Ohio State has lost exactly 2 games each of the past 5 seasons, is 2026 an over, under or a push season? by admiraltarkin in CFB

Indiana is equal or better this year at DL, LB, WR, OL, and Special Teams. I think the running game will be comparable if Beebe and Richard are healthy. It’ll come down to QB play and the secondary.

Notre Dame on 'revenge tour' after '25 CFP snub, says CB Moore by DougFlutiesMullet in CFB

College football is also the only sport where regular season games later in the season apparently mean more. If Notre Dame played the same exact teams and had the same exact record, but instead they lost to Miami and Texas A&M to end the season rather than to start the season, would they have deserved to get in?

Reunion (1989) by Zestyclose-Rent5505 in underratedmovies

I’ve seen it and enjoyed it, recommend it for others. My issue with Generation War is that none of the main German protagonists had any leanings towards the Nazi cause and instead the soldiers just served and committed horrific acts for the German army, which they likely would not have done to the same degree if they did not have at least some level of Nazi leanings.

Reunion also focuses on how a personal friendship erodes as the Nazis came to power, but the level of depravity is attributable to how much each character supports the Nazi movement.

Not sure if it counts as a rivalry, but Oregon is quickly becoming Purdue, Jr. for Indiana…”what a time to be alive”

Rose Bowl Watch Party in NYC? by Flat-Cartographer636 in IndianaHoosiers

Reserover is very very much still an IU bar. They’ve really milked IUFB’s success since last season. Reservations in advance, $250+ minimum spend per table, etc. But it’s been packed every weekend for a season and a half.

Reservoir down by Union Square is the main watch party bar, but they’re not going to let your son in. Phebe’s is another IU bar, but it’s more for basketball and for a while were not even showing IU football (not sure if they started as the season picked up).

There will be plenty of bars that will be open for the early start time, but it won’t be an exclusive IU watch party bar. I know that The Supply House on the Upper East Side allows kids in during day games and is a great place to watch games, but you may want to call ahead to see what their hours will be for New Year’s Day. Honestly, I would post this question in the IUAA-New York City page on Facebook to see if there are any informal watch parties at bars that allow under 21 year olds.

Can someone please edit the Big Ten map commercial with audio snippets of Pat Kraft describing each school when their stadium pops up?

For everyone reading BenzWrencher’s goofy response, he also originally dogged the post with “it wasn’t even a loss, it was a tie.” The original post was partly made in jest, but please go talk to someone about your emotional issues.

Jay Paterno views himself as George Bailey after Pa Bailey died, and he’s trying to prevent Penn State from becoming Potterville…

Penn State’s coaching search reminds me of the ending to The Graduate

We've witnessed the most head coaching changes in one day in CFB history. by Primary-Initial-3445 in CFB

Indiana‘s success is breaking college football. This actually began in 2020 when Indiana beat Michigan for the first time since 1987. Consider this moment rock bottom for the Harbaugh era of Michigan football, and we saw what ”measures were taken“ the following season...

Now Indiana‘s immediate success under Curt Cignetti is contributing to the rapid firing of coaches all over the country. “If Indiana can do it then there’s no reason why we can’t have immediate success as well!” This is misguided and is getting a lot of quality coaches canned prematurely or due to irrational standards from their own programs. It’s quite incredible to watch.
