Indiana deserves it. ND at Navy would have been cooler. 

That game isn’t being played at Navy. It’s at MetLife Stadium in the middle of a parking lot in New Jersey.

My favorite Corso story was how every many years ago that Andy Dalton and TCU played at the Rose Bowl, my wife (who had been a Tournament of Roses volunteer for years) was assigned to the TCU marching

Plus they'll do Gameday for Army-Navy in December at the shitty stadium in Landover, MD. Hopefully they'll post up at a better location like in DC.

Always liked Indiana.  Back in the day when their head coach was a guy named John Pont, the punter was a very good athlete.  Pont green lighted him to fake any punt at any time in any game.  Don’t recall how many were successful, but it was more than few.  Hope the Hoosiers go undefeated and win the playoff if SEC can’t get it done.

Google “Punt, John, Punt!” a fine 1967 SI article about John Pont, who led the Hoosiers to the Big Ten Championship.  He was named National Coach of the Year.

 

 

Here’s an excerpt.  

“Standing on the sideline with a red thermos cup that his manager constantly keeps filling with coffee, Pont has agonized while his Hoosiers have survived in the following manner:

They began by edging Kentucky 12-10 when sophomore Quarterback Harry Gonso threw a fourth-down, 23-yard pass to End Al Gage that was deflected—yes—into his hands for a touchdown. Next they beat Kansas 18-15 on a 24-yard field goal by Dave Kornowa, who is not the regular place-kicker but who was asked to attempt it because Indiana's real kicker, Don Warner, had, at the time, an arthritic toe. The Hoosiers then topped Illinois 20-7 after Linebacker Brown Marks caused a first-down Illinois fumble on Indiana's 12-yard line late in the fourth quarter when Pont's team was clinging to a 13-7 lead. They had Iowa beaten the next Saturday until sophomore Halfback John Isenbarger decided it would be fun to try to run from punt formation on fourth down and failed, setting up the Hawkeyes for a go-ahead touchdown. Undaunted, Indiana came back to drive 60 yards for a score with 53 seconds left and win 21-17. Isenbarger, incredibly, did the same thing against Michigan the next week, and thereby made himself one of the Big Ten's most celebrated backs of the year. Instead of punting late in the game, he ran—from his own 13-yard line—and failed. Michigan tied the score, and Pont's team had to drive 85 yards to win 27-20 in the last two minutes. That was the third time during the season Isenbarger had decided on his own to run instead of punt and the second time he had failed.”

Makes me happy to see Corso out there in Indiana garb today. nice tribute to him . It’s probably cool for him to see Indiana undefeated right now. Hope we can prove him right and win it all this year,

P-State complaints of "The Big Noon Kickoff" start time... hilarious

Nice job Big10 😂

Especially since they are guaranteed to be the premier matchup of their time slot and of the day for that matter.  Today's slate of games is very meh.

Yeah a night game matchup of  P-state vs suckeyes would really dominate the TV ratings today especially with no bama, no lsu, and no Texas games.

Saw in a Family text that Kirk’s dog Ben died.

…..damn dust

I loved getting to see Ben in Austin (even though he was far away from my seats) at the Texas v Georgia game. Very sad. Many people loved Ben. ❤️❤️

Last one (Ben had the time of his life but this shit making me cry) best two videos

Dogs.  Dogs are good.  Sometimes we don't deserve what they give, but we get 'em anyway.

Am I a bad person…or perhaps the smartest person because I always fast forward through the soft music/dying person segment of GameDay?

I wouldn't call you bad, you may have some shit you need to talk about, but as fuel for our collective disposition, it's probably the smart move.
