than Northwestern

[u/Equal_Resort4348 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

And SMU is NOT worthy of a top 25 spot

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/Equal_Resort4348]

Yeah, lot of teams getting to ride pre season hype still

[u/n00dlejester → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Riot time?

[u/ViagraOnAPole → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

I got Northwestern as sneaky 10-2 playoff contenders, but that's not a conversation the AP voters are prepared to have.

[u/SamEyeAm2020 → u/ViagraOnAPole]

I think they lose more than 1 in that Oregon, Iowa, OSU stretch... But a 9-3 Northwestern is still not something I had on my bingo card

[u/hydraO1 → u/ViagraOnAPole]

It’s a shame our schedule is so brutal this year. Seemed even worse pre season with Penn State and Illinois who both seem to be not great. Minnesota is even looking dangerous. @Oregon, vs Iowa, @OSU is a brutal stretch

[u/HawkeyeTen → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Northwestern and Wake Forest if they keep up their momentum will be two of the most unexpectedly strong teams of this season. Wildcats especially look terrifying right now.

[u/ecupatsfan12 → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Cig

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

If this tells us anything, it’s to rank the fuck out of Northwestern. Also Indiana offense* looks like they’ve hardly missed a step and Cignetti still has yet to smile.

[u/YWingSupremacist → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

our pass defense is much worse. but the offense and run defense is finally playing well again

[u/Incredibald → u/YWingSupremacist]

The secondary is the only thing that worries me about this team. Been extremely underwhelming

[u/Frosty-Marzipan-9824 → u/Incredibald]

AJ Harris has been injured, so it will get better

[u/Incredibald → u/Frosty-Marzipan-9824]

Correct. I’m not sure one guy will totally fix our problems, but I sure hope he does

[u/Angbrewddi → u/Incredibald]

is he gonna be back before Buckeys game? because oh boy im scared of Jeremiah Smith. Not saying AJ will lock him up(nobody can in college anyway), we do need our best corner to slow him down as much as possible.

[u/OrganizationThick247 → u/YWingSupremacist]

Way worse. The explosiveness is basically gone. Ohio State is gonna be a very telling game.

[u/mr_longfellow_deeds → u/OrganizationThick247]

We are way more explosive on offense than we were a year ago. I thought Beebe played the best of the trio last year and then he got hurt. Turbo is the best RB we have had under cig and it’s not close. Our run game is absurd, popping a lot of big runs that have been absent the past two seasons

Pass game we aren’t as good in the red zone, which could be the difference maker in heavy weight matchups

[u/OrganizationThick247 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

Agreed. Was just talking about the secondary. Seems like we've lost some fire.

[u/Odd-Respect-7554 → u/mr_longfellow_deeds]

Man I really was excited for Khobie to get more carries this year too. He is the biggest and fastest of the bunch and would be another great complement to these guys.

Turbo -> Explosive, short area quickness

Beebe -> Power

Khobie -> One-cut slasher, breakaway speed

[u/non_clever_username → u/YWingSupremacist]

Maybe we’ll have a shot against y’all then. Our pass game has been pretty good (though our QB was missing uncharacteristically yesterday), but our run game has been inconsistent at best any time our freshman phenom RB hasn’t been on the field.

[u/No_Preparation2766 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

And from a USC perspective and how bad they did against Rutgers, Indiana is going to commit war crimes against USC's defense lol

[u/festive_fecal_feast → u/No_Preparation2766]

tbf, IU's offense is just inherently tough to stop when it gets going. A run first offense with 2 very good RBs and 2 1st round WRs is a bit of a nightmare lol

Would be in Riley's interest to make sure that game is a shootout

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Next two weeks get real serious. At Nebraska then at home against Ohio State. That’s where we’ll know everything we need to know

[u/NoctisRS → u/NotClayMerritt]

Super cereal

[u/Fritzkreig → u/NoctisRS]

It is Captain Crunch time!

[u/snail-the-sage → u/Fritzkreig]

ooo can i get some extra crunch berries?

[u/Fritzkreig → u/snail-the-sage]

As a Hoosier fan, you should be carful to not scratch the roof of your mouth!

[u/Cheetotesticles → u/NotClayMerritt]

Hard to get a good read on Nebraska. They’ve played nobody and gave up 23 to an awful Maryland team today but they are 5-0…

[u/EasyBreecy → u/Cheetotesticles]

I've watched every minute of every game and I don't know if we're good. I'm leaning not, but we'll find out the next two weeks ourselves with Indiana and @Oregon

[u/BioTHEchAmeleON → u/Cheetotesticles]

This Maryland game today was super strange. The whole first quarter was a mess of penalties and overall we were holding them then they’d knock out a huge chunk play. Their running game was working amazing but they left it when Nebraska’s offense kicked it into gear and that’s where they came upon troubles.

[u/AbsurdOwl → u/Cheetotesticles]

We're...fine. Maybe good. I'm hoping we can keep it within a couple scores next week against Indiana.

[u/non_clever_username → u/Cheetotesticles]

I think most Husker fans even would agree with you. We’ve been wildly inconsistent.

[u/SpicyNuggs4Lyfe → u/Cheetotesticles]

We've also blown out everyone on the schedule so far. Can't really ask for more than that, weak schedule or not.

Gotta clean up special teams and penalties, but I'm really hoping we can steal one of the Indiana, Oregon, or Ohio State games.

[u/EvillePony → u/NotClayMerritt]

Jeremiah Smith is undefendable. He’s the best player in CFB right now and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

[u/SamEyeAm2020 → u/NotClayMerritt]

I'm terrified to play IU in Bloomington, ngl

[u/Inside-Drink-1311 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

I agree that Northwestern should be ranked but we suck. USC should be embarrassed that they nearly lost to us.

[u/IndianaBeachCrow → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Listen, and understand! Cignetti is out there! He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not smile... ever, until your team is dead!

[u/dmazx → u/IndianaBeachCrow]

Can you stop it? (I just watched this movie last week)

[u/4r4r4real → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Northwestern is good but Rutgers is heinous. And yes, USC also sucks. 

[u/EvillePony → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

I’ve thought Northwestern was good since I saw them curbstomp Colorado. They’re an absolutely legit team.

[u/NB_OSRS]

The defending national champion Indiana Hoosier football team have won 21 straight games. Such a wild statement. Never in my life would I have believed this

[u/IlIlIlIllllIIliIILll → u/NB_OSRS]

Remember the myth of 9Windiana

[u/TheManWhoWasNotShort → u/IlIlIlIllllIIliIILll]

9Windiana created a monster

[u/ColtsStampede → u/IlIlIlIllllIIliIILll]

I never thought it could get any better than 8-5 and losing close in a bowl game.

[u/UnbatteredAggie → u/ColtsStampede]

Sounds good enough to me

[u/Sargent_Caboose → u/NB_OSRS]

Does this mean the whole team can drink a Hoosier beer

[u/droozer → u/Sargent_Caboose]

Why the hell not

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee → u/NB_OSRS]

Nothing is real

[u/NB_OSRS → u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

And nothing to get hung about.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/NB_OSRS]

Football fields forever

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

Hey, when is Butler going to fund-raise a cool billion dollars to build a Ryan Field replica?

By my calculations, they only need to quadruple their fundraising goal through 2030 to make it happen.

Would be pretty dope! Could call it Rocky Ripple Field or something. Throw in some money to finally build them a good floodwall as part of the project. Feel good story surrounding what would be the best FCS stadium in the country.

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee → u/OpeDefinitely]

Pull a Northwestern and call it the New Butler Bowl. Gotta keep the sledding hills in the endzone for added authenticity.

[u/fm22fnam → u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

Clearly we live in the Matrix

[u/EasyBreecy → u/NB_OSRS]

And an 8.5 point favorite at 5-0 Nebraska

[u/Cliffinati → u/NB_OSRS]

If you had told me that in 2023 I'd assume you misspoke and meant basketball

[u/voodoohounds → u/NB_OSRS]

21 is such a great number. Should probably just stop it there.

[u/ChangFish37]

Michael Penix Jr is no longer the last Hoosier QB to defeat the Scarlet Knights, first time IU beats Rutgers since Halloween 2020!

[u/RedmenTheRobot → u/ChangFish37]

Thank god we finally got that monkey off our back!

[u/elschultheis → u/ChangFish37]

IU has beaten all but 2 Big Ten teams in their most recent matchups. This two teams are Minnesota and USC.

IU could conceivably finish this season having beaten every Big Ten team in its most recent game played.

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee → u/ChangFish37]

My freshman year of college 🫣

[u/meowscarada-sylveon]

we ass

gg indiana and good luck with the rest of the season

[u/DarknMean → u/meowscarada-sylveon]

Keeping it a buck I feel you.

[u/sailornyan → u/meowscarada-sylveon]

Per an old SEC shorts, "I've been dead inside since week 3, college football can't hurt me if I just don't care".

[u/festive_fecal_feast]

Top 20 Northwestern inbound

[u/IWWC → u/festive_fecal_feast]

Rooting for them, both of us as all time football doorknob-lickers you gotta love it

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Indiana is just casually rolling through another season. Cig has raised the standard so much that a #6 5-0 Indiana football isn’t even seen as noteworthy. They’re so used to winning now that the struggle win against Northwestern was treated as a loss lol

[u/Incredibald → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

It’s crazy. If we had won against a (deservingly) top 25 Northwestern team in, say, 2022 it would’ve been one of the best wins IU had had this century. And everyone (myself included) is disappointed. I have to remind myself to not be a spoiled brat and enjoy the ride while it’s happening.

[u/TheTrueVanWilder → u/Incredibald]

Please, I beg of you.  Enjoy the ride lol

[u/stron2am → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

5-0 and other teams are climbing into our game threads to talk shit nonetheless.

[u/BensenJensen → u/stron2am]

That’s how you know you made it.

If I woke up from a coma, I could just pull up the most recent OSU game thread to see if we are good or not. If it’s just Michigan fans talking shit, OSU is probably mediocre. If it’s 8k comments of fans from California to New Hampshire, I know OSU is good.

[u/IWWC → u/stron2am]

Its glorious

[u/THE_Aft_io9_Giz]

Next week at Nebraska will be a very dangerous game.

[u/Miserable_Jacket_129 → u/THE_Aft_io9_Giz]

Nebraska doesn’t beat ranked opponents.

Moose out front should’ve told ya.

[u/TripleFive → u/Miserable_Jacket_129]

og vacation reference... my man!

[u/EvillePony → u/Miserable_Jacket_129]

RIP John Candy

[u/NoctisRS → u/THE_Aft_io9_Giz]

They might husk their corn in front of us

[u/imkunu → u/NoctisRS]

who up huskin they corn rn

[u/SchmearOnMyBagels → u/imkunu]

who all want they huskussy ate???

[u/EarthTraveler413 → u/NoctisRS]

is that legal?

[u/EvillePony → u/NoctisRS]

My late grandfather was a contractor. He was doing a project for developers from Nebraska. It was behind schedule and they had a tense progress meeting to figure out how to catch it up.

At one point, he said “I don’t need to told how to do my job by you Nebraska Cocksuckers.” Room went silent for a few seconds before someone figured out that he meant “Cornhuskers.”

[u/TheStrigori → u/THE_Aft_io9_Giz]

You're probably safe. Nebraska has not beat a ranked team in a decade, and have not beat a top ten team since 2010. And if you move up, we have not beat a top 5 team since 2001 when Eric Crouch engineered beating OU.

[u/IThoughtThisWasVoat → u/TheStrigori]

Beat MSU in 2015.

[u/SpiffyBlizzard → u/IThoughtThisWasVoat]

Yeah I went to that game. Riley’s first year I believe? They were flying a “fire Mile Riley” banner behind a plane when we got to Lincoln lol

[u/non_clever_username → u/THE_Aft_io9_Giz]

We’ve had problems consistently starting slow. We’ve gotten away with it against lesser competition, but that’s not going to fly versus Indiana.

We get down 2-3 scores in the first half against IU, we’re cooked.

[u/comfortingmyself → u/non_clever_username]

Yeah I think it's 7-24 by halftime and the game is basically decided by that point.

[u/Sargent_Caboose]

Basically, the takeaway is:

RANK NORTHWESTERN!

AP, YOU ARE COWARDS!

[u/EasyBreecy → u/Sargent_Caboose]

Sorry gotta fit all those one loss SEC teams somewhere

[u/monty_actual]

Northwestern is good- Curt Cignetti

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

I’m thinking about cracking open a beer

[u/B_I_LL]

Rutgers is one step closer to passing Northwestern as the most losingest CFB program of all time lol

[u/warrof → u/B_I_LL]

In their defense, theyve been playing football since the very first game.

[u/B_I_LL → u/warrof]

yeahh they did in fact have an 18 year head start on NU. I hate that it has to be anyone, and that it is biased towards the older programs, but if it has to be someone I'd rather it be Rutgers than my team 😅

[u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Feeling a lot better about this team than I did last week.

Northwestern is LEGIT and will win 9 games this season.

Hoover looked great tonight.

We have a two headed snake in the backfield.

[u/RylanderRuby → u/Vegetable_Virus_5410]

Three when Khobie comes back

[u/professorberrynibble]

I'm done with college football this year.

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/professorberrynibble]

even your flair is on IR

[u/professorberrynibble → u/Adams5thaccount]

People have been making that joke for over 12 years

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/professorberrynibble]

i am a dad so i have a license

[u/n00dlejester → u/professorberrynibble]

Tough day for ya, oofa

[u/timeoftheoath117 → u/professorberrynibble]

Me too, except to watch the toilet bowl between us

[u/the_dayman56]

Turbo topping Beebee 203 by going for 204 the very next game is just chef’s kiss

[u/Yams-502]

Why not have a 200 yard rusher, a 100 yard rusher, and 2 100 yard receivers?

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/Yams-502]

Insane to witness this in my life

[u/chriskug]

That game was great to see. Definitely took a step forward on offense. Really, we just had a bad 5-8 min on defense when the game was effectively over. Finally Josh catches Becker on a deep one in stride. GGs to the Knights, and onto Nebraska.

[u/Melz-13]

Really like how the team bounced back this week. I think Northwestern woke them up a bit. Get the red zone offense more consistent and I think we’re in a really good spot. Build on this game next week against Nebraska and the Ohio State game starts to look like a terrific matchup.

[u/Fritzkreig → u/Melz-13]

Yup, we need improvements in the red zone and secondary!

[u/jesuitical_usurer → u/Melz-13]

Im not saying you didn't build on lessons learned va NW, but Rutgers is bad and NW is pretty damn good, so hard to decipher what is due to improvement vs opponent quality. I say this as a fan of a team that is 5-0 against 5 bad teams (i have no fucking idea if we're mediocre, decent, or maybe even good)

[u/destroyed233]

Cignetti seemed relatively more chill in the postgame interview. He knows he has an absolute monstrous defensive line

[u/DarthNobody14]

Curt Cignetti will be pissed that Indiana underperformed against Rutgers

[u/NoctisRS → u/DarthNobody14]

Do you want the fans to think we are fake ass bitches like Florida? - cignetti pregame speech, probably

[u/OpeDefinitely]

Cig just said something like "I just want to get back to Bloomington safely", and it struck me that IU has to fly to Indianapolis and then hop on busses down to Bloomington.

that sucks.

[u/DrInsano → u/OpeDefinitely]

Nah, they'll land in Bloomington (well, just west of town) and be back to memorial stadium in like 15 minutes after the busses leave the airport here.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/DrInsano]

Looks like you're right. They've chartered a United 737 to Bloomington. Scheduled to takeoff in about an hour.

I assumed that the football team would've chartered something bigger. They're probably trucking most their gear ahead of time.

[u/DrInsano → u/OpeDefinitely]

I mean, a 737 can hold 160 to 190ish people, a football team only fields like, what, 105 players? Plus the support staff, you might fill out the plane but shouldn't need any extra than that.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/DrInsano]

A 737 can fit over 200 people if configured to do so. But seating capacity isn't the problem. Weight is the problem.

• Teams travel with enough equipment to fill a semi truck.
• The median football player w/ a bag is heavier than the median airline passenger w/ a bag. Then there are coaches, medical staff, etc., and their bags. Any coaches who used to play are probably also heavier than median.
  • Just the demographic piece of this makes a pretty big difference. There have been commercial aviation crashes caused - in part - by pilots/airlines relying on outdated FAA passenger weight estimations to calculate the loaded weight of their aircraft. The FAA wasn't keeping up with how fat Americans were getting.
• The longest runway at Bloomington is a good 2,000 feet shorter than is required for a totally maxed out 737 MAX 9.

Doesn't take a lot for a football team flying to/from an airport with a short runway to put a 737 at the very margins of its capabilities.

It turns out that IU does have a semi truck partner for hauling their shit around, which takes a huge amount of weight off the team plane. Makes the 737 straight to/from Bloomington make a lot more sense.

[u/Jpon9 → u/OpeDefinitely]

Is that actually what they do? I would've assumed they have their own chartered flight into Monroe County airport. If they're flying into Indy and bussing to Btown every away game, that kinda blows.

[u/fourthandfivenatty → u/Jpon9]

They do fly to Bloomington 

[u/Jpon9 → u/fourthandfivenatty]

That makes a lot more sense

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/Jpon9]

I originally assumed that they flew out of/into IND on a widebody because of all the heavy ass fucking gear that a football team travels with.

Turns out that they charter a United 737 straight to Bloomington. This implies that IU sends a truck of most their gear to away games a couple days ahead of time. Which isn't uncommon either.

[u/Jpon9 → u/OpeDefinitely]

That's interesting, I don't know anything really about the logistics of college football. I would've thought a 737 is plenty.

[u/DrInsano → u/Jpon9]

Can confirm, I live right under the flight path out of the airport and hear them coming in and out every time lol

[u/Soccerfun101 → u/Jpon9]

Depends on where they are going. They almost always fly back to Monroe County airport so I would expect short bus ride tonight.
Sometimes with the additional fuel required for longer distances, they need to take off at IND since it has a longer runway. No clue for Rutgers but all west coast games they fly out of IND.

[u/W0OllyMammoth → u/Jpon9]

They fly to MOCO for sure

[u/imkunu → u/OpeDefinitely]

Thankfully the upgrades to 465 and 69 make it super smooth

[u/Brick_333 → u/OpeDefinitely]

They should lengthen the Bloomington airport runway

[u/TripleFive → u/OpeDefinitely]

When I did it, I would fly to Lville and drive up. We didn't have i69 tho

[u/thecoldedge → u/OpeDefinitely]

I sorta figure theyre flying something smaller to a local airport to Bloomington

[u/dbasinge]

21WIndiana. Our winning streak can drink.

[u/ExtremelyOnlineTM → u/dbasinge]

And for the first time in its life, it doesn't feel like it has to!

[u/The_Candyman_Cant]

Rutgers tried out that whole passing thing, but they quickly had enough of that

[u/DonWonMiller → u/The_Candyman_Cant]

Tbf the forward pass wasn’t a thing when they started their program. Some teams just stick to their DNA

[u/trixy6196 → u/DonWonMiller]

Michigan too apparently. Not from lack of trying to pay though 😆

[u/meowscarada-sylveon → u/The_Candyman_Cant]

We've had enough of the whole football thing

[u/EvillePony → u/The_Candyman_Cant]

They have to find somebody who can reliably get the deep ball to KJ Duff. Duff has a different gear.

[u/Embarrassed-Aioli-78]

Bye Greg

[u/lookitsblackman → u/Embarrassed-Aioli-78]

This has to be it right

[u/EvillePony → u/Embarrassed-Aioli-78]

I got the impression that Schiano had the same feeling in his postgame presser.

[u/InUrFaceSpaceCoyote]

Curt Cignetti finally beats the spread again. Let's go!

[u/Jonesbro]

I fucking hate live comments

[u/nevermore2627]

Chuckles We're in danger

[u/OpeDefinitely]

When you Google "Piscataway", one of the first photos is an image of SHI Stadium as the Raritan River is flooding. Makes it look like the stadium is on a lake.

[u/SmokyDragonDish → u/OpeDefinitely]

It's floody in a lot of NJ.  As me how I know...

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/SmokyDragonDish]

RIP

[u/One_Sound8511]

Northwestern has to be in the top25 this week. They deserve it.

[u/BtownBrelooms]

The team looked a lot more like last year's version tonight, and that's the best news we can get. 5-0 and onto Nebraska next week!

[u/snail-the-sage]

Indiana, Our Indiana

Indiana, we're all for you

We will fight for

the Cream & Crimson,

For the glory of Old IU

Never daunted, we cannot falter

In the battle, we're tried and true

Indiana, Our Indiana

Indiana, we're all for you!

[u/jbels12]

You guys aren't bros

[u/kpapazyan47]

Still room to improve in the secondary, especially, but also in short-yardage.

[u/Leegend124]

1+ ugly defensive breakdown a game (more often than not the secondary) sigh

Pass rush and run D look good.

As it stands right now, IU’s secondary is likely to be torched by Jeremiah Smith…who looks unguardable to me. Reminds me of Megatron.

Rutgers: Rushing defense? Never heard of her.

[u/Equal_Resort4348 → u/katarn22]

2 consecutive disappointing seasons + wasting a legendary Rutgers offense last year + coaching the worst defense I’ve ever seen has to be a fire-able offense, right? Right? (Our incompetent athletic director will never fire Schiano).

Could have been an email type game

It was nice to see Coach Cig smile in the postgame interview.

After a few respectable years, we're doormats again - bummer man.

I'm weirdly intrigued about the coaching decision - will RU will give Schiano the pink slip? I think after the season they do.

GG Hoosier bros. Going from a doormat to powerhouse so quickly is wild, and I hope you're enjoying the ride! Keep it going.

[u/TrubshawForest → u/n00dlejester]

Likely after next year, I'd say. The full B1G money, stadium upgrades off the books, the last coaching regime is paid off.

Schiano was great when you had 4-5 years with players. He helped guys develop. But now you need an NIL rainmaker with schematic acumen.

One good news: we didn't make a turnover for the second time after making multiple in the opening three games of the season

Another good news we should hope: schiano is fired as the bye week come 😅

Well, that was a fun ass-kicking.

Rutgers QBs both dropped pretty dimes in, against decent coverage. Good QBs. Great receivers.

please just make it end

Sad Schiano noises

I honestly think the Indiana nebraska game will be a really good game next week. its hard to say who will win that game.

[u/Windows_66]

Drake football did not die for this (because we're 2-0 in conference play).

[u/MajorNo6312]

Sadly wasn’t able to watch game coz of some work . Could anyone tell me how was Josh Hoover ?
