For how much Cal loves the recruiting edge of playing in Indy.... Hell let's do it... But... Let's Indiana vs Kentucky first game of the season every year. Make it into a massive event at Lucas Oil and just fill the entire place. Could easily break the record for most to attend a game at Lucas Oil. Make it a freaking event like no other. Bring in all the recruits to watch. All the scouts to watch. And the 70,000 fans. Half blue, half red.

How is that? Davidson finished last season with a NET ranking of 46. That was only 2 spots behind IU and ahead of ~1/2 the B1G. It's a Quad 1 or 2 game, depending on where it happens. Also, 3 spots behind ND and way ahead of Butler. This looks like a good OOC game. Very winnable but a quality opponent.

Hmmm... Playing Davidson... Or I don't know who they could of played but from a list of programs like Texas, Texas Tech, Oregon, UCLA, Notre Dame, Arkansas etc... It's pretty clear, Purdue doesn't want the national spotlight and are perfectly happy with just being a very regional program.

I doubt few here would be hyped about a non-con IU-Davidson matchup to boost the résumé.

Why I still don't understand how this isn't happening. The first time these two teams play in the regular season it'll be hyped up.

That game does a lot more for Davidson than it does for Purdue.

Maybe it works out for them, but everything about this feels bad to me. Davidson lost an elite HC and a bunch of scoring. Torvik has them 103. So, it’s a possibly, though doubtfully, losable game against a team that may not ultimately be good. And are we 100% sure that they can sell out Gainbridge as the A side? They only put 10-12K in there and that slaps them right in the face with the little brother card.

I'm taking the under on 10K

It's on Friday night 

My bad, I stand corrected!  I just assumed it was on Saturday.  I can’t ever remember it ever being on a Friday, that’s why I assumed it was Saturday.  I won’t be able to attend, to far of a drive, dang it!

Not a fan of it being in Friday night because I doubt I will be able to go as well.

I’d love to get UK back on. I don’t even necessarily disagree with doing nuetral sites, although I hate to give in to Cal. But with the crossroads gone, I like the idea of having a game in Indy. 

I really don't care about the "where" to be honest. 

Have always wanted IU and some other team from IN to get KY and Louisville in some type of yearly classic. PU would be good. Butler if they every get good again. 

Also wouldn't mind a Kentucky + Tennessee vs IU and PU in a yearly classic. Or IU and ND...
