Hoosier pfui. Entire state is a damn waste of space.

This. I struggle to come up with any redeeming qualities.

ET is from Chicago, but I get your point... of course, the first two had to leave the state to gain any value

I like their popcorn!

Nah that was a swing and a miss. The correct answer is...

I have absolutely no problem with Coach Meyer's recruiting approach. Like it or not, this is the way one needs to do business in order to compete with Alabama, USC, LSU et al.

Actual correct answer:

Hoosier pfui. Entire state is a damn waste of space.

They were tied with us last year, at The Shoe, 13-13 at halftime and were only down 27-20 going into the fourth. They also hung tough with MSU this past weekend. That said, they also let fucking Ball State hang 41 on them at home, so we'd better be able to at least match that.

I'd argue last year was far from "usual" in many ways.

You'd be correct. But, Indiana is indeed somewhat better than their normal hapless selves. They looked like an actual good football team for a little over a half against MSU. That said, once MSU rallied from two TDs down and took the lead, it was all over...IU folded like a bad tent. If we fuck around with IU they could give us more trouble than we want. Conversely, if we come right out and put up a couple quick TDs on them it'll be cruise city...

So does almost everyone (directional michigan being the exception).

I hate to interrupt this captivating dialog concerning Indiana time zones, but does anyone have any experience with the traffic coming from the south, particularly IN-37 through Bedford?

All roads in and out of there suck. It's a small town, add some more John Cougar lyrics.

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

I want to add my support for the "Fuck the traffic" group.

Seriously, plan to get there way, way early, or find alternate parking and walk. It's a goddamn zoo.

And if you're looking for food, Upland has a microbrew pub in Bloomington that's pretty good, albeit super popular and therefore packed.

And if things haven't changed, don't bother bringing your kids to places that serve alcohol. They were VERY concerned our, now 10 year old, would empty kegs eight years ago or so. Never figured that out, but I remember some strange rules about kids in places that serve alcohol.

Anyone else remember this (i.e. in 1976)?

Indiana was led by veteran coach Lee Corso, in his 9th season at the helm (he would leave after one more season to become an announcer for the USFL). Corso had made the program respectable, but he was mostly known in Columbus for a silly stunt he had pulled 5 years earlier. In a 1976 game at Indiana, Ohio State returned an interception for a TD, but missed the extra point. Trailing 6-0, IU marched down the field and scored to take a 7-6 lead. At that point, Corso took a time out and had his team quickly assemble under the scoreboard. He then had a photographer take a picture of the score, presumably so that he would have some evidence that his team had once had a lead on Ohio State. The lead was short-lived, and Woody Hayes ran up the score on Corso to the tune of 47-7. Apparently, Hayes was not amused.

The whole idea started in 1951 when Indiana beat Ohio St. Woody Hayes said "that football team will never beat me again- ever" before the kickoff of the 1976 game Corso ask Woody how he was doing and Woody just growls at him. Corso's response "What the hell are you mad at me for? I was 10 years old when those guys beat you" Woody throws his hat and laughs at Corso.

Ohio State gets a a pick 6 and misses the extra point and then Indiana drives down and scores to take the 7-6 lead.After the extra point Corso walks across the field and tells the official " we quit" official says "what" ,Corso "we quit. We ain't playing no more" Official says " You can't do that" Corso ask "Why"? the official says "your going to get beat" Corso "We are going to get beat anyhow. I quit. We're not going to play anymore" the official says " You can't do that" Corso "OK Time Out"

Corso then had the team and the photographer hurry up run under the scoreboard and took a picture. The crowd mostly Ohio State fans are going crazy, Woody throws his hat at Corso and is yelling. The ref says to Corso "what the hell are you doing"? Corso says"You know what mister it's been 25 years since Indiana has been ahead of that S.O.B. , and I want a picture to prove I'm ahead of him"

After the game the photographer has the nerve to ask Coro " Lee do you want another picture"?

Yeah I remember it, I was at the game. Wondered what the hell was going on when they, (IU), all ran down for the picture. Also remember the quotes you reference coming out over the following days in Woody's and Lee's coaches shows. Just how I remember it.

Abolutely make sure anyone who wants to be served booze in Indiana has a photo id, even if they're over 50 years old. For a brief period their state law required all buyers to show id. Last year they changed that so now state law is that they must id anyone over 40. But lots of places don't trust their 20 something year old staff to determine ages and they'll card nearly everyone.
