It was just a general response. It was not in regards to your post. But I do think they can possible hang for one half but the other half purdue will torch him by like 20.

I don't think Woodson ever does that. No reason to worry. He still thinks its an 80 game season. No such thing as a must win game.
I think he also thinks he is doing a good job at 5-5 with the highest NIL in the league.
There's no JHS on this team going for 35.
But I am rooting for this win.
The rest..Not so much...

Pressure was the wrong choice of words. The original comment was who has more to play for? I say that's clearly Purdue who is still in the B10 conference race and is playing for a high seed. We're out of the tourney picture and all a win buys us is more bubble talk. That's not much to play for.
Purdue has the added motivation of “0-66” fresh in their fractured psyches.
As for the travel excuse used in blame of Ohio State’s upset in Mackey, I predicted this excuse would be heard.
You may well have predicted it but that doesn't mean that it is false. If it was just Purdue that experienced a loss like OSU, it could be considered just an excuse. But it wasn't just Purdue that it happened to, As I pointed out, other B1G teams experienced a similar outcome after their West Coast trips so there appears to be a positive correlation which suggests causality. IU has not made that trip yet, but they will after that your view may change. And it is fair to point out that Purdue's West Coast trip came right after an East Coast trio; that is something that the other B1G teams didn't have when they lost.
Increased travel beyond what was traditional, and reasonably close, is new. To pretend it is not a factor is wrong. By the way, the travel effect is greater on the new teams as they have to travel more and I believe that it hurts them even more.
He didn’t predict they’d win so why would he bet on it? You need to read what he wrote.
That game is prominent, likely occupying 1st place, in your consciousness but you are a member of a miniscule minority. It borders on an obsession for you that borders on the humorous. But have your fun, it really doesn't matter. There was a time when Purdue fans were upset by that outcome, but those days are long gone. Have at it.
Ok, will do. You can never live down the worst loss in the history of sports. People don't forget.
Anyone who roots for Purdue to beat IU does not get to refer to the Hoosiers as “my Hoosiers.”
If Indiana is ever successful again, I’m not sure how you’ll occupy your time. Seems like with nothing to complain about you might go insane.
This game all depends on shooting. Purdue is capable of lighting it up - if they do it could be rough for Indiana. If it's a tough shooting night, it will be a pretty close game. I'm not sure Indiana is a good enough shooting team for a runaway in Indiana's favor. Anyway, through the decades, this game can be pretty unpredictable. I suspect a track meet at times.
