All right, given our performance on Saturday, I think I'm ready to get my prediction on.

 

Iowa has an elite defense. If we can move the ball against them, we can do it against anyone. They have an OK offense. They're no Western Kentucky.

 

If they fall victim to the Curse of Iowish placed on Memorial Stadium, then we can do this.

 

Corn-growing fools who just picked the same first letter as all the states around them - 35

Soybean-growing fellas who picked the letter first. Or not last at least. - 38

I'm freaking lost.  Doesn't Indiana grow both Corn and soybeans?  I mean, there's more than corn in Indiana.  I don't know Iowa's agricultural climate well enough.  Do they grown soybeans too?

Yeah, technically.

 

But, Indiana corn is less frequently going to leave the state. Iowa is by far the largest producer of corn anyway with over double of Indiana's production. Indiana is more of an animal farming state. Pigs and chickens I think. But, they do produce the fourth most bushels of soybeans in the country, and it's Indiana's highest rated crop in terms of production so... that's all I've got.

 

I always said the most Indiana drive ever was connecting to 69 through Martinsville where a big field of soybeans was on one side of the road and corn on the other.

So you have IU - 38 and Iowa - 35. Confirming is all.

[Hovadipo 61,523]

Hoosiers - 31
Birds - 30

Why not?

Yes. I'd say I'll be more clear in the future, but we both know I won't.

 

Maybe you should take this opportunity to brush up on your facts about the major industries in the all the states wherein a school we'll play is located.

[RBB89 3,497]

Iowa: 56
IU 28

This would really, really surprise me.

I'll say Hoosiers win 33-30.

I really hope your prediction wins out.  I am in that dark place I seem to always get to with being a fan of IU Football.  Whatever hope I had for the season was dashed with the Rugers loss.
