…ask Coach Cignetti about that!!

We have needed fresh young approach for several years now. This is not getting any better. We need an energetic, firey coach with drive and coaching experience in NCAA… When you have players in your huddle trying to fire the rest of the team up because of poor play, there’s a big problem. What a way to start Thanksgiving!

It's funny to think a few years ago that most if not all IU Football fans would have been happy to consistenly get 6+ wins a year and a bowl game. lol

I sure hope that given the opportunity, Coach Cignetti will definitely return the favor and “leave no doubt” when defeating Ohio State within a next year or two!

What are Coach Cignetti and Co.'s biggest offseason (positional) needs for next year from the transfer portal? I ask this because we definitely got exposed a little on both sides of the ball vs. OSU. With some good NIL money, what kind of players can we get or have to have? Cornerbacks, OLB's, etc.? Tackles, Guards, Tight Ends, etc. ?

The game was eventually out of hand, but was also closer than the score showed too. We are a much better team than we showed last night! Momentum was key and then sustaining it. I’d like to see this game played at IU or on a neutral field. I’m not saying it would be a win, but the out come is likely closer with a better opportunity for an upset. JMO

This recruitment got extremely tiresome and boring quickly!

I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but how much of a difference OSU losing their starting center affect the game Saturday and the spread?

.....uh......yeah, buying a team? Coach Cignetti and Co. went out and "bought" JMU players and various other players who were not so highly toughted players that honestly not too many other schools even wanted them. It's not like Coach Cignetti went out, flipped 4 and 5 star players from big time schools and paid them accordingly! The fact is, people don't like and probably can't understand how he could have done this in one season. The only answer is two things....... 1. Incredible coaching! 2. Buy in!

I love Coach Cignetti's approach to this game, specifically. He preaches, personifies and models his "blueprint". The press is continually making loaded comments and submitting to the hype (paraphrased)... "YOU DO REALIZE YOU'RE GETTING READY TO PLAY POTENTIALLY THE BEST TEAM IN THE NATION, RIGHT?" He always stays even keil, "not too high, not too low" and always delivers a refreshing, locked in form of confidence that is infectious. He believe and expects this team to go in Ohio State and beat them with sound assurance. I love it!

.....Hilarious!!! Dr. Jellyfinger,....Classic!!

These OSU fans downplaying anything IU because they’re not getting all the attention! They are such snobs! Lol

No matter how you look at it, “those in the know” or “on the CFP committee”, are waiting and almost wanting IU to finally “stub their toe” and lose. It’s almost like we have created a problem as if we are actually “ in the way” of someone else’s “rightful” path. I could actually hear this probably being discussed, “If IU would just lose already and get them out of the CFP rankings.” Look, if IU goes in there Saturday and absolutely gets smashed, then we don’t deserve some of this hype. On the other hand, what if we go in there and win by 3 or even a touchdown? Will we finally get the credit we deserve or will everyone including OSU fans make every excuse as to why they lost? What if we go in there and thoroughly thump them? Does it mean we are finally really good and deserving of our ranking or will mean that OSU isn’t as good as we thought. All I read and hear is just a giant pi$$ing contest and OSU supporters and fans like to pee a lot more. Just my 2 cents! GO IU!

I’m one of the baristas at our local church. I’m here now serving, every 3rd Sunday. We grind and serve 3 flavors of Humble Joe’s Coffee, Decaf, Regular and Jamaican Me Crazy…

I can only imagine that Ohio State's main objective is to try to pressure Rourke from the get go for as long as they possibly can. Not only that, I also think they will want to try to prove to everyone that we are NOT as good a team that people are labeling us. All I am going to say is IU will be ready for the challenge,....GO IU!

....didn't know where to put this, but would Coach Cignetti/Sunseri be interested in FSU decommited QB - Tramell Jones?

#24 Stanford comes to Assembly Hall this Sunday...... These guys will get better, but it may take a little longer than most of us want. Teri mentioned 2 guards were out that were needed in the rotation. These two loses could be a blessing in disguise. IMO, These guys will put together their best game of the season Sunday.

....I will end all this "what if's" and strenght of schedule crap.... We should have kept the U of L game for this year... Thanks (former) IU Coach Allen..... Allen is referring to news that the Big Ten will add USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington at the start of the 2024 football season. In short, he knows Indiana's schedule is already difficult, and it's not getting much easier, if at all, any time soon. Keeping Louisville on the schedule would add to that difficulty.Sep 19, 2023

No one is gonna give IU a chance to beat Ohio State at the "Shoe" next Saturday. It's been that way all year. The ONLY thing that will change is the line for the game. I feel if we would have thumped Michigan Saturday, the line would/could been as low 8 to 10ish. Coach Cignetti will definitely have them ready.... Ohio State will also be ready too.

How do you know he’s gonna be out to the OSU game?

I think sometimes we lose site that teams have had ALL season to scout/watch our games to have the best chance to bring their A games, not to mention, extra motivation play a ranked IU team. Those things can definitely make a game seem closer than it should be.

It would even more glorious to have more/new seating filled too!
