Anyone Else Not Nervous?

Im not necessarily nervous about losing. I am always nervous about not showing up and playing well, but this team has proven several times over that is a thing of the past. As long as we play the way we have all year the outcome is what it is. This game is all I have thought about for weeks. Saying I’m excited/anxious is an understatement. 😁
 
I’m the least nervous I’ve been all season. IU playing with house money, 2 weeks to prepare and the coaching staff is now set up for years to come. Ohio State has way more riding on this game. They start slow. Have an over emotional QB. A couple of jerks running the program. A geriatric crowd. I’m all in!!!!
 
In the end, it's just a game. Make of it what you will. That said, the stakes are huge and the range of outcomes is wide. I'll be very nervous, probably the most since the '02 Title game.

Im pumped and pissed off for this game! I want IU to whoop some serious OhShit Ass!!! I’d love nothing more than to rub a big fat L on the faces of their shitty fans! If I watch it at a bar, I hope there are some OhSht fans there so I can do some serious trash talking! If IU loses, I will go crawl back under my rock til the next time!
 
I'm not worried about an ugly outcome. Look, if we totally smash Ohio State, our guys will just say 'we respect their team, they played hard' etc. They'll understand.

I'm looking forward to it. They're really good, and will be ready. Us too.

More worried about the ton of stuff I want to get done before Saturday so I can just enjoy the game. lol

As far as getting nervous about a football game played by well paid professionals loosely affiliated with my university - I'm pretty nervous. I feel this game is the chance to validate whether IU is a very good team or "just" a good top 25 team. I'm more excited than nervous.

The last game I was actually nervous about was PU in the bball championship, as them getting a banner nearly 40 years since IU got their last one would have been unbearable, especially given the way the season played out for IU and the "true fans" nonsense.

My biggest concern is not letting things get away from us in the first quarter,I worry about a slow start.
I think it’s crucial that we are either ahead at halftime or within a touchdown.
If that happens I like our chances in the second half.
 
I'm excited like a little kid. Just enhances the overall value of my IU life experience. Attending IU (didn't apply anywhere else) was one of my best decisions. Go Hoosiers! Happy holidays!
