I felt this game warranted its own thread, however short. I'm not trying to compete with X week. I just want to show the results of an informal national poll by a "neutral" source:
Tickled to see us in the Big Ten Championship game this evening. Should be a great game beween two excellent football programs. My biggest concern is staying awake this evening.
Def gonna be a banger. Last year IU struggled upfront and couldn't establish the run or keep the QB upright consistently. They've had similar issues in the run game against stout fronts this season but have found a way to win. Mendoza is legit and has weapons on the outside. If they can keep him clean, I see a one possession game. If not, we should win comfortably. That said, we'll face similar challenges against a stout IU defense. Yes, I am sweating but I like us and giving the points, I just think we have more paths to victory
I was listening to Sports talk and they said this might be the last year for the game to be in Indy? Next year might be Las Vegas? That makes no sense to me.
I get it. There's the whole neutral site thing and now we've got teams coast to coast. If I'm Bama I'd rather not play UGA in Atlanta and if I'm Ohio State I'd rather not play IU in Indy.
A local kid, Caden Curry, is playing for Ohio State. He's a DE and is having a good season. I think his number is 92.
Yep #92 and one of the most popular kids on the team. Blue collar, lunch pail kinda kid....just works, zero drama. Sets great example for the younger kids, perfect locker room guy. Playing really good football, you'll hear his name alot, he's a force upfront. Love the kid, Mom and Dad did a great job
They’ve got to play it somewhere. Unless you play it somewhere where there is no conference presence then there is a chance it will favor one team or the other. We’ve had pretty good outcomes in Atlanta.
I could see it being moved around, go to Minnesota, go to Detroit, go to Indy, but not Las Vegas. Once the Bears build their new stadium I could see it in Chicago.
We can play that game too 187K views · 2.5K reactions | This Buckeye designed Indy Car met Ohio State at the Airport to escort them to the team hotel. | Adam King - WBNS 10TV
I'm ok with Vegas. They held the conference pre-season media sessions there this year after years in Chicago. West coast schools need a bone thrown their way and I'm always up for another excuse to go to Vegas
