#1 IUFB vs. Alabama: CFP Quarterfinal at THE ROSE BOWL - 1/1 @ 4PM on ESPN

[Jeff Flabjohns]

So, so nervous. But even more excited to see our squad back on the field. Hope it stays dry

The narrative that bama fans seems to have latched onto is that Mendoza played worse when he played top defenses.  Which is apparently news and not simply a fact that all QBs have.

So they didn't watch Ty Simpson vs Georgia?

My wife and I are revisiting our honeymoon spot, Memphis (we’re foodies, not for Elvis lol). We were at Rendezvous for lunch- another guest stopped me. He told me he was a massive Ohio State fan, and was so happy for IU (I had my IU and shirt on), and hoped it was IU vs OSU every year for the title. He found me on his way out, fist bumped me and said “hope IU kicks some @$$”. First time I’ve met a decent OSU guy, and first time I’ve had a positive out of state football conversation lol!!

That ain’t happening if you believe the forecast…100% chance of rain…half inch expected.

Gotta think that helps the team that can run the ball and doesn’t fumble it

Let’s be honest here if they could walk and chew gum at the same time they wouldn’t be Bama fans

A game of this stature got us some rare Haines and Shanny pressers:

It's game week.  Let's goooooo.   Hoo Hoo Hoo.

Just pulled into Gibson’s Donuts (amazing!)- the car next to us had Bloomington plates. Both the driver and passenger were head to toe IU gear!!

[Hovadipo]

Latest NAM, GFS, and Euro model runs are much better news for those wanting to stay dry-ish at the game and for the team that can’t run the ball on a front 7 made of BTBers. An absolute soaker on NYE through late morning and then moving out before kickoff. 

[Stuhoo]

Luke Altmeyer and his supposed next level offensive line were purty darn confident that they would make plays aganst Haines' scheme. Altmeyer left that game as a beaten mess.

Ty Simpson reminds of a slightly better version of Altmeyer, but with an offensive line that is not better than Illinois.

I didn’t realize it was still a concern but apparently Cooper is officially a full go, per pretty much everyone all at once.

Rabjohns - Sources confirm what @PeteThamel mentioned — Omar Cooper Jr., who leads No. 1 Indiana in receiving, is expected to be full go for the Rose Bowl.

Do ticket exchange posts need to be approved? Not sure if I didn't actually hit post or if it's awaiting approval.

If anyone is still looking for tickets, I have 4 to sell (section 13 row 19) at face or less as I'd strongly prefer them to go to IU fans.

FWIW, I’m guessing you didn’t hit post as those don’t require approval. I don’t see it anywhere.

I’m tired of the disrespect from all these MFers picking Bama.  We gotta blow their doors off back to the shyt hole they come from!
