Indiana vs Purdue GAME CANCELLED AGAIN

[NashvilleHoosier 3,712]

With team activities still paused, scheduling this game on Friday is very suspicious, not giving the 2 shut down programs as many days as possible. I wonder if everyone already knows this game isn’t happening...

Hearing there are still doubts this game gets played. Big reason why they scheduled Iowa against Michigan instead of IU. This could be bad for us. IF we don’t play and Iowa wins, they will assuredly jump us and squeeze us out of a NY6 Bowl.

One thing I will say is bowls are probably less concerned with how well a team's fans travel this year since the stands are going to be mostly empty.  Probably helps IU as we're a pretty good story this year.

Really hope the game can be played! Want to see us Purdue say “Uncle” so bad, and watch us ride off into the sunset to a NY6 bowl :)

Great point. Yet, I remain confident in saying we travelled well for the Gator Bowl last year (or....this year?). TV didn't show it, and Tennessee certainly had more fans, but it was a good showing on our part all things considered. Regardless of where we land - Fiesta, Outback, Citrus - it's really a bummer we won't have the opportunity to prove how well we would travel to support the best team we've had in decades.

What's more likely to happen, IU playing PU in Football on Friday or IU playing Butler in basketball on Saturday?

IU playing Butler in basketball.

Is the Butler game actually in jeopardy now? Good lord, that place has been a Covid factory this season.

They played their first game on Nov 25 and have been shut down ever since.

I'd say football -- only because it's been two weeks since the last game for both, and they've hopefully had time to get issues taken care of.
But I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box!

When did we officially shut down football activities? Last Monday? Which would mean today would be the first day we could start back up again?

I think it was Tuesday.

If that's the case I'd say the basketball game is much more likely. If the league scheduled this game on Friday knowing it would be Tuesday at the earliest before each team could start back up practicing, it seems even more likely that everyone knew it wasn't happening.

It's a trick question.  The most likely outcome is we play football against Butler.

This sucks! Our best team in a long time, and we can’t take it to them!

Bum news about the Bucket game but at least there is good news that Coach Allen has been named AFCA Region 3 Coach of the Year.

Why reschedule it in the first place if it’s not going to happen? Idiots running the B1G
