LOL Based on what they’ve done this year and how Purdue fans expect a Rose Bowl in 5 years, it should be a win. I may have missed something but I don’t know that Nebraska should be drastically different next year. These games are why I included the part about it being likely they have 4-5 as well.

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. Easy schedule? Are we looking at the same schedule? Once again, our non-conference schedule is far from a cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they been solid this year but wasn’t sure how good they actually were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the time of year it is held. An alternative would be to play each other, the first game of the season, when students are on campus. Colorado plays Colorado State the first game of the year. They have been playing in Mile High in Denver. But will be going back to the campuses in the future.

Purdue president pitches the idea Have long been saying this and I know Mitch has been saying since his arrival. He was on 1260 last month here in Indy and essentially said the brain trust up in Chicago (league offices) didn't think the game needed to be moved. Rivalry week tv implications,etc... In the current format the game either needs to be moved to September when students are on campus so that both WL and Bloomington can benefit.....or just move it to Indy as a last solution because playing a rivalry game when no students are on campus is bad optics for the programs and for the conference in terms of TV.

IU Scott Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Saw the early forecast since I am going to the game and so for it looks like it won't be cold. This is for Indy so Lafayette should be about the same it is supposed to be 55 and chance of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I got a bad taste in my mouth after getting curb stomped by the Wolverines. The only thing that can get that taste out of my mouth is an ass whipping of the Boilers at Mackey Stadium. And they can drink a big glass of moss-ade.
