Semifinal No. 2: Indiana vs. Oregon

[JamesQuall]

Oh this is my first time hearing Mendoza

He is 100% an ally and personal best friend to @NYSOM

 

[BS85]

Mendoza is a great kod and a baller but dear God is he a huge nerd

 

[Gru]

Wanna punch this Mendoza cornball in the gut

 

[mrspence31]

This kid is such a ******* corny fvck! His telegraphed speeches like hes reading a script wtf mane so weird

 

[Tru C]

Mendoza is a phony. I can’t stand his type. Hope we knock his head off and make it fly
off into his parents backyard

 

[Distructobot3000]

We will be ready to roll buddy. You can be sure of that

 

[Steve44]

The media is going to be insufferable this next week…

yesss yess more of this give us as much edge as you want.

 

[P-Tizzle]

Guys., he's functionally autistic. that's how dudes on the spectrum behave. he can't help it. But saying that, I hope our boys knock his retarded *** out.

That's not nerd talk my friend

That's your girlfriends best friend that organizes quarterly brunches with mimosas on Sundays.

That's someone who loves to have his guy friends over for quiche @Empirical Cane and white wine in their pajamas.

Pull his string and then the Mendoza doll speaks cliches. Fakest punchable ventriloquist face ever. A total robot .

He literally just gave the media his own game narrative to run with this week. What other athlete is this contrived and scripted?

 

[Ray52]

talks like a weirdo but the dude can ball

Oregon basically gifted them 21 points.

Pick 6
3 yard drive
20 yard drive

Stats say it should be a one score game right now.

Mendoza is accurate though and he's mobile.

To me this is like the OSU but we won't be able to tee off on Mendoza like we did Sayin because Mendoza can run and is smarter than Sayin. There were a few sacks Sayin took when he had open guys down field.. Not sure if Mendoza makes those mistakes.

Regardless, Indiana is going to be fighting against overconfidence all week.

The difference in this game is turnovers

I have a ton of respect for what Mendoza has accomplished and how well coached IU is. That said, he's a different QB with pressure, and looking back at Ole Miss their QB and OL did a great job to neutralize our strength.

Tonight's game shows you can't turn the ball over and give up 28 points on D. Gotta make them play in a phone booth and earn every inch.

Practiced and rehearsed in front of the mirror 5 times a day for a week and then called his best friend asking him for notes and first impressions.

He's genuinely awkward and sticks to a polished script.

Nothing wrong with it, per se.

He's not all that different from Cignetti or Saban.

 

[Steve44]

Our fanbase has to show up Lets go…

 

[Distructobot3000]

I’m experiencing secondary embarrassment, fr

He does what he's asked to do really well. Our job is to make him do something else.

 

[PlanoCane]

I almost feel bad for Mendoza. His mom must be proud.

One that watches the scripted ESPN talking heads and wants to be them one day.

Awkward as he might be, kid has a plan and people in his ear how to get there.
