@Fil_Beev @Indy_reporter_ Non-educational? 😂 sounds like they have a better civics education than you ever had

@Indy_reporter_ Everyone missing class better have unexcused absences. Our tax dollars hard at work here for noneducational purposes. Knock it off.

Noblesville Highschool having their own walkout on Feb 2.

@SecScottBessent ICE is exactly why we have the second amendment!

@secnumbersguy Looks like the SEC finds every excuse to cry about being losers.

The Indiana National Championship celebration is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. The Big Ten is a poverty conference.

@MicahBeckwith Just like they would with any other peaceful protest.

Why does Carmel High allow excused absences for students who want to protest our good men and women of law enforcement??

@nicksortor @Speedway I’m shopping more @Speedway!

🚨 JUST IN: A Speedway near Minneapolis just KICKED OUT Commander Bovino and his crew as they went in for snacks Hey @Speedway, is it your policy to DENY service to federal law enforcement officers? You’re going to end up getting Bud Lighted. FIX THIS!

I read Trump’s Davos witterings so you don’t have to. These are the ten biggest bullshits. Pick your winner.

130 schools said no. He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway. Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami. He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed. So did FIU. So did FAU. So did everyone else. At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs. Not one FBS offer. His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path. Everyone told him to be “realistic.” “Know your place.” “Be grateful.” He didn’t listen. Because Mendoza understood something most people miss: The worst outcome isn’t failing. It’s never getting the chance to try. Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang. Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools. He took it. He arrived as the third-string quarterback. Spent a year on the scout team. Lost his first four starts. Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line. Still got up. Every time. Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him. So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes. He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history. People laughed. “Career suicide.” “Graveyard program.” “Nobody wins there.” One coach told him something different: “I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.” That was enough. Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football. His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years. Before every snap, he thought of her. “My mother is my why.” Indiana went 16–0. Beat six Top-10 teams. Won their first Big Ten title since 1945. Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns. Won the Heisman—first in school history. First Cuban-American to ever do it. Then came the title game. Miami. Near his hometown. Fourth-and-4. Season on the line. Quarterback draw. The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone. Game over. Indiana—national champions. The losingest program became the best team in America. All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end. Rankings don’t decide your ceiling. Gatekeepers don’t write your ending. Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point. Sometimes all you need is one shot… and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will. Don’t quit. Credit: Barclay Mullins

🚨 Something feels very off about this 🚨 Here is the first footage of Air Force One being forced to make what they are claiming was a “minor emergency landing” over “an electrical issue” ⚠️ Very weird energy. Don’t like it at all. Praying all is well with President Trump!

This is what it feels like to be the top of the college football world

A storybook ending to a title tale for the ages 👏

This.

Safe to say Bloomington ain’t sleeping tonight

@AnneKiehle @allenanalysis Excellent, I’m tired of seeing and hearing MAGA/NAZI creeps when I travel

@allenanalysis That’s too bad. No more Hilton for our family!

BREAKING: ICE agents with rooms booked at the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown St. Paul were reportedly notified their reservations were canceled as the hotel announced a temporary closure, citing “heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul.”
