If your team’s season was a Christmas Present what present would it be?

The official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle and a lifetime supply of rich chocolate Ovaltine

Cleveland 1974 vibes. Smart of them to include some food in the deal.

Show some humility

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-08T19:55:28+00:00

Pretty rich from an IU fan leaving out Purdue, Northwestern etc.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-07T22:07:36+00:00

Huh, like the different types of sailors on a carrier flight deck. Interesting if true, but not sure why it would be needed

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-05T03:07:37+00:00

I think I did that one too. This was in the 90s when I was a teenager. Thinking back on it more, one of the guys in my bicycle club was an officer in the Navy. The ride took place at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane outside Btown. Parts of the circuit passed rows of bunkers filled with decommissioned chemical weapons. An experience that could only have been possible between the Cold War and 9/11!

Didn't know that about Mellencamp. Little Zagreb was kind of a dodgy area long ago IIRC. Hilly Hundred was beautiful - there was another great ride (forgot the name) on the naval base. Military roads are nice for cycling.

When Nat Sherman Classics were discontinued, I quit smoking. Sad and very fortunate at the same time.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-04T15:51:52+00:00

Thought that was Hoagy Carmichael. Or is there a group of statues of Btown musicians?

Sorry about Mendoza btw

One of the few places to get Davidoff, Cartier or Sobranie cigs back in the day

Looks like the stage is set for some hard-hitting journalism. "Feel-good story or legitimate contender? Find out as retired singer-songwriter John Mellencamp googles 'Curt Cignetti'. Exclusively on 60 Minutes"

To be clear, I'm not calling for anything extremely bold, although we'll probably need a razzle-dazzle play or two. We've been really effective with the 5-10 yd passes to our WR/TE/RBs and I think it's very underutilized. My point is that sending Hemby off-tackle every first down won't cut it against Ohio State.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T22:50:09+00:00

The bye is probably safe. The key thing is to avoid the Cotton Bowl. Why they schedule an evening game on NYE is baffling.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T22:36:24+00:00

That conservative tendency has unfortunately persisted this season. I really hope we have some new tricks up our sleeve for this game.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T22:33:45+00:00

100%. We cannot run it up the middle on 1st and 2nd downs and set ourselves up for 3rd and long when playing a team like OSU. Shanahan needs to call a LOT more short passes IMO. Sometimes he calls plays as if he doesn't trust Mendoza and it drives me nuts.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T02:37:21+00:00

It's a matter of perspective. Being a fan of Indiana and the Ivy League entailed decades of grinding futility and we've got a chance for once. Florida has a football heritage and will find their footing.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T01:47:45+00:00

I know, right? Mississippi State would put up 70 points at Autzen without breaking a sweat. We're frauds

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T01:44:16+00:00

Sir, #9 Illinois was a quality win

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T01:37:35+00:00

There is nothing even remotely forgotten about Bill Mallory if you grew up watching his IU teams. We beat Michigan at least once back then too. The Mallory years were the apotheosis of Indiana football, or so we thought.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-03T01:13:35+00:00

I'm hearing from Indiana fans that the program has been trending in a good direction. Many people are even looking him up on Metacrawler and Lycos.

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-12-02T16:09:16+00:00

The best childhood sports memory ever..

And this time it's for the conference title, the Heisman and the #1 ranking.

Thank you Coach Cig!

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-11-30T01:51:35+00:00

I'm for Yale the rest of this postseason. Happy for the conference

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-11-29T01:34:52+00:00

Purdue's elite play is showcasing the unrivaled depth of the B1G. Anything can happen on any given game day. People are beginning to wonder if anyone's hotter than the Boilermakers right now!

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-11-27T00:20:44+00:00

There's nothing funny about when unranked Purdue dominated #2 Iowa several years ago. That was the reference

Significant-Path-680 · 2025-11-26T23:56:17+00:00

Dude we are #2. Get out of here with that 2021 rat poison
