So ask yourself, am I behaving like the Hoosier player I root for, admire, strive to emulate, adamantly boast about, etc ? I am curious . . . CHEERS!

I usually root for the B1G over other conference teams, unless I’m grudging against a particular school that year.

I’m on record with 26-5 for the season and pre-season, so hold me to it Ole Man, LOL.

Let’s hope, if that’s true, that he’s still with IU when it happens…..LOL.

I understand what you mean but I always root against Ohio St, Michigan St and Purdue no matter who they play. The exception for when I actually root for Big Ten teams is the Big 10 vs ACC challenge.

I think the ACC would have something to say about that. If you include the current conference alignment, it falls like this:
FINAL 4 FINAL GAME
ACC B1G ACC B1G
2001 1 2 1 –
2002 1 1 1 1
2003 – – – –
2004 2 – 1 –
2005 2 2 1 1
2006 – – – –
2007 – 1 – 1
2008 1 – – –
2009 1 1 1 1
2010 1 1 1 –
2011 – – – –
2012 1 1 – –
2013 1 1 – 1
2014 1 1 – –
TOTAL 12 11 5 5

B1G – MSU, MD, IU, OSU & WISC
ACC – DUKE, UNC, SYRA, GA TECH & LOUIS

From 1939 thru 2014, the ACC has put 59 teams in the final 4; 29 teams in the final 2 and won it 14 times. This compares to the B1G with 52 final 4 teams; 25 final 2; and 11 champions.

Top 3 in each conference as follows:

ACC – UNC 18 final 4’s; Duke 15 final 4’s; and Louisville 10 final 4’s

B1G – OSU 11 final 4’s, IU 8 final 4’s; and MSU also with 8 final 4’s

The ACC has 4 teams that have never been to the final 4: Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston College. While the B1G only has 2: Nebraska and Northwestern.

As an Indiana fan, we should be fans of the conference by proxy. When the B10 looks good, it makes us look better. Our conference was awfully close to having 3 teams in the FF last year. That’s a good thing.

Wrong. I want the other B1G teams to win out of conference, to build up those rankings and RPIs, so that Indiana looks all the better for beating them in conference play.

Apart from the Iu games and the duke vs. Wisconsin game I hope thr rest of the big ten loses. Im an INDIANA fan, not a Big Ten fan

I was about to mention the same thing. Im an Indiana fan and when anyone else from the Big Ten plays, I root for the other team. There are a few rare cases (national championship game last year I rooted for Wis).

Wait…is this a Big 10 Forum or an Indiana Forum? I couldn’t care less about what the BIG 10 has done over the years. I care about IUBB and IUFB. I would tend to route on certain Big 10 teams but have we lost so much confidence in INDIANA sports that we have to revert to the success or the non-success of the conference?

So age is now relevant?! Unless CTC’s in-game coaching mirrors Stevens when he was @ Butler, better add some liquor to your kool-aid.

No I’m saying that none of those three games excite me as a college basketball fan.

His comment reads, “B1G football” (not IU football) and he is 100% correct…it is abysmal and I don’t think any logical argument can be made otherwise.
