Indiana vs #17 MSU Game Thread (Oct. 1 - 8:00PM - BTN)

[ThompsonHoosier 3,416]

Since no one had started this topic I will go ahead and do it. After basically beating ourselves against Wake Forest last weekend, we open Big Ten Play against the Spartans who are coming off of a loss at home to Wisconsin. Vegas likes MSU by 7 and ESPN's Football Power Index gives IU a 39.9% chance of winning. S&P+ does give the Hoosiers a 56% chance of winning though. I say lets go and get that Old Brass Spittoon!!

Feeney and Camiel still questionable.

[Dalton26 17,208]

Don't like seeing -or- after Feeney. Hopefully he's able to play this week.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,416]

It will be big if we can get Feeney and Camiel back. Hopefully we get to see Camion Patrick more out there. I actually saw that he was cleared to play and played some snaps against Wake Forest.

Cannot wait to see my first ever IUFB game in person!! This would be a huge win for our program.

Nick Saban says to Beat State!

Headed to Bloomington today for the game, I know 37 is going to be busy. Any faster way to get there or is that my best bet? Coming from Kokomo.

Good Lord! Whatever Bama is paying him, he's getting paid double that by Just for Men.

Where are some of the best spots in B-town to get IU gear? Looking to pick me up a new jacket before the game.

I'm going to have to find somewhere in Miami to watch the game because I doubt the hotel will have BTN

Best of luck. I bet that will be hard to come by in that part of the country.

TIS on 3rd street is always a safe bet.  There's a store on Indiana and Kirkwood and then a few more just down Kirkwood on both sides.  The IMU bookstore should be open but is usually the most expensive.

I SO hope we can win this game. Would gladly take a prediction league loss to see our Hoosiers triumphant. We need a win like this soon.

Yep, the ones on Kirkwood are good options.

Despite the construction, the one in Assembly Hall is open too. I prefer TIS.

Truth, need that big win, especially at home, so fans can get excited and talk about "I was in the student section when..."  It will help this year but will also help in future years. 

You have different level of fans. 

-  Fans that will go to a game no matter what (weather, success of team, time of kickoff)

-  Fans that will go to a game most of the time (good weather/bad team, bad weather/good team,  early game/good team, etc.)

-  Fans that will go to a game only when the conditions are right (good weather, good team, right time)

Obviously, the more winning a team does the more fans will show up.  However, there are key moments when you can turn fair weather fans into casual fans and casual fans into hardcore fans.  This is one of those games that could do that.  HOOSIERS!!
