Just How Remarkable Was Indiana's 2025 Season? Indiana’s Cinderella-like transformation from perpetual basement dweller into national champion was an astonishing story line in the 2025 college football season. But how remarkable were they really?

Popping my head in from a self-imposed social media hiatus to share this. The question of just how amazing Indiana's 2025 season hasn't left my brain since it was posed by @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social . So I tried to answer the question the best way I know how: poorly and with charts.

“As woke as Bill Kristol” is the FLOOR for Dems who want my vote.

But you do see! Indeed, you note trouble and grief,
that you may take it into your hands;
the helpless commit themselves to you;
you have been the helper of the orphan.

—Psalm 10

They think in their heart, “God has forgotten; he has hidden his face; he will never see it.”
Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the oppressed.
Why do the wicked renounce God and say in their hearts, “You will not call us to account”?

—Psalm 10

Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor—
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

—Psalm 10

Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
under their tongues are mischief and iniquity.
They sit in ambush in the villages;
in hiding places they murder the innocent.

—Psalm 10

Yeah my worry is like yours, how long will it take people to wake up instead of hitting the snooze alarm.

Coach we need a quarterback not a game manager. Step up or step out of the way.

If you ain’t on the money cannon team you better be on team PTKU.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Excuse me. That would go on my resume as “Undefeated at the highest levels”

abolishing immigration and customs enforcement is the absolute floor for any nominee that gets my vote, and every single activist and donor and every single regular joe like me needs to say it from their nose to their toes.

abolishing immigration and customs enforcement is the floor. kill it.

This just broke me. Like I seriously need to log off now.

Line starts at the back no matter how much time you accrued at the other job.

Bishops notching up the wins today:

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

Well my neighbor is Georgia, and Georgia is a verb, so this math checks out.

And this tactic ALREADY FAILED in out last governor's election.

It's been a dark week, but I just saw someone reply to an "Abolish ICE" post with a scoldy Bluesky "Uh, try abolish DHS" and that joy will sustain me for a little while.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A SOCIALIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A TRADE UNIONIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A JEW. THEN THEY CAME FOR ME- AND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME. MARTIN NIEMOLLER

If only someone had spoken a very famous quotation about this very thing when the original nazis were around so that people would know!

This is going to be the race for Florida governor this year where it's very likely we'll see a MAGA guy vs. a guy who was a Republican congressman only 9 years ago.

Rep. Castor, do you REALLY think this is the most important issue going on right now?

Because as your constituent I'll be honest it's not even close to my number one right now.

This was kid3 for us. First two lured us into complacency and the kid3 almost broke us.

Careful, I've seen accounts get a second block over this for "block evasion".
