It’s so hard to win it all. So much has to go right, unless of course you know the plays.

My IU fan friend says it's like the Cubs winning the WS.

The '96 Gators are no longer the most recent team to win its first NC.

Remember how many of us, especially me, decried the NIL because it benefitted the status quo more so than ever, and we believed that now, more than ever, the blue bloods would prevail? Well, it's not so. 

That said, we have few billionaires in Iowa, and they are not big billionaires. I don't think Iowa is winning a national championship any time soon unless Mark Cuban is a traitor to his school.

I was going to say fewer billionaires are in Nebraska, but I am not so sure as Warren Buffet and others associated with Berkshire-Hathaway, may be billionaires, who could purchase players for Nebraska. 

I don't think a guy financially as savvy and as financially conservative and interested in developing wealth, and being a philanthropist, as Warren Buffet, would buy a collegiate team, unless there was a profit for his company to be earned. Buffet graduated from UNL. Hmmm.

One of my IU neighbors (50s yoa) on the block just said (recently) , this just was never in the plans as a fan.........(he would always revert to the Jim Mora) classic quote  "playoffs?   playoffs?  we just want to win a bowl.   Gimme an Independence a Liberty, but playoffs? 

hard for me to place this (not that it is required to place this event in history).

Incredible.

I’ve been doing this shit since middle school when all the other kids were “Notre Dame fans” despite being just 36 miles from Memorial Stadium. I’ve watched so much shit football. I’ve loved IU through 2, 3, and 4 win seasons. I’ve sat through blowouts and close wins over MAC teams. I sat through a road loss at North Texas. I just can’t believe this. I took my son to his first IU football game in 2007 when he was 4 years old. We sat through a 41-27 home win against Akron that was closer than it should have been. He’s been a loyal IU football fan since. We watched tonight’s game together and drank beers while IU finished the most improbable season in college football history. Indiana. National Champions. In football.

Big Thumbs up! 👍

You know I know it’s easy to believe that but in reality what is the makeup of their roster?  Is it full of 5 and 4 star players?  Was Mendoza highly recruited?  I don’t even really know much else about their roster, they really just look like a bunch of hard working really disciplined team. 

i think if anything it just proves that truly any team can win, even the ones who are not the top spenders.

Simply put, it’s hard to think of a better coaching/teambuilding job in the history of American sports. It’s like this and the miracle on ice team.
