I think we'd be ranked around 10-12. If we had beaten Iowa and Penn State (lol, that felt silly to type), they wouldn't be anywhere near the top 5 because a loss to IU is still considered a bad loss to some of the people who do these rankings. I just don't think they'd feel comfortable ranking us any higher. I mean, we got up to what, #12 last year, and people were acting like the sun was rising in the southwest. Ok, back to present day IU football and hoping we don't see a run up the middle on first down.

"No Fun League" is trending on Twitter. Apparently someone on the Raiders spiked the ball and got flagged for taunting. It's just amazing how football officials are being trained to over-think, over-analyze and try to see things that aren't there.

I'm hoping that the Big Ten will add a couple teams from the Big 12 when it finally kicks the bucket and Purdue will get moved into the East with us.

Let's hope that's all it was. I don't trust the Colts regarding injuries ever since they tried to cover up Peyton Manning's neck/shoulder problems.

Even with completions of 42 and 22 yards on that drive, Brissett is still averaging less than 10 yards per complete pass.

The Colts needed 9 plays to go 19 yards and finally punch it in. Should be game, but of course the defense is suddenly allowing Jacoby Brissett to air it out like he's Peyton Manning.

How do you get penalized for a facemask during a fumble return when you're the one returning a fumble? That cost the Colts 17 yards.

A short pass on 3rd and 9 from the 17 tells me the Colts don't trust Wentz to throw to the end zone.

What exactly are the Colts trying to do here? Is Chuck Pagano back on the sideline?

Every week, around 2 p.m., I always think "wow, this game is moving quickly, I can't believe it's almost halftime." Then halftime usually arrives around 2:30.

Wow, the Colts decided to look like a good team for a possession and punish an opponent for being offsides on a punt.

I have a hard time seeing how this Colts team wins more than 5 games.

Michigan State absolutely crushing Western Kentucky. We could be 2-5 in a couple weeks.

Just like you did when I mentioned his record against Minnesota...which was actually kind of relevant because that's who they played today. Clearly being 3-1 against Iowa means the world to you though, so I'll back off and just let you enjoy that.

Giving up a 96 yard scoring drive after eschewing a field goal...feels like we're back to pre-2019 IU football.

I've noticed you like using the "haha" reaction instead of trying to actually refute a post. I'm guessing you think Frost is more overpaid than Brohm...cool. Brohm has lost twice to that guy. You can keep using a smiley face, I'll keep using facts.

Hard to believe we'd be any worse off with a different QB right now.

And 1-3 against Northwestern. Hopefully the poor 4th string tight end didn't drop any passes today.

The Big Ten's most overpaid coach is now 1-4 against the boat-rowers.

So I just looked up the top 25 rankings to see where we were...we are now unranked. Kind of stunning considering we opened at #2.

Nice to see your back-pocket excuses aren't limited to Purdue sports.

So, since we haven't gotten our nightly update from our resident Cardinals fan about their winning streak, I'm gonna guess they finally lost?

I've always been a little skeptical of the postseason odds on ESPN. A couple weeks ago, they had the Red Sox, Yankees and Blue Jays all at 60% or higher to make the playoffs. They now have the Blue Jays at 18%, even though they're only 1 game behind the Red Sox (75%).

Irsay's biggest problem is that he tries too hard to not be like his dad. Bob Irsay was a jackass that no one wanted to work for, so Jim tries to be a family man who gives everyone more rope than they deserve. He wants the organization to be like one big happy family where everybody loves everybody. He desperately wanted Grigson and Pagano to work because Grigson was like a son to him. Ballard and Reich are probably more qualified for their jobs than Grigson and Pagano were, but Irsay isn't going to move on from either of them until something seismic happens.

The Ballard/Reich honeymoon is just about done, IMO.
