2025-26 Championship: Indiana vs Miami

[longtimefan]

IU better hope they don't need those two TOs they burned.

But each of those TO's led to a play call that converted a 4th down. Seems like a good trade off.

Anybody know just how much Cuban spent for them? Is this a victory against NIL or for NIL, I don’t know.

I still think Cuban was late to the donor pool

Fitting that Indiana had big plays in all 3 phases to win. 4th down qb draw, interception at the end of the game, and blocked punt for a score.

I am very glad that Miami gave Indiana the best game of the playoff. A team outside of the supposed power conferences.

Classic that after the game is over my feed is full of Big10 tales of 3 years in a row. I think what is more telling is how they are different teams in a row. In my opinion there are no power conferences and it has always been the best teams in said conferences that win.

I found it also very interesting that all other champions between 1997 and the last night had previously won a national championship. Florida was the last program to win their first title in 1996. It is nice to have new teams in the mix.

I’m really happy for Indiana - I didn’t realize that their last B1G title was 1967 lol. That’s a long wait and I felt Curt Cignetti did a master class with how to build a program in this era and not be a dick about it.

Couldn’t care less about Mitamperami - I hope they and their $10m tampered QB fall flat on their faces next year.

We have about a dozen guys on our team capable of the same behavior - bad move for sure but never know what led up to it either.

My late son went to IU and I was decked out in the attire he gave me. So happy for the Hoosiers.

First football NC in my house since my/my wife's Orange in '59. Hoping I don't have to go another 66 years to see another one. Fran and my younger son's Ducks are on the clock.
