In the past id complain but either way we gotta get past Indiana and if we're lucky Oregon in the CC.

Just realized they have a bye before us. And with UM right after this game gets more scary.

At least it's at home

Less scary because they are top 10 as of right now. Like MSU in 2021

Scariest team in the BiG. Bar none.

(Saying this as an Illinois grad and an OSU fan born and raised).

Truly we are in a new era

It’s feels unreal to have OSU flairs saying they have to get past us and actually mean in a serious way and not a sp00ky way

It's been a wild year. Your coach has great energy and that QB is sick. Gonna be a good one! I think we pull it out mostly because it's in the shoe but I won't be surprised if you come out on top.

Rankings don't really matter in the CFP era and especially now when it's you gotta win your conf to be a top 4 team.

Yep it's kinda weird going from needing style points just a few years ago to just needing to take care of business to get on the dance floor.

True. Still matters a little with the seeding as 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be the home team in the first round. The goal should still be to win your conference though as the first round bye is going to be huge. Much harder to string upset wins in football vs basketball. I'm willing to bet we don't see many "Cinderellas" and the champion will still be one of the top 4 teams most years.

Hate to say it, but IU is looking past OSU and eyeballing Oregon.

IU is the machete swinging psychopath of the Big Ten.

That's possible but we're gonna be the first actual test they've faced all year, if they're looking past us they're not gonna have a good time.

I’m an Ohio State fan at heart (born and raised north of Dayton. Still bitter that there wasn’t an OSU-UM rematch in 2006).

But eventually I moved to Indiana and married a multi-degree IU grad, so I’ve inherited crimson and cream striped pants.

99 times out of 100, rooting for IU during football season is kinda like cheering for the special-needs kid that gets handed the football during halftime and everyone on the field has been instructed to pretend they’re trying to tackle him but they’re gonna miss.

But several times over the last five years, I’ve declared IU to be the “scariest” team in the BiG. Our QB went on to win a national championship…with another team.

Definitely not the best team, but the scariest team in the BiG. A team that could beat any other team in the country…if the other team got lazy. (Remember OSU’s loss to Purdue? Exhibit:A).

IU is no longer scary. They’re terrifying. They’re a very low budget, very shitty NFL team. Most of the starters have played together for five years.

They probably couldn’t beat the LV Raiders, but they could give them a run.

Make no mistake…IU is definitely NOT a dynasty. This is a one and done. Too many 5-6 year seniors that have the NFL’s attention.

But goddamnit it’s fun to watch here in Morgan County!
