Watching IU football all these years, I thought blowouts were boring. I am man enough to admit I was wrong, for some reason they are a lot of fun.

I can’t think of anything more shocking in sports.  It’s unreal

no matter when you went to Indiana, no matter who was coach, no matter who played, nobody has seen anything close to these last two years.  

I keep thinking of two very good friends with whom I would have been texting during this game and season who didn’t live to see this.

Yeah, I'm kind of sad my folks aren't around to see this. They were hard core fans through all the dark days.

Bill Mallory had the best years overall of any IU coach but nothing like this.

i fear my plan to live forever is in jeopardy. I vowed not to die until after IU wins a football national championship. Well, we have a contender.

@co-hoosier my season tickets are coincidentally almost exactly where my uncle sat. He and I are the only IU ones in my family of Boilers. I think of him every single game.

@zeke4ahs instead of doing Indy next year I think we’re going to get a house in Bloomington and just stay down there.  How far in advance do you think we would need to book?

I'm not sure how soon it'll be after IU wins a football championship that I'll croak over. Could be immediately after the game for all I know. So, just in case - it was nice to know all you guys. Well, sometimes nice. 😉

@mcm666 if it’s for a game as soon as the schedule comes out. Because hotels have gotten so crazy expensive on football weekends, air b n bs go quick too,

I remember how crazy and energized the town and campus was in 1967 and nobody was getting blown out. All before cable and social media and ESPN. Can only imagine how crazy it must be now. Harry Gonso, John Isenbarger, Jade Butcher, Eric Stolberg, Terry Cole, Al Gage. . . . . 

Now, I can’t watch a game without thinking it’s all going to fall apart. Too many years; too many heartbreaks and disasters. Once we get ahead by about 5 touchdowns I can finally start to breathe again.

 


Can anyone here play this game?

There aren’t enough hotel rooms in Bloomington and there weren’t before football games sold out either. I’ve had to stay in Columbus after games.

Fisher's potential injury has me really on edge
