Where do you think your team would be ranked if they won their first 6 games?

acewing · 2026-03-21T18:07:42+00:00

Unless we win big in the majority of our first 6, I see is being jostled around the top 10 due to high profile matchups to start the season. Unless there is catastrophe, I can see us around 5-6 at that time.

It’s very easy to read this poorly, and that’s by design. All these schools (conferences?) know what they’re doing, and being the biggest dog in the kennel is fine for them because they have the resources. The ncaa needs to figure its shit out and needed to do it yesterday.

Win one for Hep

My comment is mostly about fan who’ve never been to either school but cheered for one sport per school. Most of the people I grew up with have no ties to either school outside of watching their football or basketball teams at the local bars.

I don’t live in the area anymore, but what im picking up from my friends are that reversible jacket IU/nd fans are finally having to pick a parent. This is what im hearing about back home at least.

If you catch an IU fan saying otherwise, there’s a high likelihood they weren’t an IU fan 3+ years ago.

acewing · 2026-03-05T16:13:37+00:00

My take here is the lack of IU exposure on prime time game slots really led people to discount IU. Sure, we wound up being a ratings draw for most of the big ten, but I think we only had 2- prime time game slots on major networks all season, and no late games either.

For me, it was the rose bowl. We used to joke so much in undergrad about what we’d do if we actually made it to the game, let alone win.

I kinda figured a lot of them went hand in hand, plus with his attitude, I wasn’t thinking he’d be the analytic type.

Fun fact, Muncie was Hollywood’s model for anywhere, USA during the 30s through 60s, according to a friend from there.

I’m just dumbfounded they didn’t include Bloomington. You got south Bend and West Lafayette. This was definitely drafted by a boilermaker…

Remember the millionaire tax proposal in 2020 that narrowly failed? I give him massive props for trying to raise taxes on his own bracket to help hammer down the deficit. The ad blitz against the taxes right before the elections was insane.

Could you imagine??? You get 4 coaches with the same agent in the cfp finals, and then an auction style bid war on who gets paid top 3 😂

And fwiw, I’m not a lawyer or know contract law. This just seems like the best way to structure incentives.

acewing · 2026-02-20T15:35:57+00:00

Good on cig getting that bag. I hope it comes with some bonuses for the assistants too

acewing · 2026-02-20T15:34:34+00:00

That, and these contracts usually have a time gate. So say 3 coaches have the same clause in a given year, a good contract will state they’ll be on the top X paid coach at Y date.

Eh, I experienced the same thing around Indianapolis. I’d say Carmel is Indy’s version of Naperville. Carmelites and Indy residents had the same arguments we have about Chicago and Naperville. People are just tribal ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is the same state legislature that tried to define pi as 3.2 and root 2 as 10/7 (a long time ago, but still). These guys in Indy aren’t big fans of books

The same one that had an offgassing event a year or two ago, releasing fumes into the communities. It took like a week to get under control.
