And when the Hoosiers thump the Suckeyes, this injury will be the headline and the excuse to continue dogging us.

Lol; the underestimating of Indiana is real, but when we win in Columbus the national sports story will definitely not be about their center.

It will be about whether Indiana is going to end up as the national champion.

[Lebowski]

Common opponents. If we can execute all three phases of the game (Mikail Kamara and crew, especially you!), we rollin' out of the shoe with 12 wins.

I'm not so sure. Sometimes a narrative takes on a life of its own. I see two camps about Indiana this season. One loves the story and has been gaining followers as the wins continue to mount. The other is Indiana hasn't played anyone, and while a cute story, they will get exposed when they play a real team. I get it. We've been bad forever. What most people miss is that this is not even remotely similar to those teams. First time I can remember that we are good in all three phases of the game. I have not idea if we can win on Saturday, but this is not the Indiana football team that they have been familiar with.

Re: B)... I get it. That first prostate exam is a doozy.

Prostrate exam is easy peasy compared to having a catheter inserted. Would not wish that on my worst enemy 

[Banksyrules]

Had my first prostate exam. Sigh, I’m geting old.  They knock u out now. 

[Banksyrules]

Man I haven’t stopped thinking about this game. First time in a long time I’ve been so anxious.

I had a stent after a procedure to remove a kidney stone. Not fun at all and had to deal with it for three days before it could be removed. Hope I never have to go through that again.

It’s absolutely remarkable how quickly the national narrative has shifted against us since we beat Michigan. 
 

Good… hope it puts that chip right back on our shoulder on Saturday

Similarly remarkable how quickly threads devolve into the…more experienced…discussing having tools and fingers shoved into any and all cracks and crevices.

Oh you kids today are so damn soft.  Why back in my day they just told you to bend over and shoved in a corncob.

I'm dead at the national people/general football fans convincing themselves Michigan "isn't good", "sucks", etc.... it's nuts. 

Michigan's losses-- @ Top 5 Indiana, Home against Top 3 Texas, home against #1 Oregon, @Top 25 ILL, and @ the national runner-up Washington. 

Insane. 4 1st rd draft picks (we only played three of them with Johnson being out)+ Donovan Edwards... outside of their QB they are VERY good.

They lost to IU (IU!) of all teams. That just shows just how bad they are this year. Losing to IU. How the mighty have fallen... smh

Seriously, am I the only 1 who thinks he doesn’t look like a real human? He looks like a Westworld character, and not the HBO Westworld, the 1973 Yul Brynner Westworld.

Here is one storyline I have not really heard about: Ryan Day is 3-7 against top 5 teams. I'm pretty sure most of those wins are against Penn State who also has a coach that wets the bed in big games. 

I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. They are horrible in big games (Have been for 28 years). When the talent is equal or better, they just lose. That doesn't change. The biggest game Ryan Day has ever won was the 2020 Sugar Bowl beating Clemson. 

Ohio State can certainly win as they are the favorite. However, it's been shown Ryan Day has struggled in these big games. Now, this is the first big game Cig has ever coached in as a head coach. We will see what he can do in this type of game.

Officially a win and your in the Big 10 game for IU if we beat OSU

Let me rephrase that: He's never coached in a top 5 game before as a head coach. Yes, every game is a big one lol.

Well boys... I don't think anyone truly expects us to win. And that's okay. We would still be 10-1 with a shot at the playoff. Don't make the playoff? That's okay. Still likely 11-1 going into a bowl game. That's pretty amazing y'all. Now if we do win.... I think Day gets fired.
