Let me know when Nick Marsh is in Cig's ear

You could have 4 different Cig facial expressions

AT George ARE Cig

No shot this man just called our coach Cig-nutti

We get the ball to start the 2nd half too

I always liked what Manning did in Indy where he had the crowd trained to be quiet on offense and then crank it up on defense. Surprised that never really took throughout football since it makes so much sense.

NFL scouts salivating watching how he's running this offense

See I hate this. It's just football.

Wasn't a great camera angle but I almost thought 58 punched Fisher when he had him on the ground

Should've googled him

I'd roll out the backups in the 2nd half, no point getting the starters hurt at this point. Shoot the backups still might be able to get us to the century mark.

Would be awesome to get a big enough lead to get Grant Wilson in the game to get a TD against his former team.

Gets his foot in the door as a returner, and they get to see more of him as a receiver. Outstanding news!

I know he probably wouldn't have played much but passing up Freddie McSwain again for non-Hoosier alumni is disappointing. He really wanted to play the last time.

Timmons is the son of former NFL linebacker Lawrence Timmons.

He's a guy I want the Pacers to draft, but it'd be a nice compensation to get him in Bloomington for a year. Huge potential.

Was really hoping he'd follow his QB here

Braden Smith isn't going to be a happy camper when he's getting smothered by our Taint.

Here's the first part of my initial response: "He shot 43% from 3 with 3 attempts a game his last year at Drake, what do you mean "he hasn't made a ton of shots"?? The form looks good and he's proven he can do it an entire season. If he was hurt last season I'd say that's a valid excuse for a dip in the numbers." Let's get back to the basketball discussion.

Again, you're failing to acknowledge the entire first half of that post which was statistically disproving your argument. The second half wasn't even "rah rah fandom", it was stating how silly it is to compare a previous coaching staff/player to a completely different coaching staff/player. At this point it seems you're just intentionally trying to keep the subject away from any basketball discussion. It's there if you'd like to shift this back in that direction.

All you did was quote someone else saying the same thing I did. I still haven't seen your response. I'm giving you a chance to "talk basketball" here but you seem to only have an interest in letting everyone know how angry you are. Which of course you've done plenty of in this thread.

This thread is 458 pages of a whine fest and I pop in with "let's give this staff a chance" and it's a lot of emotion? Wow. If you want to just discuss basketball, why did you ignore the first half of my post that was discussing basketball and only quote the second half?

He shot 43% from 3 with 3 attempts a game his last year at Drake, what do you mean "he hasn't made a ton of shots"?? The form looks good and he's proven he can do it an entire season. If he was hurt last season I'd say that's a valid excuse for a dip in the numbers. The kid's a Hoosier, let's give him and the new coaching staff a shot here instead of tearing them down due to a previous coaching staff/players disappointments.

The portal is like free agency in any pro sport. To get the top talent you have to "overpay". Ideally eventually we'll be adding more talent to the program via HS recruiting, but with no returning players (Goode pending) there's a lot of spots to fill and we'll have to dig into the portal to acquire some "win now" talent.
