Get it done this weekend Woody!

Inside Indiana Football is back this week.

Follow along with this thread for updates from Inside Indiana Football with Curt Cignetti.

4 games playing with each game having a team inside the top-25 tonight. Kind of unusual but will be interesting to see if these are all blowouts….

What happens if she does a good job, and is impressive tonight?

It seems like everyone is expecting her to struggle. I'm sure the immediate questions will be that she won't have been alone. And that's valid to an extent.

I actually was pretty impressed with her interview immediately after the Trump/Biden debate. Whoever the CNN interviewer was, can't remember, actually was fairly tough on her trying to get her to acknowledge Biden's crap performance. She handled that interview, that could not have been comfortable, and obviously could not have been prepared for...very well.

We'll see I guess. But I wouldn't surprised if she comes away more impressive than not. And if so, it'll be interesting to see what that does to the Trump campaign, how they handle the debates, etc...

I'm talking composure, ability to articulate positions, etc... Obviously the content isn't going to resonate with a lot of people. Me included, for the most part.

Based mostly on geography, rivalries, tradition , like-minded institutions, with one exception keeping schools in the same state in the same conference, keeping the current 68 power 4 schools and adding a few....so basically fan's conferences. without $$$ considerations.....

Big 16 (Formerly known as the Big 10)

--Pitt
--PSU
--OSU
--Cincy
--MSU
--Michigan
--ND
__IU
--Purdue
--Minnesota
--Wisconsin
--NW
--Illinois
--Missouri
--Iowa
--Iowa St.

So......16 teams, dumping RU, Maryland, Nebraska, and the Pac 4...adding Cincy, Pitt, Missouri, ND, ISU

ACC

--U Conn
--BC
--Syracuse
--Temple
--Rutgers
--Maryland
--W. Virginia
--NC
--NS State
--Wake
--Duke
--S. Carolina
--Clemson
--Virginia
--Virginia Tech

15.....Hate to force Temple on them. Maybe somebody else would be better....already too many NC schools to add App St or E. Carolina. Maybe Marshall? U Mass? Anyway, dropping FSU, Stan, Cal, SMU, GT, UL, , Miami, , ND, , Pitt, ; adding U Conn, Temple, RU, Maryland, WVU, and S. Carolina.

SEC

--GA
--GT
--Bama
--Auburn
--Ole Miss
--Miss St.
--Vandy
--TN
--UK
--UL
--LSU
--Miami
--Florida
_-FSU
--USF
--UCF


16 teams....Florida-heavy, but that's within the rules. Dropping Arkansas, TX, A&M, Missouri, Oklahoma & S. Carolina. Picking up GT, UL, Miami, FSU, USF, UCF.....USF & UCF both schools with 50000+ students.

The Plains (Formerly the Big 12)

--Colorado
--Colorado St.
--Nebraska
--Kansas
--Kansas St.
--Arkansas
--BYU
--OK
--OK St
--TX
--TX A& M
--Houston
--TCU
--TX Tech
--SMU
--Baylor

16 teams...Texas and Texas North, but why not. I'm thinking Houston & SMU were on the outside looking in. The old Big 8 schools could never get along with the Texas schools, so add a couple more. Switching Nebraska for Iowa St to keep in-state schools together and for tighter geography.

The PAC 15

--Oregon
--OSU
--Washington
--Wash St.
--Utah
--Utah St.
--Boise St.
--UNLV
--Cal
--Stanford
--UCLA
--USC
--SD State
--AZ
--ASU

15 teams.....I violated one of my rules by putting BYU in the Big 12. Adding Utah St. (about 28000 students), SD State (37000), UNLV (31000) & Boise St (26000) to get to 15.

All-in-all I think you end up with 5 pretty competitive conferences with reasonable geography and most rivalries preserved.

EDIT: Adding Colorado St, a school with 34000 students and a great location, to the new Big 12.

For everyone going to the UCLA game, would someone with knowledge of the area arrange a designated bar for IU fans to go to on Friday night before. With it being so spread out it is difficult to make sense for a gathering place. Maybe IU Alumni Association would be of some help?

I swear I don’t know anybody.. especially those who call themselves Christians, can defend this abhorrent human being who we still have to refer to as Mr President

Home opener vs. the Irish

Sorry if this has been discussed but I’ve never heard who will be the color commentator beside Don. Who have they decided on?

Arlington Cemetery is run by the Deep State, fellas.

Thumbs up!

Love watching these games. Lots of bad asses competing, including…

Even the endzone seats are going for $160 at the lowest, and everything on the sidelines, especially the west sideline facing the lake, is well above $200,
even in the corners. If you want to even get close to midfield on the sidelines, you're looking at around $350 on StubHub right now.

Like, I'm still gonna go, just because it's a unique environment you're unlikely to see again in D1 football,
but I'm definitely waiting a couple weeks, probably in vain, for prices to come down.

Can't wait for Kickoff!

So I've been searching the IU site for a half hour now, and can't find anything other than the map that mentions it. There was one season a few years ago we used to do that - park there, go to Nick's (usually), then shuttle to the game. But I don't recall the details. Does anyone know just how early it begins? Trying to give my daughter options because she can't get her car in to where we tailgate.

It's a little early in the week for this but it's Game 1, so let's get things rolling.

FIU 14
IU 31

Go Hoosiers!

Closing today. Opened in 1953. My go to pizza joint when in school and every time I come back. Ugh so sad

Just announced they are closing for good effective today. Owners retired.
