College football week 13 thread: The Adventures of Buckeye Banzai Across the Big 10th Dimension

The problem was adding the end zone to the upper deck. That took capacity from 42,000 (plausible) to 60,000 (delusional).

 

And thus it ends for Indiana.

Or ...maybe not?

 

They do host big-name concerts at Scott Stadium, so that was probably a consideration as well.

 

I believe the word "Hoosiers" appears only once or twice in the movie.

 

At least "Breaking Away" is not only about the university but also filmed around Bloomington.

 

Hoosiers giving out Christmas gifts early. Nice hands, IU punter.

 

I mean, 14-7 at the half on a special teams breakdown is as Big 10 Novemberish as it gets. Not done yet.

 

“First three drives for Tennis Elbow … uh Tennessee.”

Too late ESPN Plus announcer. That’s now their name forevermore.

 

Not sure if I’ve ever rooted for the Michigan football team in my life. I despise the Wolverines. But I’ll be hoping they win next weekend.

Make it three straight against Ryan Day and his punchable face.

 

Chip Kelly was never svelte but he’s creeping up on Mangino territory.

 

“Hoosier” is St. Louiseze for a Florida man from Illinois.

A jag. A schwantz. A Hoosier.

 

You could make a case that even an 11-1 Indiana doesn't deserve a playoff spot. They've beaten no ranked team and have failed miserably in their first big test.

They'll probably make it but I don't know if they could beat anyone in the top 20.
