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.

He brought the heat and I loved every second of it. "We want to be the best. You don't bring your kids up, 'We want to be fourth best, we want to be fifth best.' "Bull$h!t. We want to be the best." -Coach Cig

Looks like Team Builder is up and running now. https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/team-builder

Looks like IUFB is in the 80's. 82 OVR 81 OFF 84 DEF

That's refreshing to know they'll be pushing updates. Because IUFB's initial ratings aren't so good.

All things EA Sports College Football 25 here. https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/college-football-25 I'm gonna make IUFB's Coach Cig the greatest college football coach of all time. And it's gonna be glorious. Team Builder!!!!! Serious question, will they be pushing updates during the season to make player and team adjustments?

Sunseri has been recruiting him since he was like 8! LOL!

247 drops him to 4 stars and ranks him 46 nationally. The "stars" are aligning. By the time he flips to IUFB he'll be a 2 star.

He deleted it and I didn't get a chance to see it. What did he post?

In the grand scheme of things, it means nothing. 247 for example uses "the bell curve" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution It's basically the bell curve of a team's whole lot of player ranks. So I would think player rank is really important to set a curve. And the more the sample size the better for the curve? I'm guessing CTA's player rankings weren't that high compared to Coach Cig's. Who knows.

On3 drops him to 4 stars and ranks him 44th nationally. Oh man... this might actually be a very good thing for IUFB.

Just for comparison. Month of July CTA first year rank: 71, 8 total commits. Rivals 2 star NFL TE Peyton Hendershot being one of them. Coach Cig rank: 49, 19 total commits.

I could be wrong but I think someone like Lewis would make a buzz. We just never pay attention to it because it never involves us.
