I mentioned that the trenches scare me a bit.  NB leads the BT in both sacks and TFL. Think we will quickly see how/if  our OL will hold up. 

Our RPO/quick game will help a lot here. Doubt we have Rourke doing too many standard drop backs. I’m very curious to see what we can get going on the ground though.

Wonder where El Presidente ended up eating last night.  He was getting a lot of Little Zagrebs, Mother Bear, or Buffalouise.  So as you could imagine every “fan” spot in Bloomington outside of Little Zagrebs.  

He just got here this afternoon. He was walking around some frats and sororities. He staying at the graduate if you want to say hi. He will be eating at one of those places tonight.

Pretty sure he won’t be eating at Mother Bear’s again:

Yeah, I'm not mad at him for that. It's OK just not my cup of tea. We still go there sometimes but not a lot. 

By the way, Mellencamp put on a concert during his statue unavailing

soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!

I feel like most of the sports pundits I’ve heard/read have been phrasing it as “Can IU handles Nebraskas defense” perspective rather than the other way around. Nebraska hadn’t faced a top 60 offense this year.

Its kind of hard to imagine, because I grew up when NB was an absolute power and they have been in the weak West division, but if Nebraska wins tomorrow it will be the first time in 8 years that they have qualified for a bowl and and the first time in 8 years that they have beaten a ranked team.  Looking forward to disappointing them.

I went to the Army vs Nebraska game in 1972.  It was back when Nebraska was a powerhouse.  

Game setting was intense.  All of the cadets in grey.  On the grounds of historic West Point.  

Was in the Navy and a good shipmate buddy was from Elgin Nebraska and lived Cornhuskers.

What a setting.  Stadium was full.  Cannons booming.  Cadets cheering.  Some minority Nebraska fans...

Kickoff...

Game was over immediately.  77 - 7 Nebraska.

Well, the worm has turned.  IU will win by a gazillion.  It is written.

Wake up Hoosier fans it’s game day.

[Home Jersey 6,039]

Controversial take but as someone not at the game, I love the noon kickoff. 

[Dave from Dayton 2,838]

Oh my goodness!  Why do we have to wait until noon?     You know I'm right. 

 Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really excellent and different gesture be done on somebody's part.  Fill the stands for the whole game!  

We're just the cray cray fans to do it...LET'S DO IT!

[Home Jersey 6,039]

I think this is gonna be a dog fight. Definitely the toughest game yet. I think we pull it out for the home crowd. Can’t. Wait. 

[AZ Hoosier 6,398]

Controversial take but as someone not at the game, I love the noon kickoff. 

Yeah, morning coffee and 9 am Hoosier football in AZ. I love it.

[LIHoosier 25,517]

Looks like a decent crowd for the kickoff show

[Home Jersey 6,039]

Big Noon Kickoff

Big Noon Kickoff has begun…

and Bloomington is lit.

[hoosierdogg 3,114]

Hoosiers gotta show up, game really getting hyped.  Just flipping through channels randomly this morning, Huskers and Hoosiers talk is everywhere...ESPN College GameDay, even Fox and Friends.  Really pumped for this one...GO HOOSIERS!!!

[Home Jersey 6,039]

Really enjoy seeing the huge support for the team. Students and fans have shown up when the program asked them to. What more could you want. Great energy. Let’s win baby!!!

[Stuhoo 78,701]

Gus Johnson and Joey Chestnutt in da house!

Hopefully, they will assume their respective usual roles.

Very big for IU.  The national publicity is priceless.  30 years of pent up frustration.  Looks like place is going to pop.
