Jenny Taft’s five-word message, “so proud of our crew” lit up fans as Ohio State vs Indiana shattered multiple records, turning the Big Ten showdown into a primetime spectacle.

Indiana just cashed in its biggest win since before the Super Bowl era. The Hoosiers finally took down Ohio State for their first Big Ten crown since 1967, and honestly, it felt like destiny. Ever since Curt Cignetti swaggered onto campus two years ago and dropped his blueprint for flipping the losingest program in college football, IU’s been grinding like a team on a mission. Even

And on a storybook night just 50 miles from home, the Hoosiers finished the climb. They outlasted No. 1 Ohio State 13–10 in a heavyweight slugfest between two undefeated squads. Indiana didn’t just beat the top dog; they became the top dog.

Their knack for clutch-time wins has them staring down a potential No. 1 seed and a Rose Bowl trip in the College Football Playoff. With a second straight CFP appearance locked in, the Hoosiers are leaning all the way into their “unshakeable” mantra as they chase a finish for the history books.

And it’s not just Indiana fans vibing off this W, even the broadcast crew is riding the high. The Big Ten title tilt delivered monster numbers, averaging 18.3 million viewers and peaking at nearly 20 million between 11:00 and 11:15 PM ET. That makes it FOX’s third most-watched non-bowl college football game ever. Jenny Taft even jumped on Instagram to repost FOX Sports’ graphic with the caption, “So proud of our crew.”

The milestones just keep piling up like highlight-reel plays. Indiana didn’t just win the Big Ten, they snagged their first conference crown since 1967 and their first outright title since 1945. They even snapped a 32-game skid against Ohio State, taking down the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988. And QB Fernando Mendoza basically wrapped up the school’s first Heisman with a string of clutch, big-time throws while dragging the Hoosiers back from a 10–3 hole.

Nobody had Indiana pegged as a powerhouse when the season kicked off. They started at No. 20 in the AP Poll and sat ten spots behind Illinois heading into their Sept. 20 showdown in Bloomington. But the Hoosiers came out swinging like an NFL team trying to make a statement, and hung a 63–10 beatdown on the Illini.

From there, IU kept stacking résumé wins like those of playoff contenders: road victories at Iowa, a takedown of No. 3 Oregon, and a miracle comeback at Penn State that effectively punched their Big Ten title ticket.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
