CFP & Bowl Games

[MoCoMdIllini]

Indiana 31
Alabama 3

Imagine thinking that 3 years ago…

Around this time the game felt like it might end up 52 - 3.

It would have if IU kept playing.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Bama fans have to be kicking themselves that they missed out on the Cignetti Sweepstakes two years ago to IU and had to settle for DeBoer.

Bama fans would be irrate had they settled for some guy from JMU to replace the godfather.

Go Mississippi

Would be ironic if they are the SEC's survivors....

Though I am doubtful.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Could you imagine how insufferable Indiana fans would be if they own the only undefeated seasons in both basketball and football?!?!

However, I love that a non traditional power is doing well but also a bit jealous of them. So conflicted on this as I also want a Big Ten team to win the natty. Ah sports…

UCLA once had an 88 game winning streak in basketball. They had 2-3 undefeated seasons in that stretch.

Ole Miss’ new coach looks like a car salesman who works part time as a high school coordinator.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Oregon needs to do the "right" thing...just forfeit the game

Maybe they meant between our 2 schools? If not, there's been many undefeated football seasons...

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

It's so great hearing Kirk Herbstreit having to talk about this being embarrassing for Bama. You can just hear the strain in his voice not wanting to talk about Bama and the SEC that way.

Herbstreit played at Ohio State and is very pro Big Ten. He might be the best analyst in football. He's phenomenal doing the marquee college games and the Thursday Night NFL games.

I don't get the vibe that he's leaning one way or the other.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

can any one school claim undefeated seasons with nattys in both sports ?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ole Miss helmets are noice.

It's great to see he has a new dog, too.

 

[TheChief4Life]

That’s not pass interference?

yea re dog

I have a golden retriever , Gunnar , who’s now 5. ws got him 5 months after our previous golden retriever, Chief passed away at age 8 from lymphoma. it’s the best way to deal with the grief — get another golden retriever.

truly man’s best friend . mine hates to be more than 10ft away from me at any time other than running full tilt for a tennis ball flung 100ft from a chuckit wand at the park

Cancer sucks.

Cancer sucks.

it does . sadly it effects a lot of goldens

This post drives a mostly accurate view but it didn't totally hold up when I fact checked it. Alabama had 193 yds today vs. IU. The Illini had 161 yds when IU beat us. I guess we could say Illinois football is close to Alabama football.

Thanks for the chuckle. Was it just last year he was so anti Indiana?

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Friend of a friend of mine brought up a great comp. Mendoza gives off Andrew Luck vibes when he's interviewed after the game.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Georgia Ole Miss a good game so far. Team speed is on display

 

[WeWillWhen]

 

[CentralILLini]

Rooting for Ole Miss here (not in the Minority outside of Georgia Im sure).

I actually think we could have beaten Alabama this year, if just barely. They were overrated.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Horrendous tackling by MISS.

I'll be rooting for Oregon.
