Oh trust me, they all know I am the only American on the block. I am not yet fluent in German, but I understand enough! :) The Swiss are not very welcoming to foreigners. Unless you are on vacation and willing to drop 10's of thousands of dollars.

If I thought going bare A$$ naked and running around my neighborhood yelling. YES!! I AM A DUMB AMERICAN.. would do any good at all, I would do it.

I feel like I am watching an Indiana team from 10 years ago.

He is hurt. That isn't good.

That is the Defense we have all been waiting 30 minutes to see.

This first half is unfortunately showing the committees that set these bowl games knew more than we thought they did. I sure hope the 2nd half makes me eat those words.

This has nothing to do with matchup. IIU just isn't playing the same game they have played all year long.

I really hope the plane makes it down from Bloomington before the 2nd half starts.

It is almost like he is trying to make up for something.

We are looking like the team with the loosing record. It is pretty bad. I've got faith they will wake up, but this is an ugly first quarter.

Where the hell is the defense that has been on the field the rest of season? This just doesn't even look like the same team.

I guess it takes a long time for a TV signal to get to Switzerland, because your post came up a couple of minutes before I saw the FG. Or are you live at the game?

Do we go for it?

That has to be ruled a catch!

It looks like the vaunted Defense stayed in Bloomington. :(

Same reason, my sisters and I didn't send our parents to this one. :).

I'm sitting here in my apartment waiting for the game to start. One of the things that I like least about living outside the US, is missing IU Football. Yeah, I've been able to watch all the games on TV, but it just isn't quite the same though. Now that I am a little older I finally have the means to go to a bowl game. I took my Dad to the Pinstripe, and Foster Farms. Last year, my sisters and I paid for our parents to go the bowl. Would love to have gone this year, but flights from Europe are lot more expensive. So I'll just be here wearing my IU gear and cheering loudly! Go IU!!!!

I think this is the right answer. IU fell out of the NY 6 because of a century plus of football futility. There is no consistent brand other than negative. I will grant that we played OSU better than anyone else this year, but all anyone can think of is that the conference was awful this year. Three of the four biggest names in the conference simply sucked this year. I don't see any way we blow Ol Miss out of the stadium. I think IU will win, but it will be by less than 10 points.

I have gotten pretty good about being able to stay away from sports pages, and Social Media when I really want to watch a game, :). My WI friends all laugh at me, because my wife and I have watched the Packers for Monday Night Football practically all season long.

I disagree completely! I think every game should be played at 11:00 AM Eastern Time or earlier. Considering I'm 6 hours ahead The only way I can watch a game live is if it is played before 4 PM. :)

When IU decides to play hard, they are pretty good. They just have to learn to play like the last 2 minutes on a consistent basis.

Receiver of the Year; Fryfogle 4 Offensive players named to 2nd and 3rd All Conference: Penix, Scott, Fryfogle. 2nd Team; Hendershot 3rd Team; Phylor and Crider. Honorable Mention & Defensive Players Named: McFadden 1st Team; Both Johnsons (Jerome and Jamar), Mullen and Williams. 2nd Team; Matthews. 3rd Team Jones Honorable Mention I am assuming that this many Hoosiers have NEVER been named All Conference before. Pretty darn impresive! The one thing that didn't make sense to me, is: How the blazes can Fryfogle win the Receiver of the year, but not be on the 1st team? Congrats to all of them. IU FB has been one of the only bright spots this fall!

I thought they were done with all the all conference but there are some more: Allen: Coach of the year! Personally I think this one should have been his last year, but either way pretty HUGE! Special Teams: Campbell made the 2nd team. Whitehead and Taylor got an honorable mention. Mekhi Sargent was IU's nominee for the Sportsmanship Award. Pretty amazing list!!

Sucks it will be a night game, but glad we get to play for the Bucket.
