Respect for being a Beaver fan. And that is the point.

Remember all the amazing players brought to OSU under Erickson? Guys like Chad Johnson, TJ, Steven Jackson, etc? How OSU was not just good...but VERY good under that regime?

(OSU got screwed. Killing the Pac-12 sucked....)

Now look at where CFB was going. The SEC was trying to argue it needed a full half of its conference in the playoffs. Bigger conferences were trying to push out the others, turning the playoffs into a glorified SEC championship with some invites for the Big 10 and maybe a few others.

But IU showed that you don't need that crap. That hiring a great coach (like OSU did with Erickson) can make a big difference. Now, sure, IU is IN a bigger conference...but the tide is turning because the argument is now made that anyone can win it.

And as for the special teams thing? That was the IU thing all year. They forced and capitalized on the other team's mistakes. That wasn't a fluke. It's a feature.


You are welcome to your opinion. Just confused why you don't see how IU winning isn't better for CFB and even maybe good for fans like at OSU.
I understand and tend to agree with all you said. It's just the state of the college game as a whole that has me salty. There is a reason why college football players come into the league less and less prepared, specifically offensive lineman and quarterbacks. It's all clappity clap shotgun garbage. During the entire CFB playoffs there was like what? Two games that ended within a margin of a touchdown? Basically zero drama, but lots of turning the TV off at half time.

To each his own, no judgement from me

I’m a TCU fan at heart, I understand what it’s like pulling for a team that rarely does anything special.

My point was, even though I had no dog in the fight that was a very entertaining game to watch (not boring for me).
Watching them beat a historic team like Miami in spite of the terrible officiating was a thing of beauty, almost like it was destiny.
Indiana had an incredible season with a great story. Goofy ass QB, and Goofy coach, what’s not to love.
