Kind of wish this one was a 330 start. I think Bowling Green is on CT, so that would be 230.... and that means I could still have one HELLUVA time in Nashville.

I have a friend (an IU grad) who feels very similar to you, I think.  He felt that we were lucky to beat PSU and they were actually pretty bad...and I'm guessing his thoughts also include the "it was a down year for the BIG".  So, I just say IU has to keep moving forward and do it again.  My friend is totally expecting a step backwards this season.  It's another tough schedule for IU.  GO HOOSIERS!!

I'm not expecting a step backwards per se.  I'm just setting my expectations a little different than others.  Like I wouldn't be surprised if our beloved Hoosiers start the season 2-3 or 1-4 or finish the season 6-6.  But then again I also wouldn't be surprised if they start 5-0 or 4-1 or finish the season with 8 to 10 wins.  I would be completely surprised if they have a losing season and don't go bowling.  That last sentence is probably the feeling for most if not all of us IUFB faithful.  And actually typing out that sentence fully explains the progress the program is going with CTA running this thing.  It's awesome to be talking this way about IUFB.  LEO

I'm in total agreement here.

Looks like we are back to lots of noon starts.

Understandable somewhat for those games. We do get the 12pm ABC game though with Cinci. 

You have to think OSU is a 330/8pm start. One of PSU or UM could be 330, as well.

Yes ABC is cool and I didn't think about the others so I'm good with this. I wanted to do more breakfast on my Blackstone this year anyway.

Now you're speaking my language.

I really don’t like the noon starts from a stadium atmosphere perspective. I get that older fans like it, but I think it will be difficult to get the student section in full force (and full intoxication) that early in the day.

Few top programs struggle with attendance regardless of start time.

If you're in college and can't be drunk by noon to support a Top 15 football team... 

You aren't doing college the right way.

If you're thinking of traveling to Iowa City on Sept. 4, good news.  Iowa planning on full capacity for spectators.

I thought we have known that for a while. I'm pretty sure Jeremy Gray said that on twitter a while back. So glad, going to be a fun season but don't think Rabby broke any news here. Basketball is going to be the same as will everyone IU sport next season.

I'll be slightly left of the blue play button when the game begins. Well at least by our first drive.

I’ll be, well, making 30 pit spots at various tailgates, then will make it inside the Stadium

When OSU comes to town.. I'll be the guy making fun of all those bafoons for spelling their 4 letter state all game.

My in-laws are OSU people. It's so dang dumb. All of their friends come to the game too. I can't stand hearing. We all know you can spell. It's one game that I always drink too much and get in trouble with my wife. I might just make my bed on the couch before we leave for the game.

Multiple reports that we will be at 100% capacity for football this fall.  Announcement includes 100% for all fall sports.

I've said some unruly things to visiting fan bases. Shew
