Before bowl games were announced what team and bowl did you want to play? What is your TN and IU score prediction?

Before the bowls were announced IU was hoping for Music City or Gator. We knew outback was a long shot. Anything warm weather and not west. We last went to Santa Clara in 2016 and the turnout was less than stellar. Once we found out music city bowl was not taking a BIG10 team. We hoped and prayed for penn state, Wisconsin in NY6 bowls because we knew that was our trip to Florida.

From a lot of projections we thought we were getting Kentucky. Which would renew an old rivalry that has been played 35 times. There was some excitement. Because Calipari ended our basketball series and refuses to play on our campus. We hate Kentucky as much as anyone and wanted to talk smack to that fan base for a few weeks. Ultimately Tennessee having more say over the gator bowl and telling UK to get lost was pretty hilarious too though.

As far as a prediction. Our defense has been atrocious, and our offense limited by starting QB Peyton Ramsey. ( Named after Peyton Manning)!!
Look if your offense has sputtered at all lately or feeling a little down. Our defense is the cure all. We can’t out athlete you guys. We can’t out tough you on the line of scrimmages. I’m not as optimistic as say Vegas. We are young and with Michael Penix id say we got this. Unfortunately he’s on the sidelines in a sling, and my prediction is Tennessee 38-24

If this is true I'm going to be physically ill........when I went there in the late 90s it was the #4 party school in the nation according to Sports Illustrated. These kids need to start putting down their dadgum phones and their tweeters and their snapchatters and MEET A REAL PERSON!!! Meet a few real people actually, then you go to a club or bar or someones house, you drink some beers (responsibly)........if UTK police are not making contact with you at least once a week saying you're too loud you're doing it wrong kids!!! how the mighty UTK has fallen.......😢😭View attachment 244022

Got two boys there right now. One graduates Friday. UT is still a great party school.

Saying IU is an ugly campus is the pot calling the kettle black here. Take a walk up Andy Holt by the blue tile aquatic center or where that bubble gym used to be. Stand in the presidential courtyard and take in a full 360 of Carrick, Reese, etc. if they are still standing (not sure since I know Andy Holt and Morrill have since been torn down). No, you are not in the Eastern Bloc, just the pretty fugly part of the UT campus. The hill and some buildings around the library are great, but man some parts of UTK are seriously dated.

What happened to Penix? I watched the MSU game night before last. I had caught a few minutes of various IU games during the season but haven't followed closely.

Penix is a good looking player. But honestly... UT plays QB's as good or better than him with better supporting casts in about half their games or more. Nice arm. Very good with the screens and short throws. But not scary. Really like your TE though. He's a really good looking player.

I'll try to catch some later games to see Ramsey.

IU doesn't really have any FB fans, they all turn to Notre Dame football fans after hoops season! Trust me, I'm 30 minutes from Gloomington.

I totally agree, but wasn't my point.

Not as much about you as it is others, but we haven't played them but once and its been a long time ago. They're in a different conference and are no threat to us. You tell them they suck, their program sucks and blah blah blah, but we have people here loving all over the friggin gators that live here. Lol, it flipped a switch, man.

Yes. The little 5. It’s a glorified party weekend. Not a lot of students care about the actual bike race. Just last big party week before finals
