Follow Axis No. 16 Indiana Football tries to stay undefeated against Nebraska

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It’s game day, Indiana fans! No. 16, Indiana hosts Nebraska. Hoosiers are undefeated at 6-0 and 3-0 in the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers are 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten. It’s the biggest game in Bloomington in three years and one of the biggest ever.

Read our live blog throughout the day as we cover the game as it happens.

Foreplay – Indiana injuries were submitted to the Big Ten for the Availability Report today, with all players listed as follows: K Derek McCormick, DB Te’Derius Collins and DT Robby Harrison are all out.

Nebraska lists K Tristan Alvaro and OL Turner Corcoran as ruled out.

• I arrived at the stadium around 9am. It was already Bloominggeddon. I live in Bloomington and I took Rogers Street to the bypass – this isn’t my first rodeo – and the bypass was already packed. I took a look at 17th Street near Rogers and it was already bumper to bumper before the Walnut/College intersection. Good luck if you don’t have a parking ticket yet.

• From then on, Oughta Be A’s legal department is an outrageous secondary market for IU parking tickets. When I looked a week ago, and mind you this was before Big Noon Kickoff, John Mellencamp, etc., the cheap ticket on an IU owned lot was $234. As I look at it now, it’s $300. This is not a ‘free market’. This is a weaponized secondary corporate market taking advantage of a situation. It happens here, it happens in many places and it takes a lot of people to attend games before even buying a ticket. Yes, there are other parking options, but some people can’t park a billion miles away. I’m going against the grain and don’t have a solution, but the secondary market for things like parking needs to be controlled.
