Memorial Stadium

Where to start with this thing was absolute slugfest.

The first time ever, two top five teams have met in Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

Of course, these two teams met for the Big Ten Championship game last year, which Indiana won 13-10 in a low-scoring defensive battle.

More of the same here in this one.

Now, where do we go from here? Well, first, let's just jump into things.

four points that's it four points a couple of missed kicks and two fourth downs that went the wrong way and the streak is over ohio state came into memorial stadium and beat indiana 19-15 if you're feeling sick about it right now you have every right to be your team outgained the buckeyes your team won the third down battle your team had the ball at the ohio state 27 with a chance to win it at the end And it still walked off the field with its first loss of the season.

22 straight wins.

That's how long it had been.

A matchup that went down to the wire, lived up to the billing, but also, uh, the score barely does it justice.

Welcome in to Memorial Stadium here in Bloomington.

These are Snap Judgments.

He's Jeremy Birmingham.

... here's a negative.

That's the way that this game went.

That's also certainly the way that it ended, where most of the 52,000 people in Memorial Stadium were celebrating what they thought was an Indiana win.

Yeah.

If revenge is a dish best served cold, well, Mother Nature has complied with Ohio State.

It is a chilly morning here in Bloomington, Indiana at Memorial Stadium.

Welcome in to Pregame Keys.

That's Jeremy Birmingham.

Well, here we go.

The sun is coming up.

The cheerleaders have arrived in Memorial Stadium.

We are here as well for full coverage on 97.1 The Fan, 10TV, those YouTube channels, 10TV Plus, or anywhere that you are getting your podcasts.

What'd you think? I thought it was a pretty tough environment that, that they...

Like, I thought we were kind of curious, like, what's it gonna look like when Bloomington does this, right? And, and when Memorial Stadium looks like this, and I thought it was a pretty good environment.

I was down on the field for the last minute and a half or so of the game.

I was on the field, uh, for that last play to Nick Marsh.

They had closed the st- the elevator already at that point.

But-

They got, they got some work to do at Memorial Stadium on some of this stuff, but...

They're not supposed to be good at football.

I'll be joined shortly by Jonah Booker.

We're gonna have Heath Schneider, AKA Heater, on the show, and then following post-game interviews at Memorial Stadium from Bloomington, we're gonna hear from Steve Helwagen and Patrick Murphy, not necessarily in that order, but perhaps in that order.

All right, a lot to get into.

First of all, like, man, I'm really concerned about Julian.

You're always, you're always pure and true.

Yes.

I'm gonna bring in Steve Helwagen live from Memorial Stadium.

Thank you, Heater.

[tapping desk] Let's get to the college football games, guys, and I think the best place to start is Bloomington, Indiana, as it's the Hoosiers and the Buckeyes.

Biggest game probably ever at Memorial Stadium, uh, the last two college football playoff winners meeting noon Eastern on Fox.

Indiana puts two huge win streaks on the line here.

They've won 22 straight games overall.

Uh, and we do the midweek show e- every Tuesday as well, breaking down all of those games.

All right, uh, what sh- game should we go to? How about BYU-Notre Dame? Let's go to that ga- game next, guys.

What are you saying? Uh, obvious- look, uh, we talk about maybe the biggest game in the history of Memorial Stadium, where Indiana hosts Ohio State at noon.

Well, tonight, it's arguably the biggest game ever in Provo, Utah.

But if you look at Indiana, their first two Big Ten games were closer, I think, than most people anticipated.

And those games with Northwestern and Nebraska could serve them well if, in fact, what I expect to be a close game unfolds at Memorial Stadium, uh, in Bloomington, Indiana.

I think this is gonna be a close game.

You know what they say, "Steel sharpens steel." So Indiana's been tested twice here in the early going.

They've been waiting on the giant to fall.

And today at home, in the biggest game in the history of Memorial Stadium, it finally goes down.

And I was worried about it.

I was.
