My IUFB predictions for 2024 A winning season Offensive records will be broken Defense will have more than 30 sacks and at least 20 takeaways Ranked and in the CFP discussion at one point during the season Bowl eligibility earned by November Multiple NFL draft picks

No self imposed limitations. Looks like Coach Cig is changing the way people are thinking, including the press covering him on the daily. Osterman might be seeing things on the regular that he wasn't accustom to in the past? Honestly, I don't disagree with his picks. I can see some losses to other teams and some wins to teams he has beating IUFB. For example, I feel more optimistic against MSU than Washington. His caveat is Rourke staying healthy. He did a really good job explaining why he picked the way he did. 13 winning season in 13 years, the history this coaching staff has with QBs and is throwing his chips all in on those precedents. He only brought up Coach Haines once and concentrated mostly on the offense. Personally, I think IUFB will win more close games this year because of the defense. Buckle up folks, let's hope he's not too far off!!!!

FIU's presser. Coach MacIntyre had good things to say about Coach Cig. QB Keyone Jenkins is just a sophomore and played last year. I'm assuming he'll be a lot better. 4 wins last year and looked to struggle the last 4 games.

Nope.

Well, it's game week. Finally here.

Man, I'm trying to imagine how Boulder would handle that.

I'm not a big fan of him but he does produce results. His entire football resume from player to coach is just filled with results. He's 31-14 as a coach right now. Who knows how many wins Colorado gets this year but I think it's fair to say the coach will do everything he can to produce results. They made some changes up front that needed to happen along with bringing in some coaches that might change some things for them. Again, not a big fan of him.

A pretty heavy dose of Jaylin Lucas on FSU's 1st drive in Dublin. Would have been really cool to see how it would have worked under Coach Cig had he stayed.

Pat McAfee on Gameday just said he thinks NIL negotiations will eventually be at the school level and all schools will have a cap. Personally, I don't like that idea because IUFB would be kicked in the nuts if there were a cap implemented.

That's right. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I was confused.

Coach Kuntz was a GA under Kevin Wilson the following year (2013) as well.

"The culture feels a little bit different this time then the last time. I think it was year 3 for Coach Wilson when I got here and um, not to say that it had a losing feel to it but I don't know if the program was ready to take off. I don't feel that way anymore. I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like something special can happen." Coach Haines was a GA under Kevin Wilson in 2012.

I honestly don't think it was that bad regarding CTA. They were just answering honestly. Both coaches are night and day regarding the approach.

First, his name is Kurtis Rourke not Nathan Rourke. Second, IU can be a football school, with money. Third, comparing Lander and Langford to this is just dumb. And if he's even remotely close to a healthy 2020 Penix, he ain't going anywhere because IUFB is playing in the CFP, either hosting a game or in the top 4. These dude's don't get that IU has money and is in arguably the best football conference in country. There's a reason Lewis is taking a serious look at IUFB. And all the boxes are checked. Thanks for sharing, appreciate hearing other folks' take on this.

The front five is already stretched thin in depth. Let's hope this doesn't become an issue during the season.

And we're back baby!

I still haven't seen the first 15 minutes of it and missed what you're talking about. They made reference to Tayven later on in the show as well because I remember thinking, these guys don't have a clue on what's going on with IUFB. I just kind of shrugged it off because it's obvious they don't really have a full understanding about the program like we do. For me, they get a pass because IUFB has to earn their research/deep dives. You can tell they were just going through the motions. Unlike when they visited O$U. Another possible aspect of it all is they might just think G5 transfers don't have what it takes to compete in the conference. Who knows. Hopefully by like the time October hits they're taking extreme notice and singing a different tune. It's a process.

Tell us one IUFB head football coached that was hired with this kind of resume. There's absolutely nothing even remotely close or parallel to past coaches. We got ourselves someone that knows something, winning.

Well, poop. Best of luck to him and I look forward seeing him play at Memorial Stadium in 2026.

I concur. But he's not wrong if you think about it.
