Hamilton Heights bound - West in the 140's. 

Whaddya got for me Banksy?

You can take the D train to mama toos ( you will look cool if you go there) or go up a little around 173rd malecon for the best roasted chicken ( Hispanic food ).  If you have to be just around the area . I hear that “at the Wallace has a good burger or Harlem public. Golden diner 123 and Madison has great pancakes. For your daughter the chipped cup is a great coffee shop (149 street) . Love it there but you have to look at the signs because you gotta go downstairs . Easy to miss but the outside sit area and coffee are great.  Go to Katz deli . Don’t lose your ticket and tip to be liked at Katz. Get the bestest Reuben 
 

Utilize the d and a trains. Get u anywhere . Apple Maps also has subway instructions.

Can’t wait to see the buzz at the rock, how we compete in the trenches and Mendoza’s performance against quality competition!! Counting down the hours!!!

Kind of funny/interesting that this is one of the biggest football games in IU history and we have 2 1/2 pages of pre-game posts vs 5 pages for the IU basketball schedule…

[Dave from Dayton]

It's game day!! 

Rock & roll!

Enjoy watching the bison leave droppings for the Illinois mascot which does not exist at the moment...maybe the platypus... 

But more likely, the dung beetle.

Hot Take:

Prime Time game on a slow CFB weekend. Mendoza enters the Heisman race after a statement victory for the Hoosiers.

I honestly think we're gonna kick their arse up and down the field all night

Bottle this, chill it, and I’ll drink it by the truckload.

I like the confident posts.

I feel like we could win by 14 or lose by 14… I have no idea how this game is going to go given all our new guys.

I couldn’t be more nervous.  But that’s good — IUFB continues to make games very meaningful.

Go Hoosiers!

[Jeff Flabjohns]

I’m too nervous to make a prediction in the thread. Much of the CFB universe ‘wants’ us to lose this and confirm their bias that we beat up on bad teams. 
I don’t even think ILL is that good and Vegas agrees with us. We absolutely can not blow this chance to get a marquee win against an over-ranked opponent at home.

To quote the immortal Sam Kinison in Back to School:

“I like the way you think.”

It is wild as an old man who has been an IU football fan all my life that I am confident we will whip a Top 10 ranked team.  I'm so happy right now.

Thank you Coach Cig!  Let's destroy the crying Illwhini

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I’m confident. That’s say something in itself.

Let’s go kick Some IllAnnoy @$$!

Just briefly watched ESPN College Game Day and they did a segment called “intriguing undefeated teams”.  They listed 10 teams none of which were IU or Illinois….LOL

ESPN just doubled-down on their stupidly around this game. First they don’t come to Bloomington, and now everyone on Gameday, except McCafe, picked Illinois to win.

[LamarCheeks]

Pat Mac the only one on Gameday to pick us. 

4-1 for Illinois. 

F**k the Illini and this fat tub of goo ...

Someone once said that Bert’s pullovers can also be used as grill covers.  Lol.

On the bright side, the bettors like us, and I trust them more than the talking heads.

I want to win this game so badly.  Come on IU!!!
