Amazing coaching by Cig! Look at how his lineman took that guy out of the play in a clearly legal fashion. No flags.

How in God's name does an officiating crew miss that?

Still not clear how they got the nickname Hoosiers lol

One theory is it is a derogatory term used to describe the men who worked on teh river boats that traversed the state.

Truth be told, I don't really want to get to know Indiana. All I want is for the Canes to whip some *** with the belt--leaving no doubt who #1 is--and running them all out of town (of course, after their fans have poured all of their dollars into the SoFla economy)

I don't want to get to know them. I just want to see them suffering in despair and anguish tomorrow night.

I don't think their is a official meaning for Hoosier other than someone from Indiana. The campus is nice and it's a good school. We are about to end this fairy tale they are riding.

It was the 1800s fancy way of saying “Pillow Biter”. The origin of the phrase was that men from Indiana have a predisposition for taking it up the tailpipe, with the “giver” yelling “Who’s your daddy”.

Through linguistic drift “Who’s your daddy” eventually became “Hoosier Daddy”, and finally in modern times it was shortened to “Hoosier.”

They didn’t play Michigan this season. Wisconsin was beaten 31-7 and they were 4-8, one of there best wins? Who wrote this article?? Am I tripping?

 

[cf3000]

Expect a lot of that tomorrow

So where I’m from it’s a very derogatory term similar to redneck or white trash. Of course people I know from Indiana get upset with me when I use it like that lol.

Their left tackle holds like a mother ******. I have a feeling we will be frustrated all night with the no calls.
