Still TBA for game at MSU.
- Thread starter SRIV94
- Start date
I was reading some comments on Facebook from fans about this game.
Someone mentioned it will be a tough game and others were laughing at the notion.
I know I’m not talking about the posters on here but a lot of new fans that have decided to join this ride have it in their heads that we have turned into Ohio State overnight.
Another said we own the Big Ten now 🤦♂️ I’ve been going to games for over 50 years and I’m enjoying the hell out of this but let’s not get too carried away with the crazy talk.
Again,I know I’m not talking about y’all on here,we have a good bunch of posters on here.
We have been through a lot of lean years,I think something big is in the works this year and beyond.

Will be going to that game as my brother-in-law lives in Midland. From what I understand there is a huge continent of Indiana fans attending. Now back to the here & now, focus on the next game.
Thinking about MSU in 2 weeks ain’t bad. Most years by this time we’re looking a the B1G basketball scheduleWill be going to that game as my brother-in-law lives in Midland.

Agree with you whole heartedly, 50+ year fan here. Went to Pasadena, getting tickets for Sparty and never miss a home game. But I've seen this movie before. Washington is the biggest game of the year this week. One game at a time, take no one for granted (even purdue) and shock the world. Go Hoosiers!
Along the same lines, I've banned Jr. from participating in the "Hoosier Daddy" chants the students do.*
I told him that first, it's not especially classy. Second, this isn't basketball and antagonizing people in a game where it's not terribly hard to injure an opponent on purpose with a cheap shot is poking the bear. Third, and most importantly, we've not been nearly good enough for nearly long enough to be dicks about winning.
*asterisk because he often ditches me to join the student section. So I can't vouch for what he does when he's in there. I'm pretty sure he's joined a frat by now. Precocious 10 year-old.
Iowa apparently thought They would have an easy game in East Lansing last Saturday night. How did that work out for them?
Will be a tough game. Really our first hard road environment and we'll actually have a target on our back, which is something new!
Iowa has an atrocious offense and it’s not like MSU has a great defense. The old west teams are really struggling.
@ Michigan State worries more than home against Michigan...just because of the "@" part.
I'm confident Indiana will have it's ears pinned back for great game against Washington.
They need to go into every game confident that they can win , and also afraid that they could lose. That way you don’t take any game for granted .
It’s pretty incredible but Cignetti has instilled a mindset into the team that losing is unacceptable and only winning will be tolerated. This team is a machine and has yet to be rattled in a single game.
Glad I kept my Peacock subscription from basketball season. Used it for Olympics coverage over the summer, too.
I think that's a good summary of him at this point.
I don’t get the impression Cignetti is that much of an intolerable hard-ass. I think a confident coach naturally instills confidence in his players. His calm, even keel demeanor keeps players relaxed, playing loose while maintaining focused on the task needed to succeed.

IU is rapidly becoming “America’s team”. Everyone loves a winner, a Horatio Alger story. Think Jack, the beanstalk’s giant slayer.
Yup and Don Fischer just gained a listener for certain for MSU. BTN builds a network and brand but yet when 2 B1G programs meet in a pretty fine stadium and 1 team on a magnificent quest and they don't broadcast it. All those BTN channels laying there doing nothing because these Execs are some of the dumbest bastards to ever crap behind a pair of shoes. Astonishing. Why not enhance our $ value of a BTN subscription by keeping B1G games on BTN???
It’s a scheduling draft. Each network gets a pick of games. NBC wanted IND/MSU for Peacock, but really they wanted to put the game on the actual network (MSU balked because it would’ve then been a night game).
Get used to it—it ain’t going away anytime soon.
The price we pay for the ridiculous media rights $$$$.
We all know Who and What We are. it's just a matter of agreeing on the price.
Bullshit is still BULLSHIT no other statement can be made. The conference is involved in agreeing with that POS agreement. As far as "get used to it" nothing changes until somebody pisses down an offending someone's throat. That's something to be lived with.
You can bet that if Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State were playing a non conference game against Our Mother of Perpetual Motion, it would never be relegated to Peacock.
Correct. And last year MICH had one of those “Our Lady of Perpetual Motion” games that got relegated to Peacock.
It happens.
Good post. Exactly, which is why people (networks) pay tens of millions of dollars to schools for the rights. They make 100 times and fans pay. I do not do Peacock, but NBC has a plan, and they paid to execute it. Time to sneak down for a burger at the local bar. Go Hoosiers!
