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

Huh…. Never knew buying my IU roundball Hoosier gear would double as IU pigskin Hoosier gear. Nice surprise and economical, too!!

Stem the Tide!

ROLL HOOSIERS!!!

Blown away by the amount of IU people traveling to LA today. Not only was IND probably 60% people in IU gear, there were IU chants throughout Midway at 7:00am. We might have 70% of the stadium tomorrow.

Saw somewhere that the estimate is 80%.

Update: Flight Attendants just said they brought a plane full of IU fans from HOUSTON yesterday lol.

Feeling very blessed to have had these past two football seasons where we've played multiple "biggest game in program history" ... and again, tomorrow is the biggest game in program history (so far). The way Cig normally responds to those comments "it's the biggest game because it's the next game" gives me confidence in their preparation after a month off. Really hope we put the nation on notice by beating Bama in front of a large IU crowd. Excited, nervous, all that...

[Pagoda]

The news about strong ticket sales to IU-heavy areas is starting to prove out in reality.  We always traveled well for bball and we are now doing it for football.

A big IU crowd tomorrow could make a serious difference. Great job by IU fans.

A buddy of mine who’s at Rose Bowl Fan Fest says that it’s about 90% IU fans

So cool seeing all the Hoosier fans on the way out here and throughout the day. Early returns have Hoosiers outnumbering  Bama fans maybe 80/20. Not terribly surprising. 

Kid sat on the tarmac in Chicago for an 1 hour+ due to snow.  Was a long trip, but he and his boys are all there in Manhattan beach tonight (bunch of buddies are from there).  Have a party bus leaving at 9:00 for Pasadena.  Oh to be young again.  :)

I flew into Burbank airport today, and I’d say the ratio of Indiana to Alabama fans was roughly 4:1.

Sat on the tarmac at Midway for EVER this morning waiting to get de-iced.

That’s awesome. I’ve been wringing my hands for days on the best way to get out there. Party bus is an elite option!

I'm driving from South Bay. Probably leaving around 9.  If anyone needs a ride send me a DM.

Hopefully OSU losing will remind the team they have to be ready to compete if there were any lingers feel goods

Our guys all have a chip on their shoulder. I think we’ll meet the moment.

Looks like the parade will get washed out.

Rain chances by game time though has been reduced greatly down to 20%.

GO HOOSIERS!

A month layoff is not a good circumstance for IU…rhythm, timing, sharpness, bounce, accuracy, execution….advantage Bama….Latest IU by 7.5.  My prediction IU by 14

[RoadRage]

Are Don and Buck calling the game today on the radio?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Kind of a shame both schools have the same colors.  Won't be a clear disparity in the crowd shots except the IU fans will have a look of superior intellect and all their teeth when they smile.

Said elsewhere, but while I wish O$U would have won purely for the B1G's image, I'm glad we won't have to face them a second time.
