Love IU having a football program to be reckoned with. 

Really hope we can close out the season with a win over Purdue, and get a solid bowl game invite.

Recruiting will follow.

That post game interview did more for recruiting than almost anything could.

A couple thoughts...

This game shouldn't have even been this close...that sure TD drop would have sealed the game.

IU was clearly better than Wisconsin.

IU is very good.

Coach Allen is awesome.

IU will be playing in a very good bowl after they beat down PU next week.

I believe IU is second best team in Big Ten after O$U.

B1G would actually be better off having OSU play Wisconsin if they don’t get enough games then Northwestern in the championship. OSU is going to the playoffs regardless of whether they play Northwestern or Wisconsin. Benefit the B1G to have a chance of multiple New Year’s Day programs.

That's actually the angle I've been playing over in my head as well.

Disregarding for a moment that the Big Ten would not do the same for Indiana, I have no problem with OSU representing the conference in the Big ten Championship.  They beat us fair and square (though we had our chances) and no one else in the conference was going to beat them.  For me, going to the Championship game on a technicality isn't the way I want to do it.  

We're good this year.  We deserve recognition.  But, a New Years Day bowl is sufficient.  Let's just take care of business next week to help make that a reality.  

I agree with this. My main problem with it is that it's just another example that if you win enough the rules don't apply to you in college athletics. This is true at the school level (so many examples), conference level (like this), and NCAA level.

Speaking of Bowls, did anyone see the absurd Bowl Projections from the resident Purdue idiot Jerry Palm from earlier this week?

  • Has a Northwestern team that lost to a team we beat easily (MSU) playing in a Selection Committee Bowl.  And, Northwestern will most assuredly have a 2nd loss once OSU beats them by 40 in the Big Championship Game.
  • Also, has Wisconsin playing in a Selection Committee Bowl.  Granted this was before we beat them, but still......
  • And, here is the kicker.  He has Maryland, a team we just beat easily, playing 5th ranked Texas A&M, while he has us playing a 4 loss Auburn team.

He gets PAID for this shiat?

When did he put this out because there is no way that after beating UW they would still be ahead of us.

Just thinking I hope that if we get into the NY 6 game I hope it isn't against a team like UC or BYU or Costal Carolina. I want to play a big time program from the SEC

Can you imagine the recruiting cred that would come with saying we won a NY 6 bowl game?

We would set ourselves apart from 75% of the B1G by having that claim.

This was put out on December 2nd.  So, it was AFTER Northwestern lost to MSU and after Maryland lost to us.  My main gripe wasn't about Wisconsin, as he was clearly assuming they would beat us.  I just threw it in there to add extra emphasis to his stupidity.  The other two teams getting better bowls than us is what I find to be a joke.

OSU is clearly in. It’s no doubt. Florida will lose to Bama and ND will lose to Clemson. OSU and Alabama will be only with zero losses. Who cares if they are B1G champs. It would get the B1G more recognition to have Indiana if we win out to represent as the champs. This way the B1G wins on multiple levels. Indiana is a big story.

I use his stuff to get a chuckle.  Dude is on meth or heroine.

That's been my line of thinking as well. If they match up OSU and Wisconsin, that only strengthens their resume. 

And an IU/NW title game on its own is enough of a story, but the fact that we'd be playing Ramsey....
