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

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.

100% capacity for IU football usually means the stands are half full.

Unfortunately true. But if after the past 2 seasons, with all the momentum and excitement the football program has going, the fact that we’ll have a nationally ranked football team to cheer on, and a legitimate chance to have a season that is unheard of for this program…..if it remains half full this season then we deserve none of it.

Never really understood not going into the game. Season ticket holder since I could spell my name. To each their own, but even when we were bad I was in the stands. 

Just always confused me seeing people in the lots with 5mins until KO while I'm chugging my last beer and they're just chilling at the Tailgate. 

Went to Tennessee 3 years ago, they were absolutely awful.. still had 90K+ at their game.

I 100% aree with you! I love watching the game. No matter how bad my beloved Hoosiers have been on the field. 

I did the same, went to a Vols game back in 1999 against Vandy.  Travis Henry got injured before halftime that game but he was still a monster while on the field.  Packed house, they were good but already had 2 losses in the conference and the locals were calling the season a disappointment, but somewhat hopeful to squeak into the BCS.  Makes sense because the previous year they won the whole dang thing.  Tennessee has something IUFB is striving for;  6 banners hanging at Neyland.  Recently I've been thinking Vols football is a lot like IUBB.  Great tradition that isn't producing what the fans expect. 

This is a complete guess but I would imagine if you went to a Vanderbilt game you would not see the stadium packed to the gills.

But.. you do at Kentucky. You do at South Carolina. You do at Ole Miss, Miss St. 

Life is just different in the SEC.

Totally agree life is just different down there.  Keep in mind though Kentucky and Ole Miss have banners.  Gamecocks are above .500 all-time record.  And Miss St. have been bowling 24 times with 14 wins.  The reason I mentioned Vandy as an example is I think the best comparison IUFB can go by in the SEC is them.  SEC football is stacked from top to bottom.  I mean Missouri even has a pretty good football history. 

With the exception of a handful of years IUFB has been the doormat for all things football.  But it appears to be changing.  And I'm on that train enjoying the ride baby!

It is frustrating to see why IU attendance has been so bad. In the 80's we had great crowds. They used to give us pass-outs to  go to the tailgates, but we always came back in the 3rd quarter to watch Babe Laufenberg, Ernie Jones and AT run the ball. Both my kids attend Ole Miss and SEC football is a sight to see. The grove is an awesome place to tailgate. But they do struggle at times with kids leaving at halftime. Saban at Bama gripes about full stands after halftime as well, and my kids say sitting in the sun is a ***** when its 90+ degrees in August and September.

Now baseball is a whole different story. Ole Miss averages 9600 for every home game. Miss State even more and Vandy is right up there as well.

I was including baseball when I said life is just different in the SEC. MSU gets 14K at a baseball game and our commissioner won't let us play out of conference games. Idk. 

I'm thrilled CTA has put us in a position like this. Incredibly fun and I do think the stands will be full this season. 

[IUc2016 7,121]

I am still pissed the Cincy game is at noon.

I really do think the stands will be full but the atmosphere of a 3:30 kick or 7:30 kick was something I was looking forward to with that game. Oh well, will nice just to be in the stadium again

I was agreeing with you for sure. Didn't mean to sound confrontational there at all.
