Now, everyone in America knows about IU, but some elitist are waiting for the "all knowing" and expected hiccup to show reason why we don't belong with the big boys. Here's the current stage, we have our new Commander and Chief in the driver's seat and everyone else's envy. Scott Dolson should be named A.D. of the year for this one hire alone. To go along with this rocket-like trajectory of success, Scott Dolson and Co. should already have all the money to match ANY and all suiters ready at his disposal. We have seen the results of Coach Cignetti's "Blueprint and Plan",....now what will Scott Dolson's "Blueprint and Plan" be to keep him long term? Go IU!

Here's some motivation..... Michigan beat Indiana by 45 just last year...

I love the show. I have it recorded when it comes on. Lol

…ever watched the old Twilight Zone from the 60’s? Lol

^^^^ this! Lol

Coach Cignetti…says to himself, “ I’ve got better things to do!” I’m glad he didn’t. He knows when to turn it off. lol

I wonder if there’s some kind of small, hard, shell-like cover to protect the top of his thumb where the nail was? I almost imagine a rubber tip that covers that thumb with a hard top. I can imagine Michigan State will try whatever they can to cause discomfort to that tender thumb….

.....and wouldn't be surprised if he shattered a backboard after a monster dunk sometime this year! lol

I know... we were in section 26 about row 60 and that play was at maybe the 35ish? Where we were standing/watching was like looking right down the line when it happened. We had to see it on the big screen to totally see what happened and how it developed. It happened sooo fast. lol

...lol! My bad. I forgot about that. Yeah, we were at the game as we were both saying we too thought it was DPI... I was totally thinking about the one that Ponds ran back early.

That’s exactly where I thought we’d be, if not #12. I’m fine with it…. The higher you get the more hunted you become…lol

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, but loved hearing this…

I can't imagine Coach Cignetti would try to get Rourke back in when he could risk longer healing. Maybe he's trying to keep teams guessing. I fully trust Jackson and am actually excited to see what he brings.

......here's a new one! Hear me out. I will begin with, this though would have been insane and absolutely unheard of for ANY year prior to THIS year. If this train continues to roll and Coach Cignetti & Co. do make IU their long term/final home, we are going to need more seats to accommodate the droves of new fans wanting to be a part of this. I could never imagine Memorial Stadium with new upper deck seating or expanding up/out with the seating rows. Again, I'm definitely not trying to put the cart before the horse here, but it definitely has to be on Dolson's mind in the near future. I know, I know, win games first, lock down Cignetti and Co. long term, then.......? Go IU!

Same here...... So much so that I can't, have never and will never call him by his "stage name/names". It's just Coach or Deon Sanders. lol

I ran across these latest BIGTEN team offense/defense rankings. It really floors me as to how our defense (#7) can be ranked lower that both Nebraska (#4) and Northwestern (#6).... Big Ten Off & Def EPA Ranks School Off. Rank Def. Rank Ohio State 1 2 Indiana 2 7 Washington 4 1 Penn State 3 5 Oregon 5 8 Nebraska 8 4 Minnesota 10 3 USC 7 12 Illinois 6 15 Wisconsin 9 9 Maryland 11 14 Michigan 13 10 Iowa 12 13 Michigan State 15 11 Rutgers 14 16 Northwestern 18 6 UCLA 17 17 Purdue 16 18

My wife and I were just given 2 free tix to the game this Saturday. This is the first year we have not had season tickets and a parking pass. We have always tailgated at Gate 11. What's it going to cost me to park at the church across from Gate 11? I plan on getting there extra, extra early to ensure a spot.

Soooo, I would imagine Cherry would be next man up for Jackson?

....I mean, just look at the size of his legs! lol

I feel Julian knows the stakes involved with starting and being a backup if he plans on coming to IU next year. It's a risk all QB's are willing to take. Look how Jackson has stuck with IU, even after Kurtis started over him this year. It really says something about confidence these players have in Coach Cignetti, QB Coach Sunseri and this entire coaching staff.

^^^^this!!

It was confirmed on HSN…that he didn’t make the trip. Apparently something came up at the last minute….

soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!
