I like this Mendoza kid , he will go far in life regardless of if he makes it in the NFL. The kid has a good character , he'll be a good role model for kids that look up to him . Good human being from what I've seen .
Paul Finebaum is the worst yapper I’ve ever heard !
The national folks who are saying that game didn't matter can pound sand. I have waited 50 years for Saturday night to happen, and to have it unfold like it did, I am still crying real tears.
That was the most intense 2 defenses I have seen play each other.
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers 😊 So proud of my Hoosiers
As a Hoosier born and bred. Thank you for the moment CIG and the boys! I’ll tell my grandkids about this one!
Mendoza got his first scholarship offer from Yale but got a full offer from Cal he's a smart kid
When I was an undergrad in business school I had a prof who asked this question… What happens when the man with money meets the man with experience? He answered, “the man with the experience gets the money and the man with the money gets the experience. Coach Cig is the man with the experience. He’s got 20 years on Ryan Day and it showed.
IU's defense is incredibly good at disallowing yards after catch. They put the receiver down immediately in most cases.
I, for the rest of myself, am able to say I was there when Indiana (2) defeated Ohio State (1) in the Big Ten Championship Game.
