TheWatShot Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Is anyone else just kind of over Big Ten football? It's been awesome seeing what our team has done, but it's just been so much unnecessary drama at a time when nobody needed it. From not starting until October 24th, to having games get cancelled with no chance of being made up, to the league changing the rules to remove us from the championship, to the Bucket game getting cancelled, then back on again but maybe not...just tired of all this. Friday night is an awful time for this game if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative of having no season and not experiencing this run and program take a step forward far outweighs the "drama" or challenges we've had to overcome. Its been a fun year to experience in such unprecedented times. It's a great day to be a Hoosier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night is an awful time for this game if it happens. I'm not over it. In fact, I think it is wonderful! Just think: Watching college football during December during a pandemic is a riot! Watching Indiana beat Purdue in the Oaken Bucket Friday night game is going to be phenomenal. Watching these student-athletes learn to not give up during periods of adversity is...uh...enlightening and good for the morale of us Hoosier fans. Yeah, it has been a jerky, rough ride. I think it is even more so for the football players and coaches. Unnecessary drama?! To quote Shirley Temple: Oh my goodness! To quote Oddball in Kelly's Heroes: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Since I am a cup is half full kind of fan...I say...Kick the ball! Beat Purdue like a rug! And remember what that great ex-Hoosier football head coach Lee Corso said: Hawaii doesn't win many games in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Unaware. I have been told the bucket game has been rescheduled to this Friday. Hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidehoosier Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just watched 6 million dollar man’s press conference. They haven’t practiced since the Sunday after Nebraska and he didn’t sound confident they’ll play Friday. Also someone asked him about possibly playing in a bowl game😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Does anyone know if IU is practicing today? I'm guessing the answer is no, but wondering if anyone knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artesian_86 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Do we know if it is because of us or them? Are we actually healthy enough to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Greatest season in IU Football history and I'm glad we got this far. Sounds like to me though several schools...not just IU/Purdue are just needing to call it a season. Hopefully the guys can get healthy and head to Fiesta vs ND please.

Indy1987 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Another game would have been nice but a win over PU wouldn't have moved us up most likely. And an upset loss would have killed our New Year's day chances. At least we got several teams ahead of us to cheer against this weekend. I know I'm gonna be huge Northwestern fan this weekend. lol Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU is better off if Northwestern gets slapped down this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would put us as the 3rd ranked big ten team, and would probably knock us out of a NY6 bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably need to be at least 11th. USC is currently behind us, but they have an automatic bid as the PAC 12 champ. At 11th, if Cincinnati loses and falls behind us, and Coastal Carolina doesn't pass us, we'd miss out. USC, and the highest G5 team would take the last 2 spots. The B1G, SEC, ACC, and Big 12 will use their automatic qualifiers either in the CFP, or will be ranked ahead of us, so we need top 10 to guaranteed a spot in a New Years 6 bowl.

Heck a Northwestern beat down of OSU could move us ahead of them. Anyway out of our hands at this point. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
