This is a good example of why we’re adding what we’re adding: Nebraska... http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1097039 Indiana... https://iuhoosiers.exposure.co/iu-excellence-academy-renderings?locale=en/guidelines?more=true?more=true And it’s proof that what we’re getting is top notch. And why we have to keep doing this. ^^^ This is a good video but my god does the music suck. ^^^

On a related note, Marching Hundred Hall is complete: http://construction.iu.edu/projects/major-new-building/marching-hundred-hall.html

Late July/early August. Once the facilities from the old Hoosier Room and rehab areas move over to the SEZ this summer, work will begin on expanding and renovating the locker room and players lounge. Scoreboard is contractually obligated to be up by August 1.

Seating platforms

I’d move MSU into the could win category. We beat them two years ago, were leading well into the fourth quarter in East Lansing last year, and they aren’t exactly having a smooth operation up there right now.

New seating options for 2018: rooftop patio available for everyone (two concession stands, restrooms, accessible by steps and elevator), new club area with outdoor seating (alcohol), new private suite (alcohol). The club area and suite will be on the concourse level. The club area will double as the new training table hall for the athletes, as previously mentioned in this thread...

ADA renovations currently ongoing: concessions, restrooms, more seating platforms in both the east and west stands, press box, and suites...

LED ribbon board will be placed above the field level windows in the SEZ, as in the NEZ. Play clock will be lowered, temp scoreboard removed...

DAKICH LEAVES SPARE JORTS AT URBAN'S Something with the Desmond Howard Heisman pose, since he will be there and it will piss off the Ohio State fans. TBDBITL CAN'T EVEN SPELL "STATE." FINEBAUM IS JUST ANOTHER CRAPPY DANA CARVEY DISGUISE Something with Corso/team (badly) photoshopped in front of the scoreboard. The score should be like 69 to 0 IU. WE WANT BAMA (a staple) TOM ALLEN > BORDER WALL MOTHER, WOULD YOU KINDLY ALLOCATE MORE FUNDS TO MY PERSON FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CAVIAR AND READING MATERIAL? Something Highlanderish with Chuck Crabb fighting Mr. Krabs...There Can Only Be One

And this: For years, IU has tried and failed to get a military flyover for a game at Memorial Stadium. It’s an expensive undertaking for the government — dispatching jets and fighter pilots, and providing the jet fuel — and it is one buried beneath multiple levels of red tape. “We’ve tried, but we’ve never gotten past stage one,” says IU senior associate athletic director Jeremy Gray. “As soon as we mentioned Thursday night and College GameDay being here, the request got to the Pentagon, and we got that signature.” The flyover will happen before the game, at the instant Jim Cornelison finishes singing the national anthem. Oh yeah — for this game IU got Cornelison, a 1992 Jacobs School of Music alum whose rendition of the anthem for the Chicago Blackhawks has become a national treasure. Cornelison is so good, and the flyover so fantastic, ESPN has asked IU to move the anthem from its normal spot, 19 minutes before kickoff, to nine minutes before kickoff. That way, ESPN can show the anthem live.

Gameday info: bring signs, sit in sections 31-32. http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2017/8/29/general-details-regarding-espns-college-gameday.aspx ESPN pre-game coverage from the stadium will begin at 4 PM. Corso will be honored on the field between the first and second quarters.

Look at this knob:

Scout loves him; they have him as the 173rd best player overall in the nation. Interestingly, he does not get tackled before crossing the goal line for the first five minutes of his highlight video: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/4163888/57df519911fa804f184415c2

I'm not really sure what being 21 point underdogs has to do with anything. This is the second lowest spread in the series over the course of the last 10 years or so. We've covered every year the past six years. The last two games in Bloomington came down to the final play and ended 52 to 49 and 34 to 27. We were very much in the game in Columbus last year until late in the fourth quarter. Heck, even in the 2014 game in Columbus with Zander at quarterback and them knowing that we were going to run Tevin every single play, we led in the third quarter. I know we have a stupid long drought against them, but I really wish people would stop acting like we can't match up with them. When's the last time we got blown out in general? By anyone?Seriously. Even against Michigan, we led late in the third quarter in Ann Arbor last year and lost 20 to 10, and the year before in Bloomington we lost in double overtime. Anything can happen in any game, but sometimes I feel like our fans don't really watch a lot of games very closely. Like, I've seen a bunch of predictions saying that Ohio State's going to score 60 points: they have scored 50 or more points against us literally one time since 1984. And that was the game a few years ago that we lost 52 to 49. We've had some truly horrific defenses over past 25 years, and we actually have a pretty damn good defense now, so it seems odd to predict these giant point totals. This is the best team we've had in a long time. I agree with you. I'm very excited to finally see the team play.

He's running Urban Meyer's offense. Ohio State is a damn good football team, but I'm not really sure what exactly it is people think Wilson is going to do or how much control people think he has.

Don't blame you. I unfortunately can't get up there until later in the day so the shuttle works for me.
