Nerves are setting in…
Just one?
Hell, I drank a six-pack during the second half and the two OTs of that epic 1991 duel between Damon Bailey and Jimmy Jackson and had to finish with some Woodford.
Can anyone here play this game?

Woo! Starting to get a little nervous. Well, more like amped.
Those with boots on the ground, looking forward to hearing what our conference opener at night is like. Pretty cool.
There will be a drone show at halftime tonight. It was super cool last year.

Drone show last year was meh! Maybe they improved it from the Illini game last year with a better show, but it was just like a big fake firework show last year.
Tailgaters were setting up at 10:00 this morning. Crowd should be good. Perfect football weather.
Hoosiers are about to take the field. Still plenty of open seats in the Northwest corner of the student section...

Indiana will start on offense

Northwestern wins the toss and differs
My instinct is worth absolutely nothing but I really feel like IU is going to play well tonight. That won't guarantee a blowout or anything (I think NW is pretty good) but I think the Hoosiers play well and win comfortably.
