@MattGlenesk Mich hasn’t won the natty yet, and I hope they do. Though I can’t help watching them play and picturing them in cream and crimson uniforms.

God: Indiana fans, we're going to let you win a football national championship. IU fans: Fantastic! What will it cost us? God: Braylon Mullins vs. Dusty May for a national championship... in Indy.

@SBSpencer719 @MattGlenesk Sarah, you are exactly right on this one!

@MattGlenesk No no no ... it was everything leading up to it. Hali achilles tear in game 7 of the NBA finals. CC groin injury that took her out of the majority of 2025 WNBA season. DJ achilles tear when the Colts had the best record in the NFL. 🥴

@BBGreatMoments @bluubodean Too bad Votto couldn’t have played on a winning team so everyone could see what an amazing player her was. Liked watching him hit almost as much as I liked watching Greg Maddux pitch.

Joey Votto refused to step out of the batter’s box against Derek Lowe. Human pitch clock years before it became a thing.

@MarcD1075 You gotta be happy to be so relevant the last several years. Very few ever win it all. I’d rather my team be a contender every year than win it all and then stink out loud for a long time. Better for fans.

Curious what the overall vibe will be from Purdue fans. Happy for this stretch of the Edey/Smith eras or disappointed by the lack of a national championship?

@ThatEricAlper I talked with Michael Hutchence for a few minutes after an INXS concert in Atlanta.

Who is the most famous musician you have ever spoken to?

@TheBigTenHuddle Bo Nix?

@JeffRabjohns Ecstatic we are a football school now. If only we’d picked up Dusty May, we’d have it all😭😭

Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson always wanted to properly fund football, knowing IU could win. With Pam Whitten's backing, that's happening — and IU has a 16-0 national title, 2 CFP appearances & 27 wins the past 2 seasons & the nation's longest home winning streak. #iufb

@sarrattattack13 @TreyKnowsBall Agree. When you are on the road in the BigTen, especially if you are the underdog, keep it close and maybe you can pull it off in the end if the home team tenses up

@TreyKnowsBall Hopefully we keep it close

How are we feeling about today? #iubb

@LanceMcAlister Popeye Jones Turbo Richards Spud Webb Dick Butkus Mugsy Bogues

Heard an Olympic commentator say gold medal winner Breezy Johnson had the coolest name in skiing since Picabo Street. That got me thinking about the coolest names in sports over the years! How about: Coco Crisp Peerless Price Major Applewhite Kool Aid McKinstry Jizzle James Gunner Kiel God Shammgod Sonny Sixkiller Michael Stonebreaker Milton Bradley And..........?

@jack_roemer @DelphiBrackets I hope we can hold at home and win two in the BigTen tournament. Even if we get an 8 or 9 seed, it’d be awesome to get in considering new coach, new players, and how we played against Lville, Minn, & Iowa.

@DelphiBrackets How good do you think that IU would have to finish to get onto the 7 line? Feel like 8/9 is death this year with how good the 1s are

Here is our most recent seed list. Man the 10/11 line is quite messy.

@ThatEricAlper Stone Temple Pilots opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers & 10,000 Maniacs opened for REM

Have you ever been to a concert where the support act went on to become famous?

@mrmikeMTL I still remember both my folks’ numbers, one of my grandparent’s, my girlfriend’s, and the time & temperature number.

Does anyone who grew up before social media still remember their parents’ landline number?

@Litwitom @HoosierHystrcs @IndianaFootball I think you may be right. The Doug Flutie TD throw was incredible too, but it didn’t mean as much. When I see videos of people watching this Mendoza video for the first time, their reactions seem like they are all amazed. I know I was.

@HoosierHystrcs @IndianaFootball I am not an Indiana fan but can say that this is the greatest play in college football history.

We proudly present the definitive video of "The Run". Ward took the best of the brilliant videos from so many incredible Hoosier fans and created this sensational piece. ENJOY! And I dare you to not get goosbumps and teary-eyed when we see Fernando's parents. @indianafootball

@TheIndianaBison The BigTen wanted these big time west coast teams, so we should have to play on their schedule. When the west coast teams come east to play a 6pm start, their fans are still at work. 10pm start times are a pain, but they are fair.

BAN WEST COAST 10 PM B1G TIP OFF TIME

@SMB_Attorney Why does it have to be the greatest of anything? Can’t we just enjoy the amazing special moment and season without trying to rank it? It’s like trying to pick the best song or movie or band or team. It was a hell of a story, though!

With a week to reflect, I’m convinced this was the greatest moment in sports history. A 2-star recruit leads the worst program ever to a national championship, beats his hometown team that wouldn’t let him walk on, and finishes it by running over the same guy who knocked him out the year before, with his mother battling MS watching from the stands. If it was a Disney movie, you’d say it was too much.

@AssemblyCall Looking back, the bye week between Iowa and Oregon appeared to be a much needed two weeks to rest and regroup.

It's so cool to just be able to -- at any moment -- dial up a memory from when my alma mater went 16-0 and won a national championship with one of the most memorable, likable, and dominant college football teams of all time.

@woodyVSworld @downs2business Ohio St will have a chance to back up all this talk in October in Bloomington

“If y’all had another shot at Indiana would y’all win?” Caleb Down and Carnell Tate: “Yes”

@ThatEricAlper Maybe Van Morrison

Which artist’s voice changed over time in a way that made their music better?

@crimsonquarry After only losing to ND & Ohio St on the road last year, I was hopeful. Then the win at Oregon told me we were one of the best teams in the nation. Then the Penn St game scared me. Then the Big10 Championship made me believe we could win it all.

real talk when and what was the moment you believed indiana could win a national title this season
