Lebowski

We will be at the UCLA game. He is making his second visit this fall.

This word is correct. The 'winning culture' along with the coaches 'make him feel wanted' has grabbed his attention.

I'm literally quoting Coach Cig's angst.

You're not wrong. Coaching matters!!! I will say this though, before Coach Cig took the job he was promised a budget and resources the administration had never done, ever. So while the type of success we are seeing currently might not have happened we would most likely be looking at a much improved IUFB program from top to bottom. A school like Kansas or UK more than likely. Dolson had a proper checklist for his coaching search. That type of checklist was the first time in the history of the program. You can find me talking about it ad nauseum in this thread. This is why I say, the IUFB program essentially started during the November 2023 coaching search.

A commitment to IUFB is a top to bottom approach. And so far we have a CFP appearance and currently ranked #2 in the country. Makes you wonder what took so dang long to this kind of commitment. Most of us FB first faithful knew this was possible, for decades.

Over the last three conference games these are UCLA's numbers that Coach Cig talked about in his presser. Rushing for 233 yards a game. AVG TOP: 36:30 minutes Starting fast much like 2024 IUFB. Outscored opponents in the 1st half 58-17 Completely ignore their win loss record, up to the Northwestern loss. They are a different team and 3-0 in the conference since then. Let's hope the 3 game sample size is large enough on film for our beloved Hoosiers to shut down their offense. Everything is new with this team.

My thoughts exactly. With Daley on the other side. The staff will figure something out for sure. And they'll place the players at the right positions to get production.

We are going to be tested. This game will probably be close.

Game 7 in the books. IUFB 38 MSU 13 Spittoon stays put. The Nandolorian probably looked his best I've seen all year. Definitely will be playing on Sundays. Next game: The 3 game turnaround UCLA Bruins

Honestly, no clue. If I had to guess, he's probably going to get red shirted. Losing Wyatt is a big hit. I'm assuming they'll work something out though. I trust the the staff enough that they'll have a decent game plan to fill that void. It might not even be at Wyatt's position filling the void if that makes sense. My personal opinion is we'll get a fresh dose of Stephen Daley. He had 2 sacks against MSU and is probably the best fit for the position. He had a good statistical game against Iowa as well. Regardless, the front 7 will be creative just like they've been all season.

The program pretty much just started last year. A lot of great players in IUFB's history but, buckle up, we're about to get some hof 1st rounders commit to us on a regular basis. Today's Rushmore might be obsolete in 5 years. Having said that... my top 5 Joe Huff (812), AT (812), Tevin, Bob Skoronski, Fisher/Ponds

Yeah man, I've been taking it easy for all you sinners out there. Cloud freaking nine!

He's taken time to visit the campus and he said we've been one of the more aggressive schools since his de-commitment.

Landing Hart has legs. I don't know if we'll get him but we most certainly have built a strong relationship with him. Lavar Keys is the other recruit we've built a solid line with. You can pretty much bet the house that any recruit from VA and MD interested in IU has a lot of sway.

Yes, from what I understand, all schools do this, unless there's a football team on the satellite campus. For example, UTSA has it's own team, so Texas doesn't count them. Another example, all UC schools, UCLA, UC Berkley, Davis, etc. etc.. Honestly though, I could be wrong, Texas might count UTSA grads?

Just take it easy, man.

Yeah, well, that's like, your opinion, man.

We are the hunted. Every team we face will be juiced and every game is going to get their best from the opponent. We should be good if we just continue to be who we are. Run game and solid D. No blown coverages from our safeties in Cover 3. No mental mistakes.

IUFB > IUFBB for me. always was, always will be. Shaking hands with the HC of the football team has always meant more to me than shaking hands with HC of the basketball team. I've done both multiple times on multiple occasions in multiple decades. Just because I value one sport over the other doesn't mean I don't root for or even pay for tickets to attend the other sport. You asked a question and I provided what that question you asked meant to me. No less, no more.

Decommitted from PSU.

Football first fan here. In the past it meant many white russians to help with the sorrow. It means, in 1987, Bill Mallory took shotgun while Bobby Knight was in the backseat. It means, the small victories, like watching Tevin Colman carry the rock and average 7.1 yards a carry throughout his 3 year career in the 812, are glorious to be a part of. It means, watching an IUFB game over an IUBB should both be playing at the same time. It means, while visiting btownbanners, spending most of if not all of my time in this section. It means, I can't tell you who's on the current IUBB roster and coaching staff but can probably tell you about 90% to 99% of players and coaches backgrounds on the IUFB roster. That's what 'focused on football' means for me anyway.

Top 30 S out of Pittsburgh, PA 247 ESPN On3 Decommit from PSU. No clue if he has any interest in coming to the new LB U. But he'd fit like a glove in a Haines system.

Top 5 OT out of Middleton, DE 247 ESPN On3 Decommit from PSU. We were one of the first to offer him.
