Old Oaken Bucket Point Spread: Indiana Huge Favorite, But How Much is Too Much?
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — There is only one similarity to the Indiana and Purdue football seasons in 2024. Back in August, they shared the bottom of the list in the Big Ten preseason poll, with Indiana ranked No. 17 and Purdue No. 18.
They were both supposed to be awful. But, as it turned out, it only stuck with one of them.
Purdue has lost 10 straight games after winning its opener against Indiana State. The Hoosiers won 10 straight games before finally losing to No. 2 Ohio State last week, and they’ve shocked the college football world this season with their turnaround.
Indiana tries to close out the greatest season in school history on Saturday night when they take on Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket game. It should be an easy win, but it’s also a rivalry game and you never really know for sure what might happen.
According to the oddsmakers at the FanDuel.com gambling website, Indiana is a 29.5-point favorite in the Old Oaken Bucket showdown. The over/under is 56.5 points. That’s a lot of points, but it didn’t matter to Notre Dame, Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio State or Penn State, who have clobbered Purdue by an average of 44.8 points per game.
Here is what Indiana has done against the numbers all season, plus a complete breakdown week-by-week on the two teams.
Purdue hasn’t won a game since Aug. 31, and this 10-game losing streak has been very ugly. They’ve lost seven games by 17 points or more, and five of those have been by 35 or more.
They are 3-8 against the spread, and the over/under line in Purdue games has gone over six times out of 11. Here’s what has happened every week during the season:
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
