Checking in from Indy

Submitted by cweerapp on December 3rd, 2016 at 4:49 PM

Wanted to give you guys a set of eyes and ears reporting from Indy after getting stuck with a non refundable hotel and flight... Penn State fans outweigh Badgers by about 5 to 1 in numbers (and lbs). Most older fans than have spotted our Michigan gear (on both sides) have said they believe we're the second best team in the country, but Iowa is going to cost us our ticket The fan fest was great. Well run, with quick moving lines and tons of activities (laser 40, 3 point contest, wiffle ball derby, field goal kicks etc) Indy is a great place to party for fellow 20 something's. Never have kids. Tickets are extremely cheap here, in person scalpers going for about $20 Hope to see all of y'all here next year when it's our turn. If you're in Indy post where you plan to be until kickoff. Go blue

Oh yay. The old guys think we're the 2nd best team in the country.

Fuck Penn St, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio St.

Oh and enjoy the game!

Why book hotel and flight before the teams are known?

Availability for hotels sells out early for corporate groups. Flights are never guarantees with good prices if you wait too long.

What is the point of getting a good price to travel to a game you don't want to watch?

Yep. I am not excited for any of these games. Just awaiting the shitty bowl game we will get. Yes, the Orange Bowl is shit. If it isn't a playoff bowl these days, then it is crap and pointless.

Agreed. Go tell Jake Butt and Amara Darboh and Jourdan Lewis that their last game wearing maize and blue is meaningless. Tell Harbaugh too while you're at it.

You must have a really depressing life.

Be happy considering this time two years ago we were the laughingstock of the college football world, and we were light years away from even competing with MSU/OSU. Much less being in a position to beat either of them.

The Orange Bowl would be the most prestigious bowl game that any player on this roster has participated in. And to think that only two years ago, we weren't invited to a bowl game and we were losing to teams like Rutgers and Maryland. You should be thankful for the countless hours put in by these players and coaches to give us a great season. Just because they didn't meet every single one of your wildest expectations, doesn't mean you should throw away all that this team has given us. I for one will be cheering my ass off for Darboh, Chesson, Butt, Taco, Glasgow, Peppers, etc. as they play their last games in the winged helmet.

If they ever try to smack talk you, all you have to do is say 49-10. We outclassed them in every phase of the game. Both this year and last year.

Can't argue or debate the scoreboard.

I don't if I've ever interacted with a PSU fan in my life, but if I do find myself in that situation, that's exactly what I'd say. Just seeing PSU and Baylor having any sort of success after all that happened with those programs makes me cringe.

Penn State is a paper tiger. Even if they make the playoff, they are slotted at 4 against Bama. Every man on that team is a dead man walking the minute that game is scheduled.

That game would be 59-0. At the half.

Hopefully it's Mich - OSU and Bama - Clemson. Best 4 teams of 2016. Ratings will be huge. If it's Washington I ain't watching and probably a lot of other folks.

I'm eating at the Ram restaurant and brewery where an obnoxious Psu fan started the annoying WE ARE chant much to the dismay of the 4 badger fans in here. It then started a heated argument that turned in to taking about each other's hockey programs. WOW.

Go blue means go and our team nickname. Like go Green and go big red. "We are" means absolutely nothing!!! Soon I guess it will be "we're". What if I ran around saying "i am". Weird.
