2025 College Football Thread: James Franklin decides losing big games wasn’t quite enough (13 Viewers)

[heckmanm]

I hate everything

Plenty of time!

Definitely not counting my chickens. Or ducklings or whatever.

Well maybe now?

 

[The General]

IU defense needs their own turnover

Oh baby

 

[The General]

I don’t understand IU being good at football. This is blowing my mind.

I haven't thought about Indiana since Antwaan Randle El. This is definitely odd.

since former Packers great Anthony Thompson for me

Bill Mallory

 

[General Malaise]

Oh well.

 

[heckmanm]

Yet again. UO should be jumping around on every snap

 

[Osaurus]

Oh well.

Now imagine being a Wyoming fan

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Franklin gone now? Hope not

[The General]

Oh well.

I won’t accept your reverse jinx.

 

[identikit]

Big 3rd down here

No more false starts please

 

[General Malaise]

I will be rooting for IU from here on out. Great team.

 

[heckmanm]

Short I think

 

[identikit]

What a break...wow

You’re acting like Oregon’s season is over.

 

[The General]

Ok we have gotten many breaks from the officials in 2nd half

Made our own luck too

Probably the most disappointing OUTX game of my fandom. 15 games this one is the worst. At least the 49-0 loss we knew we sucked and everyone was hurt.

Apparently the oddsmakers and betting public suffer the same misunderstanding.

Evened out from the first half

They had one 9 win season in my life. I get it!

I feel like the camera angle on the first down call was a bit misleading. The camera was on the 10 yard line looking back to the 20.

PSU, Eagles and Phillies on a bad collective run. Dear old friend of mine is big on all three teams - I’m just leaving him alone for now and resisting the urge to talk ####.

I feel like I'm in bizarro world

Venables should go. He's a phenomenal DC and a garbage HC.

 

[Jayded]

How did OU lose to this Texas team? Yikes, just checking in after volunteering for the day. And Indiana is traveling well to Autzen?

My business partner took his two sons to their first college football game today. He's a PSU alum. About a 4 hour drive from where he lives. But that's cool, he took delivery yesterday of his new tricked out SUV, so he was kind of looking forward to the drive.

He just called me from the parking lot, to tell me someone plowed into the back of his car at the game.

 

[heckmanm]

Woulda been nice to get inside 2 minutes but I’ll take the points

 

[heckmanm]

And Indiana is traveling well to Autzen?

You could say that, yes.

Drew Allar is not even college level QB material let alone NFL caliber. You can't tell me whoever the backup is can be any worse.

 

[identikit]

Turn out the lights ....

 

[crushedspirit]

Aside from all those pre snap issues, that IU oline played well vs a legit D front

Absolutely garbage coaching is how

 

[The General]

Speechless

 

[massraider]

Turnovers killed them, plus that punt return.

Mateer was...pretty not great today

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

One heck of a win Indiana

 

[crushedspirit]

Moore crumbled under the pressure late while Mendoza bounced back strong after his mistake

 

[heckmanm]

Can’t quite kneel it out though can they? Should be ~40 seconds left after 3rd down?

Worst week in PA sports probably in decades. As a Masshole living in NJ, it's good times, good times

 

[Jayded]

Oof Penn State. I mean James Franklin is kinda like giving the program the death penalty, right?

 

[Boston]

What an impressive effort by Indiana.

 

[whoknew]

Cignetti must be the best coach in college football.

 

[identikit]

Love Cignetti

 

[whoknew]

Whoa - Drew Aller out for the season.

 

[Osaurus]

ND moving up the rankings

 

[Chadstroma]

If Franklin survives this season it will because of 56 million reasons.

 

[higgins]

Congrats to Hoosier fans everywhere!!!!
