Saw OU was up 10 at KU so I switched over since we played them earlier this year.  KU goes on an 18-4 run after I start watching.  OU now 10-6 and just 1-3 in conference.

UVA beats UNC at home. Plenty of good games tonight. Exception being ours with Illinois.

Yeah… we currently have old friend Eduardo Andre taking on older friend Tim Miles.

We remain Indiana’s only conference win— they fell to PSU tonight.  Our bottom dweller teammates (PSU, NW, and Rutgers) all appear to be set to make the dance this year.  While we remain… at the bottom.

 

if they can do it, we have to be able to do it too.  Right!?!?

One would think so but honest response is Wrong.

And Minny just won at Ohio State for their 1st conference victory.

And they took us to overtime, so they must be good!

I know that every game is always important, but this year, that phrase may be more important than in previous years.  One win.... either beating Purdue or not laying an egg to Illinois.  What's the situation looking like had we won either of those two?

 

- We'd be tied for 7th and not sitting at 12th.

- We'd be ahead of Illinois, Maryland, Ohio St, Indiana, and Minnesota.

- We'd be 1.5 games out of 1st place VS .5 games out of last.

 

There are razor thin margins this year.  The middle of the conference will beat up on each other.  EVERY game is important this year.

We'd be right in the thick of it. Currently, Lunardi has 10 B1G teams in and Penn State is the first team out.

Northwestern isn't playing at Iowa on Wednesday due to injuries and Covid. Might miss Saturday's game vs Wisconsin. Tuesday we then host Northwestern

Great, they'll be well rested for us.

Michigan State and Rutgers currently in a horn delay. Don't hear that one very often.

Purdue playing Minny.  They were referencing the “first” matchup.  I looked at Purdues schedule.

 

1.  In their first 8 games, they played us and Minny twice!

 

2. Their double games are Minny, OSU, UMD, Indiana, Nebraska Penn State and MSU.  Literally the bottom 6 currently and MSU.  Nuts!

[hskr4life]

Fully believe the B1G is going to beat each other up so much this year that they'll get less teams in the dance because of it.  

 

After UMD's win over Michigan tonight, we're only 1.5 games out of a top 4 spot.  Only 2 games separate 4th from 13th.

Either metal hates Assembly Hall, or the Hoosiers need to do routine maintenance/checks. Yet another piece of metal falling in the stadium:

Sheesh, that place is a death trap.

Iowa being Iowa

Scorching comments on Reddit.

Looks like the OC posed as a boys and girls club to get discounted tickets.  Either way, should have probably been offered the chance to pay full price.

Are people aware that the Illinois game where Caleb Walker threw down the monster alley-oop and Leonard Myers spent the end of the game sobbing was the game where the Orange Krush showed up

Do we know anything about next year's schedule? Other than a trip to KState and CU in Lincoln? Is there anything in line to replace the B1G/ACC challenge?

If I had to guess, we'll continue our Nebraska/SWAC Challenge.
