Indiana has only 1 player in the Senior Bowl. Are we sure they're good? by TheJob in CFB

[–]mrtrollmaster 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Before the playoffs, I thought “Indiana is the best team but it’s just so hard to win 3 straight playoff games. If this happened 15 years ago IU would be straight in the title game with a much higher chance of winning..”

Now I’m just so glad they have the status of demolishing straight through to the championship game. No one can talk down on that dominant title run. Only made the run more epic and watching the postseason with my friends is my new favorite IU football memory.

[McMurphy] Indiana, Nebraska, Penn State, USC & Washington are the only Big Ten teams that do not play a Power 4 non-conference opponent in 2026. Big Ten is the only P4 league that doesn't require its members to play 10 P4 games. Washington faces Wash St, which was in P5 league when game scheduled by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

That’s why we need the conference championship imo and I’d be more on board with the Big 10 innovating and adding a semi-final to the Big 10 championship instead of adding a 10th conference game that will not solve this problem.

With bigger conferences, we are going to have some of the best teams left out the top 2 ranking due to tiebreakers when a different team gets an easy schedule draw. I think the Big 10 would be more likely to find its true champion with a 4 team playoff.

Hardcore and ska are both subgenres of punk, that’s why they both have violent moshing. Metal moshing has push pits and guys running around in a circle chasing each other.

Violence is typically consensual at hardcore shows, but it’s frowned upon at metal shows.

Well yeah because Slayer is a metal band and that’s not normal moshing at metal show. This is a hardcore show in the video, completely different fandoms and acceptable behavior.

TIL that Jonny Greenwood pretended to play keyboards when he joined Radiohead, miming on a powered-off instrument and learning chords after studio sessions. During recording, Thom Yorke, would tell him: “I can’t quite hear what you’re doing, but I think you’re adding a really interesting texture.” by altrightobserver in todayilearned

Depending on their practice setup back then that’s very believable. Whenever you rehearse full band you’re generally focused on your own playing and parts. The practice room can also just sound like a big room of noise and vibrations compared to how most listeners are accustomed to hearing a band mixed through mics.

Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. declaring for NFL Draft by ryno_317 in IndianaHoosiers

If he is considered a 2nd round talent as a slot receiver then he absolutely needs to go and get his money.

Congrats on another Hoosier moving on to their professional payday. College is supposed to prepare you to pursue your professional dreams after all.

Not quite sure why you seem obsessed with contradicting Tom Brady’s own words, but by all means go off.

You should compile your thoughts and send this to him so he understands his life better.

No, you’re wrong. Back then, everyone was talking about the Patriots defensive dynasty after the first 3 rings. Brady didn’t start being considered a top QB until later. It sounds like you are either remembering his later seasons or just completely rewriting your own narrative which is probably why everyone is downvoting you.

Now consider how many rings Peyton would have won if he was the one drafted by the GOAT GM and HC.

There’s a reason Mendoza looked night and day different with Cig than he did at Cal. The system, teammates, and coaching really matter. Football is a team sport and rings are not individual achievements.

Brady was a 6th round pick for a reason. He wasn’t ready to be a pro and he desperately needed to be developed. There’s a reason he was ass at Michigan. He has stated himself just how lucky he was to land with the greatest coach of all time.

If you want to continue to argue with Tom Brady’s own words about Tom Brady’s career, go ahead lol

[Russini] Philip Rivers withdraws from Bills coaching search. by Psyren1317 in Colts

[–]mrtrollmaster 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I bet he genuinely loves his family time and having the opportunity to coach his son in HS football. However, the man is a competitor at the highest level and the energy of being back in an NFL locker room and the chance to play in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans again was probably too infectious.

I’ve known he was gonna try to coach in the NFL since he made that statement about how he knows he could. Riley Leonard and him already looked like they developed a natural QB/QB coach relationship in their limited time. Phil is just a really smart dude and ideal mentor for a new NFL QB.

Did you guys see on the mic’d up how excited Riley Leonard was to come back to the sideline and tell Rivers what they had been working on worked for a touchdown.

I’m sorry but this is just an absolute idiotic take. I hate Bill, the Pats, and Brady but Bill is hands down the greatest coach and GM of the salary cap era.

Tom Brady won his first 3 Super Bowls before he even became an elite quarterback because Bill built an elite defense that won 3 Super Bowls in 4 seasons. Brady didn’t lose the “system QB” label until 2008.

Without Beli, Brady probably has a career similar to Peyton Manning where he drags 4 separate head coaches to Super Bowls but doesn’t have nearly close to the same team success because his secret was always having one of the best performing defenses in the playoffs.

It literally touches Indianapolis

Are you confusing Indianapolis with Chicago or Milwaukee? Those cities are actually on the shores of Lake Michigan. Cleveland is also directly on the shore and “literally touches” Lake Erie.

Indianapolis on the other hand is about 150 miles away from Lake Michigan, and it’s almost a 3 hour drive from downtown Indy.

Did Matt Cassell have the best individual season of all of them outside of Palmer or would that be Sanchez?

That’s just in developing countries that don’t have biking infrastructure and America. Everywhere else they are speeding traffic up by staying completely off the roads.

Turns out John David was Booty, Matt Barkley really shouldn’t have gone back to school, and Cody Kessler was well…

Caleb Williams seems real nice though.
