I’ll never forget his introduction at Big Ten Media Day when he first got hired. All the coaches get a chance to speak. What does Franklin do when it’s his turn to address his new conference for the first time? Talk about his team? The conference? His goals? His new direction for the program? Remember this was coming off the Sandusky scandal and Joe Paterno’s complicity/coverup/denial/demise. No, he bitched about how in the team hotel there wasn’t a sign outside the elevator when it stopped on Penn State’s floor that it was Penn State’s floor. All the other teams had signs on the wall opposite the elevator that indicated which team’s floor it was but not Penn State. He thought he should use his time at the podium to complain about the injustice and demand that it be rectified.

Saw that throw to the TE coming all the way.

Random and I’m high, I haven’t been to either but in my head Ford field is better than Lucas oil, why did the big get stuck here? Also why not Viking stadium?

Centrally located to all the Big 10 and no distinct advantage to anyone?

Give Frankin some credit for not folding. But maybe play a little defense in the 2nd half.

65 yards of penalties, 4 personal fouls sure makes slowing down that offense harder to do. 

Psu almost got Mike Tyson’d in that 1st quarter. They were not at all prepared for the speed those punches were coming.

Indy spent a lot of money to position itself as a premier convention/event destination. Downtown area around Lucas and Caseco (?) Fieldhouse are basically master planned for tons of hotel guests. And it's somewhat centrally located for B1G (or it was before all the Pac teams joined)

Tez Johnson seems like he hates contact more than any wr I’ve seen recently. Several times I’ve seen him step ob instead of fighting for more yards. One time he just went down before contact like a qb.

Don’t think it is once they moved east with the conference just seems low rent and again I’ve never been but this is what I’m thinking

You're right not to go, Indiana is a fucking post apocalyptic wasteland. They should have it in the only place in the Midwest that doesn't suck: Chicago. Play this shit game at Soldier Field. Embrace the cold

They have above ground passage ways so you don’t have to go outside during the winter between the hotels and conference center. 
 

Also, Dan Lanning is driving me crazy.

Forgot he missed 2 games before the last game of the season. Kind of makes sense to not take unnecessary contact when this game isn’t an elimination game but the next one is.
