Maybe if Tressel of Meyer were coaching. Probably not with Ryan Day as head coach. Day seems to favor QB’s with a different…let’s say “profile.”

Indiana at Notre Dame Round 1 Playoffs
It’s never happened before. Ever. IU didn’t play a strong schedule but other than Michigan, they crushed the teams they beat. They covered the spread handily in every game except for Michigan, tOSU, and now ND. It was kind of weird how during the game the announcers were critical of IU’s schedule while trumpeting ND’s schedule saying they beat Army, Navy, and Louisville. Ooh, aah. Whoopty-do. ND’s loss to NIU was a case of overconfidence, thinking they could just roll their helmets out there and win the game. We can’t judge them by that. But I’m not sold on them being a competitor for the title. They have a history of being overrated and I’m not sure IU wasn’t a little bit intimidated by the brand and the big stage. Kurtis Rourke has played a lot better. If he hadn’t thrown the early pick and instead managed a TD, who knows? Not saying they would’ve won but some early success would’ve given them some confidence and momentum. I figured they’d score 21 points and still be in the game in the 4th qtr. I figured it would be about 28-21 around that time and a score by someone would cover the 51.5 pt total. Big win for Marcus Freeman, though. I’m happy for him.

There was no doubt the call would stand. There wasn’t enough video to show that he “had control of the ball the whole time.” There has to be video to show that. You can make assumptions. They can’t. If there was then they’d say the call was confirmed.

Try to draw them offside then kick. Have to get points here.

I just posted this in the trivial surly thread in response to nnm complaining about the little drummer boy (song). It should probably go here too because…damn.

I’m very excited about this game but I’m curious about how much interest there is around the country and with casual fans. Obviously it’s huge in Indiana. I spent my adolescence in northern Indiana about 30 miles from South Bend so I learned to hate Notre Dame, and Notre Dame fans, at an early age. I’m a Big Ten fan and I’ve been following (and profiting from) the Hoosiers’ history-making journey all season long. It’s complicated because my feelings about ND have softened since former Buckeye Marcus Freeman took over the coaching job. I have a lot of reasons to be interested in the game. Obviously the Fighting Irish have a huge national fanbase. The Hoosiers don’t. My assumption is that this game doesn’t seem all that sexy to the casual fan. But I don’t know. Is this something people are looking forward to or is it something they might watch just because it’s on, otherwise most people just assume that naturally ND will crush IU and they’re waiting to see what happens in the games tomorrow?

I’m happy to report that there has been an evolution (revolution?) in fruit stickers. It’s a game changer. Leave an un-stickied tab on the sticker to allow for easy removal. (Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?)
