IU vs that school in ohio...

[ThompsonHoosier 3,416]

Almost 2000 retweets! With all the IU alumni working for ESPN (Dakich, Sage Steel, etc.) advocating for college gameday; the idea is definitely getting some traction!

If it was later in the season and we were still undefeated AND there wasn't another big matchup we may have a chance.

 The idea is definitely gaining momentum.

Ah. Either way this fun. Can't wait for wake on Saturday. Chance to play a power 5 school and see how we stack up. This team isn't good yet but they have "something"

Kevin Wilson the wet blanket

@MikeMillerHT: Wilson says IU doesn't win enough to fill up its stadium (to attract GameDay) and the game isn't a primetime TV assignment.

Ohio state will fill up the rest. Kevin, you're such a disease.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Pretty sure if college gameday came we'd fill up the stadium regardless of how many OSU fans are there.

Kevin, you're such a disease.

Beautiful.

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

I'm guessing CKW wants his team focused on winning, let the fans do the GameDay bit.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Lee Fitting will be on the Dakich show tomorrow at 2:30, should be interesting to hear what he has to say. Dakich also said Fitting told him that College GameDay to Bloomington isn't a joke at all.

Hes screwed no matter what he says. If he pumps up the hype train, then OMG HE ISNT FOCUSED ON WINNING FIRE HIM. He's being a good coach. The fans can still have fun though.

[RBB89 3,497]

Also the "prime time tv assignment" thing is actually BS. The Gameday game started at 3:30 or earlier 6 times last year.

[Bobman1 2,909]

Kevin just has to say what any other coach would too. Can't look at the mountain ahead or you'll trip on the rock right in front of you.

@collegegameday
Come to Bloomington! Watch the Hoosiers whoop up the Buckeyes

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

We're all really in to the idea of having people watch Ohio State destroy us on national TV.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,416]

There is real consideration about bringing College Gameday to Bloomington but I think there are some obvious risks/rewards that we need to think about. If we play competitively and keep the game somewhat close (or win?), it brings respect and some obvious national attention to the program. It would get the fanbase fired up and some recruits might take notice. The risk? we get blown out of the water and everyone laughs at us for even thinking we could compete, which also doesn't bode well for recruiting.

[BabyJandJDaddy 139]

Wilson has played Ohio State 4 times while at IU.  3 of those 4 games have been close and competitive.

In fairness, we've been being laughed at longer than a couple years past forever, so what do we really have to lose? I don't think a blowout loss to #1 will do a whole lot to Wilson's recruiting momentum. Rewards greatly outweigh the risks, in my opinion.

Yeah you're right about being the laughingstock of the Big Ten for years but I think most people believe the tides are turning under Wilson and the program is heading in the right direction. I think if it's a complete blowout (ala Wisconsin hanging 83 points on us in 2010), all the improvement talk goes out the window and reminds everyone of just how bad the program is. But the reward is also equally as high. I think either way, it's a high risk/high reward scenario.
