If literally any one of the bullet points I listed go in ND's favor, there is no way they get left out. Just one needed to break for ND. I circled back to that a couple times today, wondering if I forgot anything. My overall takeaway is that literally ALL of those things had to happen for ND...

Absolutely. But that's kind of my point. The "leave no doubt" mantra is great but it's almost an impossible bar. At some point throughout a season, you just need the chips to fall your way. You need to be blessed by the football gods during the season because there will be times when winning...

Jamie at ISD has a criteria list that shows what all championship teams have in common in the modern playoff era. I can't recall the list off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure Indiana checked 5 of the 7 (or so) boxes, if memory serves me correctly. IU was really good this year. I don't...

"Leave no doubt." Coach Freeman is absolutely right. But... That is so much easier said than done. For as great as this IU team was, they barely beat Iowa, Penn State, OSU, and Miami. The stars had to align in ways that seemed beyond what the team was controlling in order to get those...

I'm not sure there needs to be a new thread for 2025 in the rearview, but I do have some thoughts: There is a small part of me that feels like ND is cursed. The sheer amount of things that ND needed to go their way this year, but didn't, is astounding. In this "game of inches," ND fell short...

Caleb Williams is basically an upgraded Jay Cutler 2.0 imo. Similar gunslinger styles of play. Caleb has a much higher ceiling with his athleticism obviously. Caleb’s INTs are down compared to Cutty but he’s still a high risk, high reward type QB. A couple of easy check downs over the middle...

He's a head coach so he's likely going to say, "We didn't get it done those first two games and that's on us." Everyone will nod in agreement. He's not going to get into advanced stats or hypotheticals. Those guys don't live in that headspace. I'm sure they'll grill him on declining a bowl...

Gross. He will have to sit there and be civil and polite around a bunch of dipshits who spent the last two months talking shit about ND. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who will put any of them in their places. This might just end up creating new James Franklin memes as Coach Free...

I will say that Marsh is more plug and play. Cignetti knows what he’s getting in him. I posted in another thread the other day about how I’m curious the production comparison between Marsh and both OSU transfers. I wouldn’t be whining about it though. Good grief man. Get a grip.

How much 11 and 12 personnel is Denbrock running? Especially now with an upgrade in QB over Leonard and upgrades in the WR room? TE in this offense moving forward doesn’t seem like a massive necessity. Just my opinion. Prister will complain about anything. I won’t be shocked to see way more 10...

Unable to watch. What is Hansen grilling him about?

I told my wife that if the fence is 100% on our property per the plots and w/o any verbal or written agreement, we cannot force someone to pay for any costs, let alone half. Prepare yourself for inevitable rage, but hope for the best. Met with crickets. To the bolded: Ironically, yes, but...

Yes I’m hoping for cooler heads when I get around to chatting with the neighbors.

My wife and her BFF were known as Bia 1 and Bia 2 in high school. Not only did they take it as a compliment, they reveled in it. To this day, she is very antagonistic and confrontational. For better and for worse. Meanwhile, I'm the polar opposite. I'm very diplomatic, civil, and...

Didn't have Tyler Buchner as his holder... I'm joking! Everyone calm down. Last season's issues definitely seemed operational as opposed to purely individual. I'm sure it'll get fixed, if it hasn't already.

Never felt so good to be so wrong. Otherwise kind of proud of myself for not jumping off a bridge and waiting for the dust to settle after what seemed like a crazy first week of swings and misses. Ngl, hoping for Gray still.

Free 08 now! Let’s goooo!

I personally would like to wait and see what the offense looks like w/o Love and Price, tbh. Not saying it'll be trash. I'm just keeping my expectations in check. Worth noting though, the schedule aligns for some massive numbers and combined with a "revenge tour," my skepticism may be a bit...

Looking forward to all of the update articles/headlines clarifying the error and clearing Freeman's name of "battery charges." The only other clown show bigger than that wrestling coach, is the media jerkoffs who jumped on the story for clicks, citing little to no facts whatsoever.

From my friend who's friends with Joanna: "Anyone who knows that family knows that Marcus is the strong quiet type. Jo is the one who would've needed to be pulled off a guy." :ROFLMAO:
