Not really sure what the deal is with WKU right now. Helton has won 8 or 9 games 6 of his 7 seasons, but they are downright pitiful this season.

Fine with me tbh it’s going to be my daughter’s first IU sporting event.  Lots of TDs to celebrate will be awesome for her.

Going to revel in the 4 pm kickoff for tailgating because I think this will be one of the rare occasions it happens this season

I’m really grateful.  I have a tradition of going to the Library book sale every 6 months in Bloomington. It was actually the last date I had with my wife.   My daughter and I get to go to that before heading over to the game.

We have the longest active home winning streak in college football.

I sit right by the flag. If it’s gusty enough, I wonder if they’re worried about it hitting fans on the way up? The thing is huge. They had trouble with the pole last year too.

Accuweather forecasting wind gust to 13 mph.

Jared Kelly - Don't see Indiana kicker Nico Radicic with the specialists during individual pre-game warmups. Paddy McAteer is practicing field goals right now. We'll see when the team comes back out in full uniform, but could be a second-straight game without Radicic due to injury.

Colin McMahon - Jamari Sharpe is going through initial warmups for #iufb, as he looks to return to action after missing the Week 2 matchup against Howard. Left the season opener in the first quarter, and had been “day-to-day” since. No official word, but the outlook looks good for the corner.

It ain’t easy having a huge flag

Huge pole can be a problem too.

Jared Kelly -

Indiana's pregame warmups are complete. To recap:

- Jamari Sharpe is in uniform

- A.J. Harris, Nico Radicic, LeBron Bond NOT dressed

- Nick Marsh was with the first-team offense in 11-on-11 drills

- Trevor Gibbs, Blake Smythe are dressed and poised to make their debuts
