The Ride with JMV
You can count an IU Athletics Hall of Famer as one of the many fans that are in awe of what Curt Cignetti has done with the Hoosiers football program. Adewale Ogunleye, who played defensive end for the Hoosiers from 1996 to 1999 before embarking on an 11-year NFL career that included Pro Bowl and first-team […]
The Indiana Hoosiers are just two games away from an unprecedented National Championship. Obviously, the biggest cause of this historic turnaround is head coach Curt Cignetti, who has transformed the program from laughingstock to powerhouse in just two seasons. However, you can’t talk about this season without mentioning the play of quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who transferred from […]
The Colts season is officially, mercifully over. There’s no real reason to recap their epic collapse over the final two months of the season. Everyone is aware of how they went from a 98% chance of making the playoffs to once again wrapping up their season in the first week of January, and everyone is now aware […]
The Indiana Hoosiers have done what was once unthinkable, dominating Alabama in the Rose Bowl to advance to the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs! Up next, they’ll take on the Oregon Ducks in a Big Ten rematch! The Hoosiers handed the Ducks their only loss of the season back in October, when they went into Eugene and […]
The #1 Indiana Hoosiers are in California where they await the 9th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide for the 2026 Rose Bowl Game. It’ll be a battle between one of the old guards of college football and an emerging powerhouse, one that honestly no one saw coming just a few short years ago. In fact, Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers will be favored over the Crimson […]
The Indianapolis Colts will once again be on the outside looking in for the NFL Playoffs. It’s a development that is on one hand shocking, but on the other, not surprising at all. Shocking because the Colts were once 7-1 and had a 98% chance of making the playoffs. Not surprising because since that point, almost everything that […]
The Big Ten is heating up in the basketball world! On Wednesday’s episode of The Ride With JMV, John was joined by Tom Crean, a friend of the show and the former IU Coach now with ESPN, who’s now covering the NBA with the Timberwolves. They dive into the incredible accomplishments of the Hoosiers’ football program, led by Coach Curt Cignetti, and explore what makes […]
44-year-old Philip Rivers was always a gamer during the prime of his NFL, and that clearly hasn’t changed in the five years he spent away from the league. Rivers hung tough against a darn good Seattle defense, taking hits and getting back up while mostly avoiding backbreaking mistakes. The Colts were even up 16-15 with […]
The Indianapolis Colts are turning to 44-year-old Philip Rivers in a desperate attempt to save their season. Once 7-1 with a chance at the top seed in the AFC, they now sit at 8-5 and will be without the services of Daniel Jones for the rest of the season following his Achilles injury. Rather than rely on rookie Riley Leonard, […]
Philip Rivers is back with the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, that is a real sentence in the year 2025. The 44-year-old quarterback last played January of 2021, when the Colts went to Buffalo and lost in the Wild Card Round to the Bills. The Colts wanted to bring Rivers back at the time for a 2nd season, but he instead decided to call it […]
It’s hard to believe now, but at one point the Indianapolis Colts were 7-1 and looked to have an easy path to the playoffs and maybe even the AFC South crown. How quickly things can change. The Colts are now 8-5 after a blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars; that makes it four losses in the last five games. More […]
