Update?

The first game of the Cignetti era:

Props to the Swanky Wolverine!
 

I cry like a toddler every time I see THE Mendoza dive and his parent's reaction in the stands.
Without a doubt one of the greatest stories in the history of sports. No exaggeration. That just fills my Hoosier heart. 

Nick Saban’s takes have been dogs!t this entire season. And if the greatest, smartest, and most accomplished college football mind can’t tell his @$$ from his face when assessing IUFB under Cignetti, then there aren’t any pundits whose opinions are worth two cents (sans College Football with Sam, BuffedinPrime, and maybe Joel Klatt).
I’ve already forgotten who won the championship 8 years ago. This team/season will be talked about for decades, maybe longer, because this was bigger than the game (to use a cliche). We just pantsed a billion dollar industry with a ballsier performance than Babe Ruth (allegedly) calling his own shot. 
They can hate us all they want, make up whatever excuses they want, etc. The fact remains that there isn’t a single coach in this sport’s history who could’ve done what Cignetti did.
All these programs that have poured hundreds of millions into their teams, sold out 100k stadiums for decades, and here comes little old Indiana winning a championship that was purely settled on the field. We didn’t get a narrative bump to make the playoffs. We didn’t duck anyone on our path. We didn’t have any luck on our side or benefit from an opponent’s injury to a star player. We didn’t cheat. There were no questionable calls that went our way. We weren’t a bubble team that got hot at the end. And the real kicker is we did it with 0-3 star recruits, all while playing a longer season and more arduous schedule than any champion in history.
This isn’t supposed to happen, but it also wasn’t a fluke. I think most casual CFB fans were behind us on this one. But the ones that weren’t, and probably for the reasons you stated, they can make all of the excuses they want to. Nothing like this will ever happen again in CFB, even if Cig wins another one here. 

This will never, ever, ever, get old.

I get what they are saying. If the game was a bit longer they probably win. But that’s only because the dirty play wasn’t getting called.  
 
I think that’s why Cig Kicked the FG.  He didn’t want OT. But wanted to force them to drive the field quickly. Something Beck couldn’t do

Nothing but pure joy in my heart for @IndianaFootball!! Congrats to the University, Players, and @CCignetti
 
Wonderful gesture on Tamar's part.

Can somebody with the needed skills make a 3d printable model of this?  I have access to a very nice 3d printer at work and my desk needs a little heroism 

Pretty cool. 
 

My next dog will be Coach Cig

Debating telling my daughter she can get a kitten as long as she names it Mendoza. 

So the referees last night. 
What year did they graduate from Purdue? Or how much money did they have on Miami?
Only 2 questions worth looking into.

Cheesiest dad joke from the Dan lebetard show ( based in Miami)… “ u were Beck, we were just Becker”

That’s gonna be a very high mod alert day indeedily doodley!

Seriously though, that was some of the worst officiating I have seen in a game this year. 

Some follow-up on the Fletcher incident with Tyrique per Niz:
Indiana football defensive tackle Tyrique Tucker tried to congratulate Miami's running back Mark Fletcher Jr. with a hand shake after a 27-21 win in the CFP title game on Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium.
Fletcher stunned Tucker with a sucker punch.
"I was just trying to congratulate him on the game," Tucker told The Herald-Times. "He tried to sneak me, everybody kind of held me back. That was a cheap punch. Luckily, we got the win, I'm not really too worried about it. He's salty, he going home with the L."
lol.  You're damn right Tyrique.
