2024 IUFB Season

[rcbowla]

Good news is this Washington defense gave up 40 points to Iowa the last time they played. Iowa. Iowa.

Hope you're right. He looked good yesterday but he also had remarkable field position and was spotted a 21 pt lead when he came in.

Washington is good against the pass and horrendous against the run. The game plan will be the game plan.

With the game at noon, they have to set up where FOX did yesterday rather than setting up somewhere on campus.

Has this been confirmed? I’ve been looking everywhere.

Which part? Noon kickoff or GD in Bloomington?

Location of the Gameday set.

I'm just making an assumption that a noon kick would require the set to be where the people are whereas a 3:30 or night game could allow the set to be somewhere more spacious. Maybe they use the practice fields so McAfee can have his FG contest.

Got it, makes sense. I wish they’d use that northeast corner of the tailgate fields like Barstool did, but the frats might riot if they double/triple the Barstool area lol.

Is the game still going to be on BTN?

Still on BTN.

IU up 5 to 13th in the new Coaches Poll

[Lebowski]

Another sell out. 

Just a heads up, I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer but the last time GD was in for a Coach Cig game, he lost it. Let's hope redemption happens this Saturday against Washington.

I mean, there is a sample size of 1.

Washington will be yet another game against a team coming off its bye week. The B1G really tried to stick it to IU this year. Too bad for them the Hoosiers keep winning regardless.

UCLA

Northwestern

Nebraska

Washington

That'll be 4 out of 5 B1G games against teams coming off their bye. Obviously,  IU had a bye before Nebraska.

Not super worried about Washington or MSU, even with Kurtis out, but do hope he gets back soon. Trust that the team will be ready to play.

If we win the rest of the games that we should, I think IUFB is hosting a playoff game this year, fellas.

MSU on the road is a pretty tough game for sure.

Yea. Preferably we have Rourke back for that game. They beat Iowa yesterday in East Lansing pretty handily after Iowa beat the brakes off of Washington.
 

I think we should be fine against Washington at home without Rourke.

With Rourke not playing that should spell any letdown game. The team will be incredibly focused to maintain their perfect record. 

[AKHoosier]

God I hope we hang 50+ on the Wolverines. I want to humiliate them worse than we did to Nebraska.

I get your point about teams having a bye week but, rather than the Big Ten “sticking it” to IU with scheduling, I think they gave us a 1 in a million dream schedule. And we “deserve” this schedule after years in the East.

There are 4 other BT teams in the top 25. We only play one of them.  Our home and away schedule was almost perfectly put together.  I’d take something similar every year in a heartbeat.

[LIHoosier]

13th in the new AP Poll too

That’s a little bit better than the pre-season BT conference (conference, not national) predictions of 17th or 18th !!!!!

Fortunately for us the game is at 9 am PT.

I get the Big Ten wanting to make a spectacle of these schools joining with all of these cross country matchups, but after the 2025 season they really should make sure the four pacific schools are playing each other every year (unless the schools vote the idea down).
