It just shows who you are. Indy is disrespectful.
Indiana/Ohio State Prediction Thread
- Thread starter Bowlmania
- Start date
Just to you. I've posted Indy on a few Indiana fan boards and no one has a problem with it as it's pretty obvious I'm not trying to disrespect the Hoosiers
They beat us up front in the 2nd half
Woa, IU is not Indy! Maybe just a typo??
The depth OSU has allows rotation of players with less falloff in size and talent. My point is with more depth a team stays fresher in the 2nd half and that’s what happened with Michigan
OSU 31
Indiana 17
I think we come out strong in the first half, but offense stalls in the second against a talented secondary and long Buckeye offensive drives wear our defense down. Basically what happened against Michigan but add in a capable offense. Hope I’m wrong. Go Hoosiers!

With my head:
Ohio State 21
Indiana 17
With my heart:
Indiana 35

It is a good thing football is a team game that can control greater talent, but it is tough to avoid a mistake that lets talent take advantage.
I think IU’s OL rebounds having played Michigan’s top level DL talent and Rourke stays upright.
WRs limit the drops, and Rourke recaptures the magic.
Howard gets harried enough, and Haines gets the defense off the field.
IU 38 — O$U 24

IU has its deepest front seven in years. The DL rotation keeps getting the job done, and should have an advantage v. a rebuilt O$U OL. Getting tired won’t be why IU loses. Winning the TO battle will be the bigger question.
I hope you're correct.
OSU 27
Indiana 20.
OSU starts out 27-0, then second half Indiana comes back only to throw it away with 3 minutes remaining. OSU holds on for win.
Well, I've seen enough. I'm reversing my prediction. This INDY team is loaded. INDY 34 - OSU 21
Go Indy Hoosiers - beat those crooked Buckeyes

Well.... crap. Not low scoring, nor have we been efficient since the first two drives. Muffed was punt completely deflating.
We've been good both Offense and Defense 1st, 2nd and NOT 3rd. ;-(
O line is getting killed whenever OSU decides to get aggressive.
again.... crap.
True, but the idea behind a prediction thread is to predict what’s going to happen, not what we’d all like to see happen.
You can be a fan and not think Indiana had any shot to win today. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Agree fans can predict either way and it’s not a knock on them. But fans tend to be homers and in the end this is all entertainment.
It's a prediction thread for however you want to use it.
You do it your way the rest will do it theirs.
And some of us feel we did have shot to win today. We laid an egg. Yeah, homer glasses but also expecting Cig and Shanahan would have been a little better today on the pressure. With a bye week.

Wasn’t suggesting that people didn’t feel we had a shot. Just suggesting that being a fan doesn’t preclude you from picking the other side even though you’re not rooting for them. And anyone who suggests that you should only be a blind loyalist (or shill) is in my view out of line.
I know. I said we'd win. I'm not offended for looking stupid. I'm sure I was 35-40 to 60-65 on the chances but then 20 percent or more fan googles. Oh well.
Couple of things.
First, I'm in no shape to do even simple math. You were close, so was abraxis and somebody else, but I think Geddy wins as hi numbers were close and his point differential, 21. was close to the 23 that it ended up being.
Next, what's with your post? Who gave you shit for predicting a big OSU win, and who has suggested that the only way to go here is "blind loyalty?" Anyone 1) who knows anything about college football; and 2) with an ounce of objectivity knew that this game had the potential to result in a bad loss for IU. In the first post in this thread, I said there was a wide range of possible outcomes.
I thought we had a shot today. Ohio State's vastly superior talent, and our special teams fvck ups, proved too much to overcome. I look forward to our next match-up in couple of years, hopefully in Bloomington. And no, I'm not "drinking the Kool-Aid." This program's a rocket ship. As Cignetti ups the talent level, the rest of the league - - including the Buckeyes - - will have their hands full when they play the Hoosiers. I hope Day is around for the next time we play so that IU can thoroughly kick his ass.
I'm not sure how often you visit the basketball forums, but you'd be surprised how many people there make predictions strictly out of "blind loyalty" (and give those who don't do it a lot of grief for not doing so, as though it makes them feel that those who don't aren't as big a fan as they are). My comment was more general in nature, and I was not insinuating that anyone was giving me grief for the pick. My apologies if that's how it came across, because that was not my intention.
That said, I also have a belief in karma and chi, and worry when there's a huge influx of picks for Indiana against (as you correctly called them) a "vastly superior" opponent. It just didn't feel right.
