BottomLine

Really uncertain about the outcome here. First road game of the year. The running game seems a bit thin at the moment. Northwestern scored too easily. The heart says one thing but the brain says another. This could be a stumble game if we don't get off to a good start. Indiana. 6 Tds = 42. 1 fg = 3. Total = 45 Rutgers. 2 Tds = 14. 1 fg = 3. Total = 17

I usually don't pick this easly BUT the game is on FRIDAY and if I don't do something now I might forget. NAAAAAAA. Now they start to count!!!! Still don't trust our kicker. Missed one last weekend we should have had. Shut out 3 teams in a row? Don't think so. INDIANA 5 TDs = 35 Total = 35 NORTHWESTERN 1 TD = 7 1 FG = 3 Total = 10

I know Western Kentucky was crushed in their last game. However they did score. It should be 90+ in Bloomington on Saturday so what will be the temp on the field and will that have an impact on the running game? We are only using two rbs at this time. Is our kicker still out? Don't think we will be looking for a field goal. We win big and stay healthy is the goal for the day. Indiana 7 TDs = 49 Total = 49 W Ky 1 TD = 7 Total = 7 (After all we can't expect to shut everyone out)

I have won in the past in the same manner and ended up doing a victory dance around the family room. Only grumbling because I am historically terrible in the first two weeks, both here and in basketball. Just wanted you winners to know I'm coming to get you.

For you nine guys that got IUs score right. Merry Christmas!!!! With less than a minute and a half to go I'm looking at a 45-16 score an I have 45-17. I'm looking at picking up 174 points. Coach Cig is not looking to run the score up. As he explained to the press after the game, he sent a quarterback (Notice unnamed) in with orders to run out the clock. You know the old "Victory Formation". In other words take a knee. Instead he decides on his own to run around the left side for a meaningless touchdown. And that, ladies and gentlemen is how the second string quarterback became the third string quarterback and how I ended up in 12th with 117 points. As I said - Merry Christmas!

The only way this game is within 3 touchdowns is if we loan Howard our second team. Repeat of Michigan - Western Michigan? Don'tmake me laugh. Bloomington North might give us a better game. We win this one by as many as we want. IU 8 TDS = 56 TOTAL = 56 Howard Zilch TOTAL = 0 (But at least they get a check for showing up)

The first game of the year is aways a crap shoot. Anyone tells you they know what is going to happen is a fool. Guess that makes me a fool. The only thing I know for sure is that it is going to be HOT and even that might not be right. My first week predictions are always my worst, so take what is below with a grain of salt. Am I giving N Tex St to much credit? Probably. Indiana 6 TD = 42 1 FG = 3 Total = 45 N Tex St 2 TD = 14 1 FG = 3 Total = 17

Cheaters proof game! IU 75 NW 71

INDIANA 74 OHIO ST 79

INDIANA 71 MSU 75

INDIANA 79 NW 70

To win this we need Doran to go off. Wilkerson and DeVries alone won't get the job done. Getting ready to hear those "IU sucks" cheers in the background. PU = All Class. INDIANA 71 PU 81

INDIANA 73 ILLINOIS 83

INDIANA 80 OREGON 68

INDIANA 81 WISCONSIN 77
