Almost everyone has IU headed to bowl in Santa Clara. Last I checked that is also IU's Big Ten opener at home. Does the NCAA not have a provision to not let these cross? This makes things incredibly tough on fans (granted bowl is at 8:30 and basketball at 7 so only a slight overlap) who want to attend both and even tougher on media and radio who can't do or be in and broadcast in 2 places at once. Can IU not fight tooth and nail for a different bowl for this reason? I wish the hypocritical NCAA would work with bowl games to ensure these games don't overlap for the fairness of all involved for ANY school. This is not pre-conference cupcakes for basketball anymore but conference games now that should not be over shadowed by exhibition bowls.

It'll be time to hook up two tvs in the same room

Did it all throughout the MLB postseason to watch the Cubbies, and anything else we desired!  It was sweet.  The extra TV is still hooked up and the wife hasn't said anything about it yet......

Foster Farms is a Tier 2 bowl game. Given we are the eighth eligible bowl team in the B1G we aren't likely to get one of the group of six games. At the moment, we are looking at the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit or Heart of Texas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl.

There is a chance we could get into a Tier 2 bowl, especially if the B1G gets two teams into the CFP and needs to fill the lower slots. If that is the case, I think we'd much more likely be placed in the Music City Bowl given Nashville's proximity to campus and alumni, as well as the strong possibility of being paired with rival Kentucky.

If I had to bet, odds are on Quick Lane, with an outside chance of Music City.

I think Northwestern would be an ideal school for Foster Farms given its academics are comparable to the top Pac 12 schools and NW has a national student/alumni base with a sizable proportion coming from the West Coast.

FWIW, I relieved my email from the AD yesterday for ticket requests. The four bowls listed were the four bowls I mentioned above.

If the Big Ten sends 4 teams to the New Years 6 bowls, which could very well happen, then Iowa and Nebraska would be looking at the Holiday and the Outback. Us, Minnesota, Maryland, and Northwestern would then be looking at the Pinstripe(Which isn't a possibility for us), the Music City, the Foster Farms, the Heart of Dallas, and the Quick Lane. Which would probably mean we end up in the Foster Farms or the Music City. With Maryland going to the Quick Lane or Heart of Dallas and Northwestern heading to NYC for the Pinstripe. Everybody wish for 4 teams from the B1G in New Years 6 bowls.

From a Marching Hundred member's perspective, we're all really hoping we get selected for Santa Clara. I know that at least some of the members on the team are hoping to go there too, as well as the student managers. We would all get a free trip to spend a few days in California while Indiana is freezing right after Christmastime. We'll be excited to go anywhere though, California just sounds like the best deal for us haha

You realize that Nashville's averages are about the same historically speaking low 50's high 40's. I have family there. It's actually not bad in winter. Also if I was a player I would rather have the game in Nashville over Santa Clara. Yes the beaches and possibilities of super nice weather.... And girls. But on the radio today talking about hoosier football and basketball there is about 300,000 alumni that are in a 4-5 hr drive to Nashville. That's where I would want to be. Flights to Santa Clara are $600-$700... I'm trying to find info on west coast alumni but I wouldn't think it's close to the 300,000. If it is then I would hope alum would show up since it will be Utah most likely. Eff detroit lol I don't think any of us want to go there in the first place and I think Maryland has that spot locked up. So I think it will come down to fosters or music city. Also good luck finishing your degree up. And here's and early congrats. Terre haute isn't actually a bad place im out there all the time for work, have several clients out there.

I've been to the last two MCB's and froze my arse off lol. Granted last year was in the evening but it's been about the same temperature as up here the last two years. Still hoping like crazy we're there. Got my tickets last week and the crowd we would bring would be awesome. Nashville is a hell of a city.

(Thanks for the congrats by the way. The Haute isn't as bad as people say it is lol)
