Didn't watch the game myself, opted to sleep instead of listening to the media glaze Indiana for 3 hours. OSU's entire offense seems to be Smith. They better hope that he doesn't twist an ankle or something, because they've already lost their starting QB. But both teams seemed evenly matched. Still irritates the hell out of me that Indiana is this nearly unstoppable juggernaut all of a sudden. They had the game won too if it weren't for a single foot out of bounds. Just unreal.

Are you mad that Indiana turned into a powerhouse overnight because Iowa wouldn't take that risk?

I personally have enjoyed the chaos because it's flied in the face of all the "experts" who just believe College Football should be reserved for all the top money teams like Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State.

Look at how people are framing their arguments against the 24 team CFP, and I'm as big a CFB purist/traditionalist as anyone.

They're big mad because it supposedly waters down the product and gives more "false hope" in their words to programs who, in their words, should have no shot at winning a national title, and in their minds, shouldn't be allowed to be given more of these opportunities because they don't get all the top recruits and have the money and viewership that the big programs do............

That's their f***ing argument.

So why should I be hating on what Indiana is doing when it flies in the face of the media morons?

And yes I will still be annoyed if Indiana beats Iowa in football in the future.

I just made some Totinos pizza rolls. First time in a decade probably. Still addicting and delicious. Good games.

Make a home made Keto crustless pizza. Add whatever you like for toppings. You'll love it. Be creative, and fry some cheese on the bottom before you add the toppings, if you like a crust. :)

Indiana didn't "take that risk." They got a big fat check from Mark Cuban.

Lets be fair. It wasn't just about "taking a risk". Cignetti is undeniably a good coach. But Indiana wouldn't have made this 180 without the massive influx of cash they've received in the NIL era.
