I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed, but just wondering if this game is going to be televised?

says if the met on a neutral field Bama would be favored by 2 touchdowns, I think that may be a little extreme but would concede Bama would be a prohibitive favorite, following his logic should Las Vegas do the polls instead of the ap and coaches? F the SEC, we beat UCLA on the road by more than LSU did at home

I’m half expecting a mention from Joe Buck tonight about Saturday’s beatdown.
It would be awesome if he showed up Saturday for Gameday,he sounds like he’s all in on Cig.

WTH?

Only one game and perhaps the Ahia game would have been a better one to judge, but I wasn't all that impressed in their last game.

I thought their pass game was as good as ours as well as their pass defense.

Their running game looked nowhere near where ours is and their run defense was easily manipulated by Purdue spreading the field and going one on one.

Good team vs a bad team but #2? If so, we are awfully close to that.

So my wife and I went to Bedford and voted early. Democrats and Republicans both in the room. Had to show valid drivers license to vote. It was checked against your registration. Why do democrats fight against Voter ID?

With early voting I don’t get the need for millions of mail in voters.

I guess alumni big d$&es just dropped bags this weekend. Anyone hearing this? Great sign for keeping this train rolling.

Game will be at 12N on FS1, or at 3:30 on Peacock.

Thinking it's Cherry but I have never seen a depth chart for this team.

1. I can’t believe how many podcast shows are related to Nebraska. And they are all in shock for the same reason - they still thought we were “just Indiana.” No real respect. They bought the rat poison about the Nebraska defense being the end of the New Indiana. The stats about our offense and our defense did not get through to the brains that still think the past plays on Saturday. “Indiana has the worst historical record.” OK. How you like us now? Cig has taken a bunch of guys that NO talking head knew about last year and made them the biggest threat to the old status quo since NIL and The Portal were imagined. He had faith in and respect for the “little guys” - the Unknowns - and turned them into The Whosiers - kids now taking the norm by storm! The Cardiac Kids.2. Another Indiana team that ain’t supposed to be here.

2. Test 1 was win at UCLA - the “historical” power. Passed. Test 2 was Maryland - the up-and-coming coach who could recruit. Passed. Test 3 - keep NW from getting off the mat at NWHS stadium. Passed. Test 4 - survive the vaunted Nebraska defense. Passed 56 times. Who are these guys? These New Whosiers? Test 5 - beat Washington, who went big with our guys, and beat a No. 10 Michigan … but we gotta win with a back up QB. Challenge accepted. See ya at the yard.

3. Prepare thyself - the Rat Poison this week will double.

We both agreed on what our favorite game segment was. Late 3rd, and extending into the early 4th quarter, Nebraska was mounting maybe their best drive of the game. IU had the #2 and 3 depth players in on defense. Nebraska ended up getting to first and goal on the IU 6. All of the sudden, you see the entire D get subbed out for our starters. Forget about it bitches.

Good times

We should all be big Nebraska fans going forward. The national perspective of this IU team has started to shift but if they were to win on Saturday vs. Ohio State, I would venture to guess it would be jarring for most across the country. I know that isn't very likely, but I will have my 'Go Big Red' hat on no matter the case.

I think the largest reason the nation is having a hard time coming to grips with this is because it's not really been done to this level before. Yes, coaches have come in and turned teams around. Bad teams have also gone from awful to good in a year. You don't take an awful team last year at a program with the most losses in CFB history and turn them in a genuine title contender of the superpower two conferences, in year one. The only way it happens is because of the current open portal situation that didn't exist until more recently. I expect we may see things like this happen to other programs periodically in the future but it sure is fun (possibly) watching this team be the first one.

It's been a wild ride so far. In Tayven We Trust.

Coach Cig has two new challenges this week and both are really big. The obvious one is not having Rourke available. I kept hearing Joel Klatt say that Rourke’s strength was his ability to process quickly based on what the defense was doing. Jackson is athletic and has a strong arm (touch?), but can he process quickly/correctly? Second, Coach Cigs says frequently the team needs to guard against complacency; after a dominant win in front of a national audience last week, will the team build on this or will some complacency set in? I think UW will be a tougher opponent than Nebraska.

What an incredible and improbable season. As a 60 year IU fan at times it just doesn’t seem real. Thank you Coach Cig!

I will be heading to a tailgate that is in the east/orange lot. I will not be parking in said lot.

Any suggestions on where I should park and walk from (with wife and 2 kids)?

Do I just need to suck it up and park in the tailgate lot somewhere?

Die anyone catch the pre game sideline interview with Coach?

….”Well that’s what winning does. Winning puts people in the ****ing stands”.

I don’t care for the language and particularly on live television. Following that statement the Interview ends and he jogs to the IU sideline. It was abundantly clear to me that he had this team ready to play. Amazing what he has done for the program. Almost like a modern day Knight in football. Dude is a winner and doesn’t give a sh*t what anyone thinks or says. Determined to win. Google him!

To keep Shanahan I am afraid

The ball caps they wore in the band section yesterday said “Play 14” on the side.

Interesting take on the old “play 13” mantra.

their hearts are in the right place, but if we’re playing 14 (12+BT Champ game+ ????), then I’m gonna hope for CFP vs a bowl game and maybe get a couple more than 14

Sweet.

And had IU ranked ahead of Bama , 7 games in, on their Bingo card?

All 3 remaining home games are officially sold out.

That pork tenderloin from BuffaLouie’s was outstanding. Highly recommend.
