As a Bucks fan I hate to say this, but this game reminded me of one long ago: Urban Meyer was at Florida and had already won a championship, but Nick Saban was gaining steam at Alabama. It was the SEC championship and Saban’s Alabama team was up against Meyer and Florida. And Bama won on a clearly better game plan and execution. You could just FEEL that Saban was smarter and had his team laser focused. This game felt like that. Cignetti was smarter and his team was more focused and executed beautifully. Im not saying IU is going on a Bama run, but things just got VERY interesting in the Big 10.

Im very much a 'you are what you show you are' guy. But hes been setup for failure all year. Zero chance to get in any rhythm. No 3rd down targets. When he has gotten a hand off, theres 2mins left, were up 2 scores, 100% sold out vs run. We need to get him some real drives, not for his good, our own. Cook has never seen this type of work load and hes our most important player currently. If we wanna make a run, g2 let off the gas with him. Also a thunder lightning thing would benefit the duo and that OL. We gotta few weeks to get it going and its a worthy investment.

don’t remind me! Looked like we were gingerly walking on ice the entire game.

The Bengals have a real shot to make the playoffs if they win this game. This can be Revenge for the 2022 playoff game. Knock the Bengals out.

Mendoza gave like a WWE-style speech there!

Mendoza in an interview is basically the Sham-Wow guy

Congratulations Hoosiers you deserved it

Great game, great outcome...

The Bengals played just fine the last time they played in the snow in OP.

Light winds and no more than 2-3" accumulation, so no blizzard. Just a quick dump of an inch or two that can get everybody good and fired up and trigger a raucous party.

i have always been a big “build a dome” guy. But what a blessing a big storm would be for us— may hurt the bengals pass game and we finally be a true snow team with our new running game.

Considering we are, frustratingly, a better running team than a passing team, a good blizzard could be an advantage.

Mendoza has a bunch of Mayfield to him from what I'm seeing

Parsons can't play the run at all

Thankfully my snowblower starts. Firing it up at 4:15 pm.

Yeah but you're part of that 10% of weirdos I left space for that are more interested in genuine understanding than the fallacy of surface impressions. Freak.

Ok that was an elite throw by Mendoza to maybe ice it. NFL’ers could not have thrown that any better.

Ths #92 on OSU for having a belly like vanilla pudding is just everywhere. Hey that's a ballsy call by IU

Amusing post. Not sure that 53 years of futility, eight years under the current administration, qualifies as the second things don't go your way. Hyperbole rules.

With Kincaid in the lineup we are 6-2, without him we are 2-2. He's definitely emerging this year as a pass-catching TE1. But he's not a cure-all. He played against the Dolphins and the Pats and we were anemic on offense. We scored 44 on Tampa and dominated the Steelers without him. Better is to sit him until he's healthy--a gimpy Kincaid like in the AFC championship hurts us more than going with Hawes and Knox, IMO.

Correct - hes actually the opposite of the nutjob you want. Jalen Carter is a true nutjob. Highlyyyyy competitive, loud, plays through whistle and sometimes after a little bit (which i don't hate at all, situationally). Sometimes that nutjob will catch you a dumb flag, might even get you thrown out for spitting lol thats a small part of nutjob package you sign up for. Pickens is the opposite. Hes supremely talented with elite pedigree. You'll never see any of that from above though^^ He likes doing what he likes doing, like getting the ball (usually lol). Anything thats not that? Its a no thanks. Then you'll occasionally get head scratchers... you had a close games. An important game. Favorable matchup against a bad defense. Lamb went down, should've meant extra targets and maximum engagement from him..... he had no interest lol Was like my always food driven dog and I throw him lettuce lol I also am a lot more lenient than most. If a dude is locked in on the field, and its not specifically the r-word act with women, or abuse of kids, I'm in favor of drafting a borderline criminal/off field problems, in favor of supreme talent. My point here? ^^Even these types i referebce above are more desirable than Pickens. On top of that hes a d bag in locker room. He made it 11 games in the single most positive conditions, with his biggest payday ever on the line, and the wheels are falling off lol Now imagine him here, in a run first offense, where even if we get a different coordinator, he will not see the ball anywhere near as much as he does now. Then giving him $50-$60m guaranteed? Lol absolutely not. Thankfully the one time here, our conservative FO, would never ever on earth entertain this lol

Yeah I'm on one of those weird drunken jags

Didn't want to bury this in a 30 page thread because some might be interested. There is a very real possibility that there is going to be a 2-3 hr window right smack dab in the middle of this game where a couple inches of snow might fall on Orchard Park. I mention this because we have all seen times when a fast blast of accumulating snow seemingly comes out of nowhere during a Bills home game. And we have also all seen how it can turn that stadium electric reeeeeal quick and have a legitimate impact on the game. In addition to the interesting matchup, tomorrow could become extra entertaining for the folks in attendance. ❄️ Enjoy! ❄️

Ryan day is a doofus. I can’t believe anyone would think he is a good coach. Anyone with a pulse could coach this Ohio state team. Cignetti coaching circles around him.
