Indiana Hoosiers
Finally, Ohio State fans need to cheer and cheer loudly for the Indiana Hoosiers. While their game against Purdue was canceled this week due to COVID-19 concerns, the Hoosiers still have another game to play next week against the second-place team in the Big Ten West. That team will presumably be the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Buckeye fans should be pulling for the Hoosiers to win out for a couple reasons. For one, this is the only team that Ohio State has on its record that has ended up being a quality opponent. The better Indiana fares, the better the look for Ohio State.
The second reason Buckeyes should be the biggest of Hoosier fans is this: Ultimately, Indiana took one on the chin for Ohio State. Yes, even though the Buckeyes beat Tom Allen’s squad head to head, the rules that everyone agreed to had to be changed to get Ohio State to Indianapolis. It was the right move on the Big Ten’s part, but imagine being Indiana. And the Hoosiers have been gracious throughout the entire process.
So find some Crimson and Cream candy stripe pants and “Hail to Old IU”!
There you have it Ohio State fans. With no OSU football this weekend, be sure to cheer loud and maybe not so proud for the teams that can help our Buckeyes have a chance for a National Championship.
