Saw several campers with Ohio St flags headed west today. Will we be outnumbered in our own stadium?

Flatten their tires or something. Do your part to slow them down, and help us to a victory

Somebody should switch all of the road construction signage that's surrounding Indianapolis and get them headed elsewhere.

Rick Bozich re-tweeted video of when Penix was injured.

 

Non contact. Left shoulder was messed up. Left it hanging to his side after TD pass to Hendershot. Maybe he injured it earlier in the drive?

What is the status of Penix? I heard JMV mention an injury as i turned on the car yesterday but that segment was ending and I heard nothing more. Peaked at this site last night and did not see anything so I assumed all was well.

Allen said day to day and a game-time decision. You didn't see anything on here yesterday because we broke the news on Wednesday. I believe he tweaked his throwing shoulder.

Now that's what I'm talking about. That's how we can help the team.

Tell them the game is at Purdue this year due to construction.  They'll be too consumed revenge from last year that they might actually buy and and show up in West Lafayette.

Heard through a friend that Penix is likely to play, no idea where the came from or the authenticity of his source but just thought I’d drop it here.

Hopefully that's true.

 

If it's non-serious, which is how it's currently portrayed, then play him against OSU and rest him the following week against UCONN.

I would go the other way, not likely to win this weekend, rest him to get healthy for the rest of the season. Don't want him taking hits from the #7 ranked team. We won't have a shot at a bowl if he gets hurt. We will need to upset someone so save him for the rest of the season.

Disagree. No self respecting team throws in the towel before a game even starts. That's the defeatist attitude of fans not players.

If youve been on I 70 between Indy and Ohio lately you realize they will be lucky to make to Btown in time.

That is an injury to be a little worried about in my opinion.

Is it too early to start calling Penix injury prone?

Yes

Interestingly Kent Sterling said he heard the injury was season ending:

That's the first I have heard anyone say that and everything I have heard both through chatter and Allen is it should be minor. I hope Sterling misspoke or IU is going to be in a lot of hell with fans in light of what happened with Luck.  

To me though no matter what a red flag has been raised if Penix can stay healthy long term. He did nothing that should hurt your shoulder at all. If his shoulder cannot handle two games, could be a rough career in the training room.

Knowing how upset the athletic department got that word got out anyway, I will just keep my thoughts to myself. That is why I said Allen said. I have heard some things that make you wonder. Hopefully short term.

I hate when people pull that crap. "I heard" his injury could be season-ending. What does that mean? I could say "I heard" he will play on Saturday and that the whole thing's a ruse to mess with Ohio State. It depends from whom you "hear" it. Hell, he could've heard it from his barber. That doesn't make it true. Unless you can back it up with facts -- or say from whom you heard it -- shut up.

I understand what you're saying. I always thought that too but had a conversation with Kevin Wilson once and he said more players come out of the Ohio State game injured than any other game on the schedule. So always felt like he was fighting an uphill battle the rest of the season. I don't know if that's true. There were many drinks involved in that conversation.

Kevin Wilson ... drinking? No way! That simply cannot be true!
