This summer, Stranger Things became a huge hit on Netflix. I bingewatched the whole thing in a weekend. Set in an Indiana small town in the early 1980s, the show may evoke memories of a Hoosier State in which the Big Ten really had only 10 teams. However (MILD SPOILER ALERT), in this town there exists a parallel universe full of chaos, mystery, and uncertainty, called the Upside Down.
As I was thinking about the upcoming season recently, it occurred to me.
Indiana is the Upside Down of Big Ten football.
I complained after narrow losses last season about the #CHAOSTEAM mentality, and how I expected better after five years under Kevin Wilson.
