basketball subplot is full of nightmares

Not tonight Satan. Not tonight. We’ve got three more months of that dumpster fire.

u/KentConnor Tennessee Volunteers Jan 20 '26

Nothing that happens before the Super Bowl matters in Basketball.

Basketball season starts in February.

You can't change my mind

u/OG_Felwinter Michigan State Spartans Jan 20 '26

For a Tennessee fan like yourself or an MSU fan like myself, sure. Making it to March is an expectation for fans like us. For a lot of other fans, the rest of the season does matter.

Harambe sheds a single tear in heaven. It’s over. He can finally rest. The timeline has been saved.

If that's gonna fix itself, I better wake up tomorrow with front page news i been waiting for.

u/jackimus_prime Auburn Tigers • Michigan Wolverines Jan 20 '26

The Headline.

u/twoinvenice USC Trojans • Paper Bag Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26

Comrade, the obituaries are towards the back of the paper.

Edit to add the old Soviet era joke for people who haven’t heard it because I’m being downvoted:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn't buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he's up to.

Guy says: "looking for an obituary."

Vendor says "those are towards the back of the paper, comrade."

Guy says: "not the one I'm looking for."

u/Greyletter Texas A&M Aggies Jan 20 '26

It is possible

u/u-s-u-r-p Nebraska Cornhuskers • Stanford Cardinal Jan 20 '26

which is why Nebraska is going to win the NCAA Tournament

5

u/gistya Texas Longhorns • Reed Griffins Jan 20 '26

They also have to go undefeated for it to count

2

u/u-s-u-r-p Nebraska Cornhuskers • Stanford Cardinal Jan 20 '26

u/midnightsbane04 Michigan • North Carolina Jan 20 '26

Technically true, all Cheetos do have an expiration date. Just for much longer than is healthy for anyone.

u/HilariousScreenname Arizona State Sun Devils Jan 20 '26

Indiana won a Natty before we got GTA6

u/RawChickenButt Ohio State Buckeyes Jan 20 '26

With the way things are right now... Probably both.

u/serendipity_aey Oregon Ducks Jan 20 '26

We can’t possibly jump to an even worse timeline…right? RIGHT?!

u/80hawks Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jan 20 '26

It might be worse. The universe could end whenever the IU fan decides to turn off the video games

u/Skwonkie_ Notre Dame • Indiana Jan 20 '26

Oh god

u/rixxxand Jan 20 '26

Eh the last time something this shocking happened for sports was what. 2016? A notoriously uneventful year where nothing history changing happened

1

u/Wesley11803 Indiana Hoosiers Jan 20 '26

Well that’s a scary fucking thought, but definitely more plausible than IU winning a football championship. I’m officially scared now lol.

u/fastpony12 Cincinnati • Virginia Tech Jan 20 '26

By beating, in a row.... Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami. If somebody wrote this as a story it would sound ridiculous.

u/Obsessivefrugality Indiana Hoosiers Jan 20 '26

It can be done!

u/chatoboi Army Black Knights • Ohio State Buckeyes Jan 20 '26

Genuinely the biggest turnaround I’ve ever seen. What a dream

IU fan here. Still not believing it. There's gonna be a rug pull

1

u/Salzvatik1 Tennessee Volunteers • UCF Knights Jan 20 '26

Not this time, buddy. This time it’s all you guys alone on top of the world. Enjoy it! 

1

u/Organic-Storm-4448 Oregon Ducks Jan 21 '26

There certainly was a rug pull. The IU rug left quite the ass burn on its opponents' cheeks.

u/onamonapizza Texas Longhorns Jan 20 '26

FLAG! Excessive celebration!

2

u/rydan Texas Longhorns Jan 20 '26

They should remake Hoosiers except it is this.

2

u/JackSpadesSI Jan 20 '26

Yup, because IU is a football school. Also, Nebraska is a basketball school. This is normal.

3

u/GERBILSAURUSREX Indiana Hoosiers Jan 20 '26

Before Purdue. In EITHER sport.

Hello, I’m a time traveler. I’m not interested in basketball. How do I learn about the college football champions?

1

u/awmaleg Iowa Hawkeyes • Arizona State Sun Devils Jan 20 '26

In football nonetheless

1

u/Prophet92 Kansas Jayhawks • Wisconsin Badgers Jan 20 '26

I’m pretty sure if you did that shit in a video game you’d get a prompt to up the difficulty level because it’s not realistic

You guys might just grow to resent this moment!
