How’s everyone feeling?

Had to Google this slang, means WTF!

 

[IUfanBorden]

I’m nervous.

I’m anxious.

I feel like they can’t beat us if we are playing at or near the top of our game.

Don’t turn it over.

Get off the field on third down.

Don’t settle for field goals.

Let’s do this.

I think IU 'A' game is better than ND , 'A' game.

But it's in South Bend. Could be the difference.

 

[Vern Pain]

I've brought this up to a few ND supporters I know laughing about our schedule. That Michigan win is better than any win ND has except for A&M which was week 1. Michigan will have four players hear their name called on Thursday night in April. Maybe the most of any team in college football.

A&M and Louisville are their two most impressive wins.

 

[vesuvius13]

I am waiting for the start of the game practicing some calming measures to get through the day.

Phonetics can be your friend.

 

[Hoosiervannah]

This is one of the greatest sporting events for me personally in my lifetime. I’m many ways a once in a lifetime occurrence! If we win it will be glorious - if we lose, well it still wasn’t all that bad! Go Hoosiers! Bring the tears to my old eyes!

 

[Vern Pain]

Not going to lie. A couple mg of Xanax might be useful right now.

Since it's Jack Friday, may I suggest Gentleman Jack on the rocks.

It is not a BB board . Its has turned into a bunch of complainers and a CMW firing squad. Nothing about the team.

Can you please go somewhere else? I was enjoying this thread until you showed up. As 76-1 said, take your drivel to the Basketball Boards. Bye!

 

[bang63]

I’m anxious for game time but less confident than most on here. I wouldn’t bet even money on the game.

 

[IUNCAAChamps2012]

😂 yes. That was my immediate reaction. What’s the fun in convincing yourself ND will win handily. I’m assuming that Debbie downer also plays the don’t pass line on craps.

 

[CraigHo]

We have to stay on the path that got us here. Balanced offense and solid defense. And no out of character plays, see the OSU game. I don’t think the ND rush defense is as bad as their ranking. They played a lot of running teams, therefore I don’t believe their pass d is as good as it is statistically. That’s our window. Take advantage of a pass defense that isn’t as good as they think they are, and run like we’ve ran against everybody. Go Hoosiers!

If the weather's not a factor, we win.

 

[red hornet]

Focus on ND not the weather.

I think he just meant to maybe focus on football. You know this is arguably the biggest game in IU football history. Possibly the biggest game in the history of all IU athletics. The haters on the bball board aren't going anywhere. Today is all about football...

I'm wondering if IU's run D is as good as the stats show, since most of the opponents were buried on the scoreboard and were trying to play catch-up.

Winning this game would put really move this unbelievable season to a whole new level.

 

[rediufan]

Everybody says we played a weak schedule, outside of the 3 OOC games IU had no control over their schedule, but none of the Talking Heads wants to bring that factor into any of the discussions. We played the schedule that we were given and we stand at 11 - 1. We deserve to be there, and we will prove it tonight.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Just a few more hours before I get off work and crack open my first brew! Cant get a good feel til then!

Take no prisoners and damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

Heineken has been on ice for an hour and half. Even checked for a spare opener. Nothing derails this celebration.
Execute, execute, execute!!!

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Give me a final four over the 12 team playoff any day of the week. If we can win tonight then we’re talking about Elite 8 Saturday/Sunday level of excitement for the bowl game.

Final 4’s are a dime a dozen. We’ve been to several. Making the first ever 12 team CFP is historic for a school so poor at the sport for decades. IU might sniff another CFP before we even come close to a Final Four. Basketball is a passenger seat rider in the new world of college sports.

[Middawg]

This IU defense swarms and hits hard. Much harder than any D this Leprechaun team has faced.


My gut tells me it's their mission and apart of their defensive plan is to impose their will with big violent hits.

Not going to lie. A couple mg of Xanax might be useful right now.

It’s a miracle drug when used by people who tend to be anxious by nature.

 

[IUgradman]

Not nervous. IU had a good season. Cig just needs to use the success of this year as a springboard to even greater success in the future.

[daddyhoosier]

Feeling pretty good. Pretty calm. We're a physical and well-coached football team and that translates well in the CFB Playoff. I like our chances.

I am legit thinking of taking a gummy.

 

[Hoosierific]

The only way I could get more pumped is if Coach Cignetti emerges from the tunnel and charges the Indiana team out across the field riding a massive Bison with steaming breath and nostrils with a Crimson flaming IU Trident in hand and then procedes to plant it at midfield

Yes! I want a Bison mascot, powerful and rugged. Nervous but excited too.

I don’t think IU can stop ND’s running game, which I think gets ND a 10-pt win.

“IF” IU can stop their run game… IU could win.

Gonna be a TOUGH venue for IU.

 

[abraxis]

Same way I’ve felt since the matchup was announced. Confident that ND wins handily unfortunately. I really wish it was at a neutral site.

Thank you for your honest, heartfelt prediction, vicious that it seems. It is certainly possible the Irish kick out ass, but what fun would that be come Saturday morning?

 

[Carib04]

My nervousness exists on several levels and in no particular order. Ohio St., Folks not thinking we belong, Notre Dame at home, God forbid we shit the bed, did I say Ohio St.?
