  1. Charlie does deserve a hell of a lot of credit for the gameplan he had. Those crazy couple of drives in the second quarter where we were running Wildcat every other play and passed like twice were weird to see, but they got us two scores, without which we lose. I don't like Tenuta so far though. I know he's got the reputation, but he gets way too carried away with the blitzing and that killed us against UM and MSU. It was nice to see him back off a little bit against Purdue, and I'm certain that's part of why we held them in check until late. Jimmy and Allen need to be back next week, I don't think we'll get away against Washington the way we did last night.
  2. What do you think of Weis as a coach? I don't really know what ND fans think of him. I really want to like him. He's a decent (not great, but decent) offensive coordinator, and a fantastic recruiter. But he's made some horrible staff choices (Minter and Tenuta as DCs, John Latina as OL coach), he gets too cute way too damn often, and he completely and totally lacks the ability to finish teams off (ND lost 3 games last year in which they led by double digits in the 2nd half, and they should have 2 more such losses this year but was bailed out both times). If tonight was a sign of what we can expect to see without Floyd, it looks like that injury may finish him at Notre Dame.
  3. Notre Dame may be the first team in history to have votes in the AP poll and lose them all with two straight wins. Horrendously unimpressive. Granted, our three best players were hurt and two didn't even play, but we should have won by 20 anyway. Charlie Weis with a pretty horribly called game. That being said, I'd rather say all this crap after a win than a loss.
  4. Sigh. Of. Relief.
  5. Jimmy is quite clearly not the same. A healthy Clausen would be dissecting this team instead of being 6/13. I'd stick with running the ball or just play Crist, who looks pretty solid so far (albeit with only 1 pass attempt).
  6. Jimmy's injury is going to kill us. No way he'd have been doing shotgun on 4th and 1 otherwise.
  7. HAHA John L. Smith sighting
  8. And I think you're full of [expletive].
  9. That's what "the call stands" means. Otherwise he would've said "the call is confirmed". I thought they just said the call stands in all cases in college. I'm sure refs have said confirmed in college and I've heard it in the pros but I can't remember hearing it in college. I've heard 'confirmed' a few times in college. The Big Ten needs to do something about this, because this is embarrassing for the league. You can't just blatantly hand games to the big-ticket team in the conference without repercussion. You really think that is happening? Indiana's failure to convert and settle for fg's over and over again had nothing to do with the game. Was it a bad call, yes. Indiana failed to win this game more than anything. It's becoming increasingly hard to ignore that Michigan gets just about every game-changing call at home. Every single one. There will always be reasons that the other team should have kept it from mattering, but the fact is you shouldn't have to play a game knowing you're going to get screwed.

  11. The same thing that would possess them to ignore interference calls against us, give them extra time against PSU, etc... This game has been stolen from Indiana. shut the [expletive] up Um, no. I won't.

  13. Simultaneous catch. Good God, Big Ten refs. This is blatant.
  14. Holding called from way upfield on a kickoff return. Yep, you're in the Big House.
  15. Frankly if anyone ever calls that again, it'll make the Bush Push that much more intolerable. No, I'm not over it.
  16. Nice field goals, IU.
  17. What is going on with these snaps?
  18. Wow, where were those calls in the ND game?
  19. Tyson Lee of Miss. State is 5/13, 50 yards, 3 INT against LSU. Freaking miracle they're down only 16-14.
  20. IU will regret turning none of those 3 field goals into touchdowns.
  21. ESPN 360 rules.
  22. This game is fun. More fun if IU can jump back into the lead. :)
  23. this and the last 3 years. Yeah, that 10-3 team in 2006 whose losses were all to top 5 teams really looked like crap.
  24. Our first game without Floyd, Armando Allen may be out, and Jimmy Clausen is not 100 percent. If ever there was a lucky week for a bad team to catch Notre Dame, this is it. Even when we beat Michigan State, they still find a way to piss me off.
  25. It happens all the time.
