Holy poop is this a big game for the program or what?  I was thinking, is this the biggest game in the program's history?  I'm not sure if there is a bigger game.  Maybe the Rose Bowl back in '68?  

If it wasn't the Rose Bowl, I'd say it was the game at Michigan State in 1987. If we win that, we win the B1G outright -- and go to Pasadena. Unfortunately, we got annihilated -- 27-3 (although we did lead 3-0!). If memory serves, we were without our starting QB (the late Dave Schnell), who had an emergency appendectomy a couple weeks earlier. 

I was in school then and even though he's a PU grad, my dad told me if IU went to the Rose Bowl and I wanted to go, he'd pay for it!

My buddy and I drove up from Bloomington for that game in East Lansing. I still that dumb “green” “white” chant.

That could have been a great game
