BTW, what exactly is a Hoosier?

Tires man. Tires.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

It shows you how low he is as a reporter because he couldn’t get a real interview and it resulted in gathering quotes off of a sports board.

BTW, what exactly is a Hoosier?

Its a tire!

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I'm guessing very few people read IndyStar.

Not to go all NS, but the Indy Star was once owned by Dan Quayle's maternal grandfather, Eugene Pulliam.

Worse, he baited to get those quotes.

He was the guy that came here and stated that Georgia was the only good team in the SEC...

 

[DzynKingRTR]

What ring?

The one they got for playing up north in November.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

An analyst on ESPN this morning said Indiana was going to "blowout" Alabama. That this game is the most sure lock of all the matchups. He basically said we're horrible.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I can 100% understand, "I'm picking Indiana to win."

I cannot wrap my head around, "The Alabama team that lost to UGA and the first quarter of the OU game is the REAL Alabama," as if the five worst quarters we've played since Labor Day wash away anything good we did.

They keep comparing us with the national championship era teams at Alabama - that's how they're drawing their conclusions. And we don't have that coach or level of dominance.

But neither does Indiana, Gregg.

 

[M Squires]

TBF Finebaum made his start in print by going after Alabama coaches. More or less him and Skip Bayless invented the concept when print was a thing.

If you are arguing that Doyle is a Joesph Goodman type then fine. But atleast Doyle seeks some sorta research to back a dumb over the top take

Yes! Well stated.

An analyst on ESPN this morning said Indiana was going to "blowout" Alabama. That this game is the most sure lock of all the matchups. He basically said we're horrible.

Yes, and he cited the UGA game (but only the 2nd one) and the first quarter against Oklahoma.

I mean, it's one thing to pick against us but COME ON!!!

Indiana couldn't even blow out Penn State, who had just fired their coach.

I love how:
a) the 2nd UGA game is the real Alabama AND
b) the Illinois game is the REAL Indiana

 

[FF4bama]

Hoosier fans (M Squires excepted) and media are feeding their own team rat poison. I doubt their coaches and players are paying any attention to it, but you can bet Ty and company are. Keep talking, folks. One thing most of us Bama fans have learned over the years is this: the only thing worse than a humiliating defeat by a supposedly inferior opponent is having to eat all those crow sandwiches after the game.

Not to go all NS, but the Indy Star was once owned by Dan Quayle's maternal grandfather, Eugene Pulliam.

Did Dan’s grandfather know how to spell “potato”?

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

WHAT. Soo my first thought is, was this guy the IU fan going on and on in the Rose Bowl thread??

 

[uafan4life]

Oh, I knew what I was doing.

It sounds like something you'd pay a lady of the evening for...

 

[FF4bama]

Did Dan’s grandfather know how to spell “potato”?

Which one? An African or a European potato?

 

[OconeeTide]

Imagine being a "news reporter" and having to go to message boards and try to bait people for material...








Get a grip man.

 

[Elefantman]

It sounds like something you'd pay a lady of the evening for...

That still involves a tire.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

BTW, what exactly is a Hoosier?

A Gene Hackman movie.

 

[81usaf92]

BTW, what exactly is a Hoosier?

Probably the same concept as a Yinzer.
