Coronation Day

The feeling in Indianapolis beforehand–in the streets, at the Slippery Noodle during a raucous pregame, and in the 3/4+ maize and blue crowd, this was not a title game. This was a coronation.

For me? It’s a mix of emotions as I’ve written about this team for over 20 years now, mostly on MVictors, and I still remember (pretty well) the days when B1G titles were on the regular. Last night HSR’s tweet hit me, where he thanked a few us of that have been in the digital foxhole for a LONG time and have seen some stuff. But if you are reading this site you saw it all too, didn’t you? I remember not so long ago when the games were such a disaster that the meltdowns on Twitter genuinely warped into a soothing form of comic relief.

I’m still in Indy, and there’s confetti on my hotel room floor because I do stuff like jam confetti in my pocket at moments like this. I’m about to pack up and bring it home. Here are a few pieces of that paper somewhere in this video of the Lucas Oil postgame celebration:

So I’ll close this short post with a huge THANK YOU to all the supporters of MVictors in its various forms who kept me going for the past two decades. We did it.
