This weekend is shaping up to be one of the more awesome weekends on record when it comes to great football: first off, it's the Ball State-Indiana showdown, then it's the Colts taking on New England in a battle of unbeatens.
Nobody ever had it so good when it came to having an eventful weekend, with all the excitement, anxiety & nailbiting that's expected for games like these.
Ball State & the Hoosiers are hoping to grab a bowl bid any way they can; each team knows there's a lot at stake & nothing to lose as well. The Hoosiers in particular are in need of redemption after a three-game skid & what better way to seek it than against my beloved Cardinals. Yet looking at the Hoosiers, they've not only got the home field advantage but a lot of expectations to fulfill: winning one in honor of Hep & getting themselves a bowl bid, a topic which hasn't been discussed lately...until now. But don't underestimate BSU & the fact that they're seeking payback for their loss to IU last season; they're out to set things right & want to get over the hump of not being able to beat a Big 10 team.
Then we've got Indy-New England. The past three go-rounds, Indy's claimed the upper hand against the Pats. But from how NE has been playing of late, can the Colts maintain their home field advantage as well as a newfound confidence that they can beat the Patriots for round #4? If so, not only are the last team standing without a defeat but they've got one huge chip off of their shoulder for the remainder of the season. Then again, nothing ever comes easy, not even against a former AFC East nemesis as formidable as New England.
Gotta love how this weekend shaped up in the world of football: go Cards!! go Colts!!
