P.S. You'd better change your title before everyone starts busting your chops.

on traffic and time of day of course... The best route... Wait what was this thread about?

When it comes to conference record, both Michigan and Indiana are 8-2, so from a sheer win/loss standpoint, an Indiana loss helps us in the conference and likely in the polls too. That being said, I will also be cheering for Indiana in that game because my mind is unable to process cheering for their opponent somehow.

This is the best route.
February 8th, 2013 at 9:25 AM ^
Which route gives US a better path to the title?

IMO best outcome for M is if Ohio and Indiana split their 2 match-ups. Both get one more conference loss, and reduces the possiblity of a title tie.
February 8th, 2013 at 7:45 AM ^
The most likely path for this is for both teams to lose on the road. Therefore, I am hoping IU losses on Saturday.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:47 AM ^
But if I actually watch the game, I'm sure each Indiana make / Ohio miss will bring a moment of happiness.
Go <<Michigan B1G Title Maximizing Outcome>>. Which at this stage is the home team of any match up involving two of Indiana, MSU, OSU, & Wiscy. I think.

I am rooting for OSU to rout Indiana, which I believe will put Michigan en route to the BIG title.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:19 AM ^
I know that's a cop out. But if Michigan wins out, they win the B1G Championship.
That's what I'm rooting for.
But I don't care who wins this game any more than I care who wins a PSU/Nebraska game.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:20 AM ^
we already split with Ohio, is it best for them to take both games against Indiana just in case we get swept by Indiana? Or Is a split in their series better for us to win the B1G?
Also, Go Hoosiers.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:21 AM ^
This isn't football,most OSU hoop fans are okay. An Indiana loss helps us more. Not that it matters but I think Crean is a total jerk and so are Shehee and Olidipshit. Craft is annoying to play against but like Burke he keeps his mouth shut. Root for the home team.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:48 AM ^
in the Value City Arena?

I think you are overestimating the number of alumni.
February 9th, 2013 at 5:45 AM ^
With that said Hoo hoo Hoosiers:)
February 8th, 2013 at 8:25 AM ^
The more important question is do we root for Michigan to somehow not end up as #1 next week to avoid the curse of #1 teams against State?

We don't need Indiana getting any big road wins.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:47 AM ^
in order to predict the Big10 Tournament. This is definitely the year the person who knows nothing about basketball wins the office pool.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:49 AM ^
If we are meant to be B1G champs this year, the guys will have to play like it. Never root for Ohio, ever. Go IU.

I want Indiana to lose.
- It helps Michigan more (Indiana has a better record.)
- I really want Indiana to continue to struggle on the road. The knock on them is they can't win without Bloomington home cooking refs. Let this continue.
- Indiana fans care about it more, hence, more schadenfreude. Ohio fans know this is a bit of a down year. They just are a step behind Michigan. Having said that, to knock off Indiana in Columbus keeps the home team winning, and makes it more difficult for Indiana.
However, this does not mean I will root for Ohio. In terms of rooting interest, I am merely a dispassionate observer.
At the end of the day, this is as good as it gets . . . someone has to lose, and someone will feel a lot of pain. I don't care who.
February 8th, 2013 at 8:56 AM ^
Ohio State, without question.
Didn't expect their fans to be such assholes, but myself and a friend went down to the game last Saturday in Bloomington, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they're up there with the worst fan bases I've ever encountered, and I grew up in the Lansing area. Just completely awful people, and I'm not basing this on a small sample size, it happened a lot throughout the day. Who gets in someone's face just walking down the street and says "fuck you guys", or "get the fuck out of our town"? Also, grown ass men wearing those IU warm up sweat pants in public.
Couple the way they treat complete strangers for wearing the wrong team colors with a loss helping us in the standings, and I know where I'm at this weekend.
And yes, I know Ohio State fans also suck. I'm on a bit of recency bias here, but fuck IU, forever.
February 8th, 2013 at 9:15 AM ^
Need another Indiana lose. Only way we control our own destiny.
