Hoosiers. Volunteers. Tar Heels. Fighting Illini. Badgers. Wolverines. Scarlet Knights. Golden Bears. Hawkeyes. Huskers. Longhorns. Sooners. Gamecocks. Vandals. You left out..... Trojans.

That's the one that hasn't been mentioned. Major conference schools whose mascot doesn't end in 'S': Illinois, Alabama, Notre Dame, NC State, Syracuse, Stanford, St. Johns. Others: Tulane, Nevada, Navy, UMass and 17 others. (There's actually 28. The list I had was a few years old, and one school moved up to D1 in that time.) I'll claim the one that moved up, only because it's my wife's alma mater: Northern Kentucky Norse. Hint: Billingsley was right....a lot of these involve colors.

How many other fan boards have a thread welcoming an upcoming Bowl opponent, much less pinning it ? Really...pretty much every OOC opponent we play against (both regular season and bowls). The boards filled with trolls give college football fans a bad name. Most college football fans just want to talk about the game, and enjoy some good-hearted back and forth.

jblaz13 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm emotionally divided on this. I sure don't have anything personal against DeBoer,and appreciate what he has done at/for IU. Same goes for the sign of respect and reinforcement of the family environment. However that is when you thank a guy and give him front row seats IMO. I also want an Indiana man coaching the Indiana team.At the same time I can't fault anyone for disagreeing. Again with such good points both in favor and against him coaching the offense in the Gator Bowl; As well as there not really being an absolute "right nor wrong" answer to it, the internal conflict comes in so in the end I'll watch and wish for a W. Also hoping DeBoer does a great job at FSU, but not nearly as well as he does coaching the offense in this bowl.Agree to disagree. Edit: I took the OC specation out to post separately.

Side thought : I haven't had/nor will have much time to read back prior to this page, but does this move of allowing DeBoer to be OC in the bowl also indicate anything to be implied about/ on Hart regarding the vacant spot? Does this mean Hart is the man getting one last walkthrough before the job is his, OR, does this indicate there is not decisiveness on Hart to warrant immediately promoting him. Possibilities of Hart being promoted to OC, or staying with the backs. Or indication IU either wants to checl the market, possibly even pursue other candidates with the intent to hire someone else.I'll check out the rest of this and the OC thread later.Hopefully during breaks in the basketball game. There are other threads below that discuss this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Welcome Vols fans thread.I SWEAR i clicked the DeBoer thread and not sure how I ended up here but my fingers are big enough to click on 3 threads at a time After I read your reply I sat and wondered what about Hart was not relevant to DeBoer.Lol Let's just say I had some to drink this weekend, Ok!

dgambill Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Funny enough with the exception of our two flagship programs the B1G has played well in bowl games this year. That said we are probably the biggest underdog of all the teams. Hope we play well...we have a chance in prime time to grow momentum for the program.

I think Michigan and Minnesota were both around a 7 point underdog. Cal was a 6 point favorite against Illinois. Wish I would have known that one before, would have bet the farm on Cal!

jblaz13 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I always get Georgia Southern and Ga. State confused. I knew who I meant but realized I had misspoke the team UT played in week 1 in a recent comment somewhere.Ugh Apologies for that. Go Hoosiers!!!!
