This video of my reaction to the greatest play in Colts' history popped up in my FB memories. #neverforget

I know it's hard not to react to the weekly College Football Playoff rankings but it's really a waste of energy to react to the weekly College Football Playoff rankings.

@SchutteDustin 100000%

“But the Colts have no receivers left”

[Zach Osterman @ZachOsterman]

Attendance grabbed attention at IU-Syracuse on Monday night. It reflected a sport that's responded to a crisis by going to war with itself, destroying its greatest asset in an effort to save itself. Scenes like that are the residual damage.

@NaptownWiseman @CrimsonCast They definitely came in low at 11th, but it was argued that was because they didn’t have a true high-quality win. Now they do. I see a lot of gripes with the risers/fallers and placement of other teams but not that one.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@sheffler_clint Glad you got to move up at least!

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

Is there apathy in the fanbase? Of course (and there should be)! But a $85 get-in-the-door neutral site game on a Monday to see two programs just trying to get back to being NCAA Tournament teams again is an insane ask.

Even if it was Knight-Boeheim I'm not sure I'd pay that.

[Chet Steadman @beanfloppy]

@Schultz975 Ticket prices, inconvenient start times, snow storms, extreme heat, blah blah blah. IU fans always have a list of excuses why so many of their events are half empty

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@SportzR4Girlz Exactly!

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@kylerrobbins Wouldn't their pre-established logic have told you IU wasn't going to drop five spots during a bye week, though?

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@kylerrobbins My point is can we speak in absolutes on anything this committee does when they seem to make this stuff up as they go along? I wouldn't say IU is definitely out in that hypothetical knowing that there will be multiple 3-loss teams under consideration.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

It is not designed to make sense. It is designed to get people to react.

@PhilSanchezTV Agree that the more rational thing to do is to trade him, but if they weren’t blown away by any offers, I don’t think waiting for a new GM to make that decision will totally nuke his trade value.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

Selfishly, I'm glad Jonathan Taylor is staying (at least for now) just so there is someone left to watch.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@Ozai75 I didn’t interpret that as meaning a 4th round pick swap, but the wording is vague so who knows.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

Ehhhhhhhhhhh... that's not great

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

Sources: The #Colts had an offer for DT Grover Stewart last week involving a 4th-round pick and another late-round pick, but waited on it and it was ultimately pulled.

Indy keeps Stewart, who will be a free agent in March.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

@JayVeeThree I mean... even if it was just a 4, I don't know how you don't hit accept immediately.

[Derek Schultz @Schultz975]

Great deal for the Colts for a player who absolutely had to go.

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Trade! The Chiefs are acquiring WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts for 2027 fourth-round and fifth-round picks, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Kansas City lands a receiver at the buzzer, while Indianapolis keeps loading up for the future.
