How’s everyone feeling?

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.
 
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.

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

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!
 
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!

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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 our ass, but what fun would that be come Saturday morning?
