I go into every game nervous and that isn’t a knock on Cig or a lack of faith in him. Just my experience as an IU football fan for a long time hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. This is a must win game and I am more nervous here than I will be for PSU or Oregon because we are not expected by media perception to win those. So, all we have to do at a minimum is be competitive and if we win either or both games that’s a bonus. We have to continue winning games we are favored in though and that’s where I get nervous about having an off day. Especially on the road.
I wasn’t nervous last week and I’m not nervous this week.
I’ll be nervous about Oregon.
My concern? The stadium atmosphere that was all IU last week will be replicated this week, + ~15,000 additional fans, all AGAINST IU.
Stay focused. We have a pretty good team.

If you were outside near Memorial Stadium during practice time this week you'd hear them blasting crowd noise over the PA. Not the same as a hostile crowd but it's something.

Cig hadn't ever experienced what a loud opposition crowd could do until Ohio State last year. I have to believe he now understands and will be better prepared.
@kelly_32 I bet Bayern is nervous. I’d be worried if he wasn’t!
Yup. When Bayern has a "bad feeling," it's a lock.
How you feeling, @bayernfan?
