Did Tom Allen get a Gatorade bath? Why was he all wet?
 

Tough ending for the Hoosiers. They had a nice season.
And like someone was preaching on our staff here two years ago, they need to learn, and find a way to finish and close out those close games.

I noticed that during the Rose Bowl as well. I get ESPN is pro-SEC, but I don’t get how skipping the highlights because the SEC team lost makes sense. I figured their assumption is that Nationally folks aren’t that interested in either team.

The thing is they show highlights at halftime during the regular season for much less exciting games. During the Rose Bowl, they would have to only show highlights of 2 games. Instead they show highlights of 1 & an additional clip of Saban throwing fruit to his players.

Anyone else see this from SVP? I agree. The problem is the company he works for kinda helps influence this. For instance, not showing any highlights of a Big Ten team upsetting an SEC team.

 



What? I went to bed last night thinking Indiana had the game won. I looked at the game details this morning and the win probably meter got as to almost 98% for Indiana.

Van Pelts numbers seem off. I don’t believe 10-4 is correct but someone double check that. The SEC has had a better record but not that lopsided.

I did the same thing. the last thing I saw was the ESPN showing highlights of their last bowl win in 1991.

If you think our football program history was brutal, consider this. Indiana fired their Bill Mallory in 1996 after 2 losing seaons. This was after 13 seasons & 6 bowl appearances (in the era of much fewer bowls). Prior to the 2 yr slide, they finished 0.500 or above in 7 of 9 seasons. 4 of those seasons they won 5+ B10 games. Since then, Indiana has had 6 coaches with an overall record of 98-173 (0.361), and been only 4 bowl games in 24years.

Coincidentally, we fired Jim Wacker that same season (1996), and also had 6 head coaches since. we hired Glen Mason (IU hired Cam Cameron). Our record during the same period is 134-141 (0.487) with 16 bowl appearances.

Tom Allen seems to be making some good progress, but the loss last night has to be a major punch to the gut for the Indiana fanbase.

Well, first I wish Tom Allen and Indiana well but they obviously still need to rid themselves of that loser mentality. That's the new culture thing Fleck preaches. I noticed on the Indiana sideline there was nervous cheerleading from many of the coaches. It seemed odd to me. They were acting like this was the Super Bowl or something. It's hard to keep your composure at crunch time with that mentality. Just my observations anyway.
 

The Idaho Potato Bowl is about to start ... at 3:30 ET ... on a Friday.

What a dumb timeslot.

Anyone see this during the Gator Bowl last night? About when did this happen? Did the refs catch it?

Yeah. Stupid obvious move that got them penalized 5 yards. That was on 4th down I believe with Tennessee trying to run time out. It also stopped the clock so Indiana had more time to try to get a field goal if I recall correctly.

It's the only bowl today, being played in MST so a 2:30 local kickoff, when they could easily have had a 7 or 8 PM kickoff in primetime.

They follow that up tomorrow with the ARMED FORCES BOWL, in Texas, with a 10:30 AM local kickoff when there are also no more bowl games tomorrow...

And that was after the ball was spotted ... and corrected after a first down.

I don't think it was any serious shenanigans though. I suspect they weren't even going to run that play, just going to try to draw them offsides and if it didn't work punt anyway.

Still didn't even get to do that.

Thanks, my memory is in error.
 

I think I read somewhere that the SEC typically has the higher ranked team in these bowl matchups vs the B1G based on the slotting mechanisms of each conference...but I'm far too lazy to look that up.
 

Who's hyped about Tulane vs. S Miss a little later today?
