Hell yeah brother. Good exhibition game early to get some chemistry going

Same day as a home Colts game is an awesome way to make nobody want to go

Oh yeah everyone will be tripping over themselves to go see Daniel Jones throw passes to defensive backs

No not that, traffic will just be a pain to get downtown for a scrimmage

I went to the Harvard game a few years ago. It was pretty packed for a low major game. A lot of fans there dressed in Colts gear as well. Would be a fun double header

Are the times released yet? Because if they're staggered enough, imagine that actually help with people wanting to do both

Colts game is at 4:25

I imagine they'd do the scrimmage at noon then, but I'm just some jamoke so what do I know

Yeah would make sense, still will be tough to park and all the bars downtown will have a pregame crowd. I’m probably not gonna do all that for a scrimmage at least.

That's actually a good point, I guess my brain was in real game mode versus scrimmage

Still can’t forgive IU for ditching the Crossroads Classic

Can I show up just to cheer against Baylor? I'm an IU grad student, just at the South Bend branch.

As a South Bend native I'd say take any excuse you can come up with to leave the city as often as possible

Two games in Gainbridge even though it's easier than ever to get down to Bloomington for a game. I feel truly spoiled.

Purdue was 4-7 in the Crossroads Classic. Pathetic tbh

Damn… if only y’all could translate crossroad classic wins to NCAA tournament appearances

If only y’all could translate NCAA tournament appearances into NCAA championships

Funny, did your great-grandpappy sit you on his knee and tell you about the times y’all won them?
