Wow! I hope you are right! I'm going with 5 other Hoosier fans and we all have red coats.
Anxious to see what the IU turnout is

I'm not sure I'd put it as high as 40%, but I think there will be a good IU turnout.
Let's be real, ND will/should expect to be in the CFP most years. Although I aspire/hope for the same from IU, this very literally could be a once in a lifetime event in our relative backyard. It most certainly IS a first in a lifetime event for most of us. If we've got the money to go, we'll spend it.
Their are a ton of tickets on StubHub now and prices are falling. This bodes well for IU. 25% of the stadium in crimson and cream may not be out of the realm of possibility.
I bought Sunday night because I needed to know we had tickets so that I could plan my trip. I need to stop looking at ticket prices. Knowing myself, I would not have saved any $ by waiting to buy but I would’ve been sitting in a helluva lot better seats.
Still, I’ve watched a lot of bad football since 1995 and I always said if we caught lightning in a bottle, I’d enjoy every step along the way. Although I always assumed it would be in Pasadena.

Funny enough, if it were the old days, we STILL wouldn't have gone to the Rose Bowl this year. Ain't that a kick in the pants.
Is that right? Has PSU never been to the rose bowl?
EDIT: They went to the rose bowl in 2023, which means we would have won the tie breaker and we would have gone.
If Oregon wasn't in the conference, we woulda tied for first, and the old tie breaker was the team that hasn't been there in the longest time gets to go. Pretty sure that woulda been us.
True enough if you go back to the REALLY old days pre-championship game & pre Big 18. I was still counting all current conference members.
IIRC, the tiebreaker is how Purdue got to go in 2000. They were in a 3-way tie for the conference championship with NW & Mich (beat them both that year) but hadn't been since '67 or whenever it was.
