Zlinedavid Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Ideal situation: we're up 41-0 at halftime and all 22 starters are parked, keeping everyone healthy for the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 60% chance of rain Saturday. Obviously 6 days is out is tough to forecast, but I think bad weather would help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s a good weather game, I think we win that one easily. But a team that can’t run is definitely going to struggle when it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised to see either team win. Even if we beat you guys, it’s still a disappointing season. Makes it a little better if we keep the bucket but not that much better.

milehiiu Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sorry Boiler. Think you are a standup guy. However, regardless of the outcome of the Bucket game. It's really great as an IU fan to know that... IU is going bowling. And PU isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this should be a one-year hiatus from bowling for us I’d think. Would expect a solid rebound season next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick glance at both teams schedule, I think both teams are likely bowl eligible before the bucket game next year. Obviously there is a lot that will happen between now and then. Hypothetical question for you. Let's say IU wins the bucket this year. Next year PU struggles again for some reason, and only wins 5 games, does Brohm start to feel some heat?

Agree re both teams next year. As far as next year if we struggle, I think it depends on the reasons for the struggle. If it’s like this year where the team was decimated by injuries, then no I don’t think there will be any heat. If we win 5 games and there aren’t significant injuries, then yeah I think some heat will be felt. With the amount of money we’re paying him (and for the record, I’m still glad we made the commitment we did unlike Rutgers haha) ) he’ll likely get at least 4 more years I’d guess unless something crazy happens. Attendance has skyrocketed and he’s recruiting at a high level. Will be interesting to see what the roster looks like once he has 5 full classes of his own guys in the program. We shall see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of at Penn State and Maryland at home, we get at Michigan and Rutgers at home. Obviously Rutgers is awful but still a tough road game against of the best from the East plus we have the bucket game on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talked about this a few weeks ago, but your schedule next year has so many 50/50 games. I could see it going so many different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming into the bucket they should only have 3 losses. I have Wisconsin, @Michigan, and 1 of @Minnesota or Iowa. Based on how good some PU fans expect them to be it may be only 1-2 losses. Based on their history of blowing winnable games it could be 4-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
