Indiana making a push to get Game Day vs OSU. LOL
- Thread starter icu81222
- Start date
Won't happen with Bama @ Georgia 2:30pm start and Notre Dame @ Clemson 7pm start. the same week.
They have beaten 1 FCS team. Florida International and Western Kentucky are both in the Sun Belt conference. Western Kentucky isn't a bad team either.
I don't think Indiana is any good and I don't think there schedule is tough. There best win is by far Western Kentucky and they had to come from behind to do it. I can't remember but I think Western Kentucky was favored.
But hey, just remember we're suppose to lose at Indiana. All the Ohio State fans (yep, all of them....and they're never wrong......never.....) and other fans on the Rivals Main Board say so. Rick Brown said so as well, so I guess we're losing to Iowa Sta- err, Indiana..........
At this point, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if Game Day went to Bloomington. It's about a 99.9% certainty that it won't happen even if the Hoosiers beat Wake Forest to try and make their case to begin with....but ESPN has made odder decisions before.

Hell, why not? It's a change-up from going to Tuscaloosa, Columbus, and Eugene every week. Indiana will never host College Game Day unless someone did a hard sell, like this. I think it would be fun.
In fact, I think it would be fun to have them travel to a unique location every week instead of the top sec matchup like they do now.

When they start selling more tickets to their football games than basketball, maybe we can talk.
Bloomington, Ind. for a football game? Why? People from Indiana don't go there for football games. Why would anyone else, especially the worldwide leader? It's not like Bloomington is Boulder or Portland or Iowa City.
Facts: Attendance for the 3 murderous opponents in Bloomington thus far:
Southern Illinois (W, 48-47): 36,071
Florida International (W, 36-22): 41,509
W. Kentucky (W, 38-35): 44,823
Of all the places in the world to send TV cameras for college football, Bloomington, Indiana, would be near the bottom of the list. But I guess it's nice to know Hoosiers can dream.

I went there in 2002 to watch the Hawks beat them. It was their homecoming game, the stadium was maybe 1/2 full (a good chunk of that was Iowa fans), and I parked 3 blocks from the stadium on a side street that could have been anywhere (it was impossible to tell there was a B10 game just around the corner).
Weak, weak a** fans for FB.
Game Day?? Now that's a hoot!

Unless Ohio State plays better they could be beat by Indiana. Their last 2 games have been rough. I don't see them going undefeated this year right now.
I tend to agree with this. It's easy to rip on Indiana football, but they have arguably the best campus in the Big Ten, and I'm sure they would live it up there if they were in that kind of spotlight. I doubt the location of the show has any effect on ratings. There would still be plenty of idiots with their signs and such, and the show would not include the game itself and its half-empty stadium. Thinking outside the box is something sorely lacking on this show.
They're at Wake Forest today for their homecoming.. There are approximately 3,500 people there.. Big draw they are!!
