Mike Pence gets wild with all-caps message to Indiana after national title win

The historic undefeated season of Indiana’s football team has sparked significant conversation regarding the professional future of star quarterback Fernando Mendoza. While he capped a 16-0 run with 41 touchdowns and a remarkable 72 percent completion rate, analysts are debating whether he possesses the elite traits required of a number one overall NFL draft pick.

Critics point out that Mendoza excelled within a near-perfect system in Bloomington, supported by a top-tier offensive line and stellar coaching. The concern remains whether he can elevate a struggling professional franchise like the Las Vegas Raiders, or if his success was largely a product of the superior talent surrounding him at the college level.

Despite these questions, his late-game poise and efficiency have solidified his status as a certain first-round prospect.

The national celebration reached a fever pitch following the title win, drawing attention from prominent figures. Mike Pence took to X to share a wild, all-caps message, with an explosive reaction.

This enthusiastic endorsement from the former Vice President mirrors the shockwaves the program has sent through the sports world, as a school once defined by its basketball legacy and football futility now sits at the pinnacle of the gridiron.

Joel Klatt further emphasized the magnitude of this achievement, claiming that Curt Cignetti’s leadership transcends the sport of college football itself. Klatt argued that because the college system does not provide the worst programs with better resources or draft picks, Cignetti’s immediate turnaround of a historically losing program is the greatest coaching performance in sports history.

By guiding Indiana’s football team to a 16-0 record, a feat not accomplished by a major team since 1894, Cignetti has completely rewritten the narrative of Indiana athletics.

As the program transitions into the role of defending champions, the focus in Bloomington has permanently shifted. Cignetti acknowledged that while the school’s football history was poor for decades, the emphasis is now squarely on maintaining this new standard of excellence.

The 2025 campaign did more than just secure a trophy; it proved that with the right culture and leadership, even the most challenged programs can reach the top. From now on, Hoosier Nation continues to celebrate a storybook ending that many thought was impossible.
