G_d damn—this is the single best college football analysis broadcast I’ve ever seen. As in, next level-PHD level scheme analysis.

HIGHLY recommend if yall want to truly get into scheme details.

The IU/Iowa analysis begins at about the 32 minute mark.

I tried watching while doing some stuff around the house which I usually can do no problem but quickly realized it was so deep that I couldn’t multitask. 100% agree

I found the video while in the bathroom. Let’s just say I watched so long I looked like a newborn giraffe trying to walk when I stood up

Wow, That is really, really tempting. Maybe 4 hours from me.

They chose IU as their Homecoming game? That is so 2023 and earlier.

Had a guy at work who disappeared into a bathroom for 5 hours we fired him as he came out.  Funniest walk out ever

I don’t get it. People keep discounting us because they talk as if Old Dominion isn’t better than all of Power 4 teams. 

The people discounting us wouldn't know if a football is blown up or stuffed.   NONE of them ever played any sport at a level higher than high school JV.

Not really. It’s still around on all sorts of mirrors.

Very odd setup/format for this type of show, but it somehow works and these guys are the truth. I'd kill for something like this that's IUFB-centric.

One thing I really like about them is they're homers but they also realize how big of a test this is. Navy polo brother's strategy is to hope the crowd makes it hard on our offense, because they don't have anyone in the back 7 that can slow down our skill guys lol.

IU was just more physical, quicker, faster, moving around vs Illinois slower team in every way didn’t know what hit them.  IU fed off of home crowd.  
 

Now, Iowa will feed off home crowd and can IU keep a lot of bounce in there step and play with the amount of confidence and intensity needed to perform at Iowa??

I think what gets under played is the advantage that Coach Cignetti brings to the table. Nobody will ever out prepare him. By kick-off he will have viewed every play that Iowa has ever run and every defensive scheme they have ever played. This might be our first road game this year but our core guys have all played in tough road environments. I expect us to go there and take care of business. Coach Cig is changing the thinking in the B1G the way Coach Knight changed it in basketball.

[DChoosier 10,163]

I think we will win by 14 or so but looking forward to seeing how the guys handle the road environment.  

Glad we have this road game prior to the Oregon road game and think the three game progression of Illini, at Iowa and then at Oregon is beneficial (ie much better than starting the BT season with, as an example, a road game at Oregon).

The birds got the fear in them.  Afraid of the Cig blow out!  Saying because Cig never lets up!  lol. I love hearing them talk like this.

I’m with Cig on this being a tough test. A lot of good teams went into that stadium and have come out with a loss or nearly lost, historically speaking. It’s also kind of natural to have little bit of a letdown after a big victory like last week. Just win baby!

The big question is if Cig waves at the hospital after the 1st quarter or if he gives this face...

Any way to watch this game on tv? Or just peacock? 

Not sure how helpful this will be for most people, but if you have Wal-mart+ you can get Peacock for free. And if you have an AMEX Platinum card you can get Wal-mart+ for free (free may be a little misleading considering the annual card cost).

The line on DraftKings is IU(-8.5).

[Dave from Dayton 4,125]

Did I hear: "GAME DAY!"?   Yes!   

Today we start our domicile downsizing project bigtime.  But, I can take a break to get a sipping bourbon and cheer on Peacock(???) IU dismantling of Iowaaaay.  

Fire!

-9.5 now

Tickets have been going for ~$40 and even seats in the lower sections have been ~$70 the past week. I wonder if Iowa fans are kinda checked out on their program right now? Given all the talk about Kinnick stadium I would’ve thought this would be a hard ticket to come by.
