Holy goosebumps.
No matter what football or any other IU sport accomplishes in the future, we'll never again enjoy a ride this special.
First time is always special.
@gthomas - I agree. Winning will still be amazing (obviously) but combining those wins with that sense of complete and utter shock, simply will never be replicated. You can't remanufacture a lifetime of losing and erase from our memory, what we just witnessed. Collectively we didn't think it was possible to do everything we did this year, so we not only enjoyed those wins as any fanbase would, but we did that while in complete disbelief. It's impossible to paint that emotional portrait for those who haven't intently followed this program for a while.
I thought this was really well done.
