But why would he? He has a no pressure job where he is being at a school that had no expectations to be this good in football.

I'm fairly sure he's referencing a big debate thread from earlier in the year where there were some steadfastly arguing he wasn't a good coach / benefited from a schedule (that "even Arkansas could go undefeated playing) / wouldn't be good enough to be an SEC team's coach...it lasted for quite a while (maybe more than a month?) until IU beat Ohio State in their conference championship game.

Oregon has to win a big game for me to actually think they can win. Oregon is a historical big game choker

It blows my mind that Indiana was 3-9 in 2023, then 11-2 one year later and now 14-0 with wins over Oregon and Ohio State and completely embarrassed Alabama. How does a coach turn around a program so quickly?

So you moving the goalposts. Earlier you said this:



So you backing off that now? Also you said Oregon didn't look like world beaters earlier.

I wasn’t sure Indiana was the real deal. They did win at Oregon by 10, beat Ohio State and won decent road games at Iowa and Penn State when IU didn’t play that well. Still, I wanted to see them against a team I knew better. Not only are they the real deal, they look like the best team in the country. Who else would beat Bama like this?

I hope that Indiana embarrasses Alabama. Forget the SEC loyalty. Who cares?

Well, 38-3. You got your wish. Alabama got absolutely spanked in every area of the game.

No - it is a rematch - rematches typically favor the team that lost.

That's a fair take.

We’ll leave the light on for ya.

What a glorious beatdown lol

80% of their team is from the portal.

Great coaches. Great at spotting talent and character from the portal. Great execution by the team and coaches. Indiana sure makes EVERY other coaching staff look bad.

Man Deboer probably needs to find another job for his safety

Saban picked with his heart rather than use his head and his former team took ass kicking.

Rational Bama fans? I would have never known.

The next Paul is going to be epic.

Yes it will. Heard them crowing last week about “being back”. Well if being “back” means getting whooped like a red headed stepchild’s rented mule then I guess they are.

IU is definitely for real. Danny Dollars needs to go offer him $20M. He has resurrected an absolutely dead program. I’m not sure there’s ever been a better coaching job from where IU was.

The transfer portal.

There looks to be at least 2 of them. Probably just moved to the state.

Mendoza just said - "It's hard to be the same team twice...."

They will process the stigma as a team, for sure.

Only Northwestern has lost more football games than Indiana. Over 700 losses.

It's insane

Mendoza likes the camera way more than most college players. I wonder if he's a media major.
