You’re right. Great point

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.

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.

Deservedly

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

Per ESPN FPI if IU wins Saturday, playoff chances will near 50% for CFP

BTOWN GAMEDAY?

The bar is the CFP! And this is not meeting the standard

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

10-2

Final four!

10-2 @Penn State L @ Iowa L

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

Is Kaleb Banks not the prototype build for what Devries has recruited to

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/5107490/justin-bailey He has 10 career DQ’s. Most among active players?

AZ is a glass half full guy now that Woodson is gone. I don’t believe anyone here disliked him as coach more than AZ. Don’t rain on him! IU 2026 B1G Champs

IU is a Malik Mack and a true big away from the best roster they’ve had in a decade

Saw Tony Adragna post he had the 3rd highest steal rate in the country. Can anyone here inform me where enright and Wilkerson stand in that category? We’re getting closer to counting deflections again. Winning basketball!

I remember watching that live. JBJ could shoot the lights out of a gym Yogi, JBJ, Ziesloft, Robert Johnson, Hartman. Troy Williams and Bryant were around 30-35% I believe. Incredibly fun team

As is inner-city Colorado Springs. A lot of cleanup has occurred over the last year. Overdevelopment is hurting the natural beauty of Denver area. 30 minutes in any direction and it’s just you & hiking trails, lakes, mountains, open spaces. Less concrete, more nature is my prescription. I’ve lived in a half-dozen states but have never enjoyed a place as much as Colorado. Hope Hurley likes nature walks!
