    All that I can understand, but I still like him because he has a personality during broadcast. It feels like 95% of the announcers are talking suits. We are blessed to have Don Fischer, a great announcer and personality.

    What’s your beef with Gus! Him and Joe Klatt are my two favorites. Joe Klatt’s show is a daily listen for me. He covers CFB better than anyone. Urban Meyer is a good contributor on FBNK. admittedly nervous to play UCLA

    One of the OC/DC is most likely taking IUFB HC job upon Cig’s retirement in the next decade. If IU can keep Cig, believe we’ll find out which it is by Spring

    IMO it’s Dillingham who PSU pursues the hardest. Then, Will Stein & Matt Rhule. Diligence will reach out to Cig, but as already stated here he is a known Pitt/WVU guy + “we are the emerging superpower in CFB why would I leave?” He has talked a lot about his value of loyalty. Dolson and IU President gave him a chance when nobody else would, restructured contract to allow OC/DC to be top paid and have his own salary be Top 10 if he wins enough. 0% he leaves IU. IU will have to restructure his salary again this year, add onto the stadium, and bump up NIL to a top 15 level to keep the wolves at bay.
  7. So essentially if IUFB makes the CFP Coach Cigs grosses $10M/yr. Great compensation considering the allocation of $ to retain top coordinators/position coaches. Though IU is likely 25-40 range in NIL budget, certainly IUFB is top 15 in coaching salaries when adding OC/DC.

  10. I created a GPT model to use quantitative and predictive analysis on games via a criteria of pre-set information. My model had IU 49-7 last week. This week: IU 34 Illini 14

    Is Benson the anticipated starting LT? Was under the impression this off season he was a backup

    I don’t understand the negativity going on here. This was week 1 of a 14+ week season with a ton of new faces. Improve daily, weekly and we will have a true gauge on the team come the Illini game. Have you guys not been watching other games? Majority of teams are struggling offensively naturally. (Mich is up 14, Kansas state is losing, A&M is up 4). IU has talent and good coaching I don’t understand the pessimism at all. I used to watch IU in OT v Toledo, saw Navy put up 70, and go years without a winning record. These are literally the glory days for IUFB 3-0 heading into September 20th is my expectation. Win that and move into the top 10

    Big thing I enjoyed about today’s game is sort of the trend I believe in CBB that old players win. Game on the line: Wilkerson to Bailey. Ceiling E8
