Completely don’t understand the people complaining about it. I loved the neutral support we got on our rise to the top, but it would be just weird if we were still getting that support after winning a championship and now playing against a team trying to make a similar rise like Northwestern. If NW was playing Ohio State everyone but OSU fans would’ve been pulling for NW too, and it’s almost a sign of respect by neutral fans to be on the other side of that now.

It is absolutely a sign of respect —or jealousy at the very least

It’s honestly kind of fun. I’m not used to this but it’s better than being an irrelevant team like we’ve been most of my life.

It is awesome. LOL

And I am happy today. I am one of the set of IU fans who see this as a nice win. Not the way you draw it up. Not the way you want it to go, at home. But a big ten win against a good foe.

Feels good because despite it almost being a loss, players fought like hell, made enough plays, and got the W.

I hated them more last year when their fans were acting like Indiana football is blueblood. They’ve been pretty chill this year and it’s not a lot to hate.
