Who do you want UofM to face in Indianapolis?
November 26th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
No rematches please. All for Purdue.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
Yeah, let’s play those Boilermakers! Go BLUE!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:10 PM ^
Exactly.
Purdue.
I don’t want the rematch with Iowa.
Illinois is too much, “like us.”
And it’s something different…Purdue hasn’t represented the West yet.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:37 PM ^
agreed. Illinois is a very physical team. We don't need anymore injuries
November 26th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Either will be sheer joy! Purdue would have a lot of fans because of geography.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
Good point, but Illinois' campus is pretty close to Indianapolis too.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:49 PM ^
Purdue does not have a lot of fans
November 26th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
We want the Boilers. IU is just running right up the middle on them successfully. We'd destroy them.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
Purdue would certainly be different. Kinda surprised they're trailing IU at the half.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
I would prefer Purdue I guess. I would hate to give Bert a chance on a neutral field.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
Henna team. Henna team at all.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
its all gravy. homemade, none of that candy-ass canned stuff.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
Purdue
November 26th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
I think we want Purdue, but I also think we beat whoever we play. With nothing else to look forward to for a month and a championship on the line, a rematch is going to be very one-sided regardless of who it is with.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
I don't want to start a new thread so I'll just ask it here. Do we know which side we would be in Indy? Trying to purchase tickets. Thanks.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
I see we are the home team, but no idea beyond that.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
The Big Ten Championship game webpage states that the East champion is the home team this year. It rotates each year. We would be on the home (Colts) side of the field.
I got a ticket on the visiting side last year, so I can’t speak for sitting behind the other team, but based on how many more Michigan fans than Iowa fans there were last year, I would expect there to be a lot of Michigan fans around you wherever you sit.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:10 PM ^
Don't give a shit. Destroy them.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
Take Purdue. Tough to beat the same team twice, especially twice in three weeks. Bert and Co. would certainly be foaming at the mouth for revenge.
I think Michigan would beat them but Illinois has earned the right to have Michigan’s respect as an opponent that can beat them.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
GO PURDUE
November 26th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
We all probably want Purdue. They can have an odd game where they go off but Illinois is tough, even if UM looked past them a bit.
Either way you just gotta be ready but if given a preference I think you'd want Purdue.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
Definitely Purdue. Illinois is a tough matchup especially if guys are still hurt. Give me Purdue and their mediocre offense and defense any day.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:13 PM ^
I wish we could play the Buckies to crush their nuts again.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:16 PM ^
I could care less. We’re gonna smoke em!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
Purdue, new games are better than reruns
November 26th, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
Purdue. Illinois would be ok I guess as they will get UM's full attention and I don't think they will have a chance. But something new would be good.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
I wanna see Purdue.
We've already played Iowa and Illinois.
Let the pass rush and DBs get some practice against a passing offense.
In preparation for TCU or USC.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:20 PM ^
Doesn't matter. It will be an 8-4 Purdue team.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:25 PM ^
Give me Purdue. Illinois rematch scares me. Hopefully Edwards will be fully healthy. Blake seems done for the year
November 26th, 2022 at 5:44 PM ^
I hope Blake isn't done for the year. He has a whole month before the playoff game.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:25 PM ^
Go Boilers!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:25 PM ^
Purdue. I've watched them a couple times this year and nothing about that team says that they can hang with Michigan.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:26 PM ^
Neither will Iowa.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:25 PM ^
Ohio State again?
November 26th, 2022 at 5:26 PM ^
Who cares? Really. Purdue because it would be new faces?
November 26th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
Purdue. Would like to see them qualify and also for Michigan did not play a team they have already played. Michigan did not play Purdue this year.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
Doesn’t matter. We will kick ass!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
Illinois round 2 would not resemble round 1.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:31 PM ^
Purdue offense looks a lot like Ohio St and Maryland’s
November 26th, 2022 at 5:46 PM ^
With a huge helping of extra butt. They can barely handle Indiana's pass rush and only Chuck Sizzle can get any kind of open.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:39 PM ^
Who cares. Sit everyone & heal up. “Thanks for the invite, but we’re going to stay home.”
November 26th, 2022 at 6:26 PM ^
Nah, B1G Championships matter.
Besides, #4 likely plays #1 Georgia. I wouldn't want them before the national championship game.
Play everyone, win, rest afterwards!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:39 PM ^
Illinois doesn’t scare me, as Jim will hold nothing back, knowing what’s on the line!
November 26th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
Agreed. We played that game with one arm tied behind our backs. Now we can let loose and let it rip!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
The wife went to Purdue, so Boiler the Fuck up!
ps rematches suck for the winner
November 26th, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
You want to play Purdue? The giant killers…that Purdue? No thanks.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
Not Illinois.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:56 PM ^
We owe Purdue for 1976
November 26th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
Considering Illinois played us a lot tougher than OSU, not Illinois.
Everything from here is gravy, we're a good team, and we're in the playoff even with a loss, so my nervousness level will be roughly on par with playing a MAC team in September.
November 26th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
Illinois. Beat em again, no excuses this time Bert!
