More from IUFB and Cig's newest fan. This Cig interview is getting the most views from his interview series. He also gushes about IU fans. Pretty cool.

Why don’t you apply?

Huge weekend for recruiting with the opportunity for coaching staffs to watch players in person.

I watched these last night, and he talks about driving the pace car around the speedway a couple of times already. He wasn't going to go full throttle in it LOL.

Might have to pull out my Schwarbs Cubs jersey this weekend.

Here is the video of the Q and A. He is happy that they have size which was probably their biggest weakness last year IMO.

Maybe we could offer the last scholarship to the son of one of the B1G referees. (Like Wisconsin does?)

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/48627615/ranking-offseason-college-football-power-4-teams-2026#nd ESPN article titled "Ranking the Offseason for Every Power 4 College Football Team" Overall top 10 1. Indiana Hoosiers: Indiana isn't going anywhere after winning its first national title, putting together an offseason that sets up the team for even more success. The coaching staff continuity is staggering, and Indiana addressed clear portal needs at quarterback, wide receiver and pass rusher, while retaining core players at offensive line, defensive tackle and linebacker. 2. Miami Hurricanes: Mario Cristobal's pedal-down personnel approach got Miami to the brink of a national title, and his program is showing no sign of slowing down. The Darian Mensah addition from Duke solidifies the offense, and Missouri transfer Damon Wilson II should help offset NFL losses at pass rusher. Miami also retained all of its coordinators from a staff that works well together. 3. Texas Longhorns: After missing the CFP for the first time since 2022, Texas had a very aggressive offseason in terms of players retained (quarterback Arch Manning and others), players added from the portal (wide receiver Cam Coleman, running back Hollywood Smothers and others) and even its defensive coordinator change (Will Muschamp returning to Austin to replace the respected Pete Kwiatkowski). The next step is clear: win the program's first national title since 2005. 4. Oregon Ducks: Despite consecutive blowout losses in the CFP, Oregon is set up to push for its first national title. The Ducks retained quarterback Dante Moore, a top NFL prospect, as well as their entire starting defensive line, wide receiver Evan Stewart and other key contributors. They again lost no starters in the portal, while adding Minnesota safety Koi Perich and others. Coach Dan Lanning's internal promotions for the coordinator roles are worth watching. 5. LSU Tigers: The team that topped last year's offseason rankings certainly dominated the headlines, as Lane Kiffin's arrival in Baton Rouge kicked off a wild winter. LSU retained star defensive coordinator Blake Baker, brought over key assistants from Ole Miss and made portal splashes with quarterback Sam Leavitt, offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, defensive lineman Princewill Umanmielen and others. The staff also kept Whit Weeks and others from the 2025 roster. 6. USC Trojans: Lincoln Riley says USC's championship window is opening now in Year 5. The Trojans have backed up that ambition with major investment in their roster and the No. 1-ranked recruiting class, and they answered their few lingering needs with proven portal talent. The big wild card here is new DC Gary Patterson and how quickly he gets this defense playing up to his elite standards. 7. Texas Tech Red Raiders: We're not dropping Texas Tech out of the top 10 at this time despite the uncertainty around quarterback Brendan Sorsby's eligibility amid an NCAA gambling investigation. The Red Raiders checked every other box with their offseason recruiting victories, reloading with premium portal pickups and blue-chip high school talent, to go along with strong roster and staff retention. 8. Ole Miss Rebels: The Rebels won their battle with the NCAA to get Trinidad Chambliss back for another year. They kept star running back Kewan Lacy out of the portal. New coach Pete Golding did an impressive job of reloading throughout the defense via the transfer portal. He and his staff capitalized on their CFP momentum and did what they needed to do for Ole Miss to remain a contender in 2026. 9. Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Coach Marcus Freeman rejected NFL interest knowing this Irish team has more than enough coming back to make another CFP run. The Irish have a ton of talent for 2026, inked a top-five recruiting class, and met their portal needs with high-upside additions at defensive tackle and wide receiver. 10. Ohio State Buckeyes: Georgia, Texas A&M and several other programs had great offseasons. But it's hard to nitpick much about how the Buckeyes' offseason played out, with plenty of star power returning and key veteran additions on defense. New OC Arthur Smith's influence on the offensive direction will be intriguing to follow as this squad pursues its second national championship in three years.

IU/Scott/Pam already locked up Cig, but it's cool to see him start to become a "Hoosier" beyond just being the FB coach. This event was sold out. In a little over a week he's going to play a big role in the biggest event in the state. Very cool. IU handed out these towels last night. Poor IUBB, had to add "historic" in front of blueblood...

Women open NCAA tournament play this evening at 8:00 ET in Knoxville, TN vs. Virginia. Televised on ESPN. Preview Live Stats

Hit his 358th career MLB Home Run!! This ties him with: Yogi Berra (HOF) and Carlos Lee. He is tied for 95th place on the all-time MLB Home Run list and is 9th among Active player.

As it stands before the season even gets rolling, it's reasonable to suspect those four guys (Yigi, AS, Burton & Lindsey) to be on the floor together quite a bit. Again as of now looking in it feels a little suspect we don't have more proven depth at the 4/5 and 1. But....I assume this staff has a plan to work around the potential weakness within this roster build. Of course the big question is will they be able to compensate and/or will we be proven wrong about a perceived lack of depth? Again, hoping they can pull a rabbit out the hat with the last couple of scholarships.

Last night there was an event in Carmel with both Cig and DDV. Full Q and A at the link below. https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/coach-qa-indiana-coaches-curt-cignetti-darian-devries-speak-at-victory-vision-a-night-with-iu-athletics/

Last night there was an event in Carmel with both Cig and DDV. During that event DDV mentioned that the upcoming trip to Peru allows for an additional 6 weeks of practice and not the traditional 10-days. International players can't play in the event, but they can practice with the team, make the trip and participate in all of the other activities involved with the trip. Full Q and A at the link below. https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/coach-qa-indiana-coaches-curt-cignetti-darian-devries-speak-at-victory-vision-a-night-with-iu-athletics/

I believe there’s only 1 spot left.

I feel like we really needed another wing and definitely still need another playable big. We could go from shooting 50-3pt attempts per game to 10-15 attempts. im not as high on this years team as everyone else may be. But we’ll see

We led 5-0 after 2 and didn't let this one slip away winning with a final score of 10-4. Neubeck started and pitched 6 innings giving up just 5 hits and a single run. But he wore out in the 7th and Vogel and Yarberry closed it out. We had 12 hits. Denny went 3-5. Ten Oever, Fry and Moore each had 2 hits. Ten Oever had 4 RBI.

Ah. Darn. Well at least the tourney should be better.

Games will still run through November in the fall and start back.in February so we are atill gonna freeze our ***** off. But I agree it will be better

My angle: I like going to games, and it always gets too darn cold when the tourney roles around. This should fix that problem. Which is nice.

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/ncaa-di-mens-soccer-moves-to-two-semester-sport-college-cup-pushed-back-to-spring-285190375/ Finally, great news for college futbol! 2 semester schedule will be implemented starting fall 2027. College Cup 2026 will be the last one that has to be played in December.

Good attitude. She could make some key contributions. Glad she is on our team.

Building blocks are fine and dandy but with..,(in the neighborhood of 20mil) for roster revenue, I’d say a lot of people want to win now. We are close no doubt, but you can’t fumble the ball at the 1 yard line.
