No more concussions. No taxi-squad long shot status. And a career.

Smart young man.

“We didn’t finish the season very well,” Cignetti says. “We didn’t play like we wanted to play. We have some things to prove.”

That's fun to see. I went to middle school with Jon Gruden in Bloomington back when Binford was a junior high (it's an elementary school now) when his dad was an assistant coach at IU under Lee Corso.

Big thanks to you, Lebowski…for keeping a strong focus on IUFB.  We need to stay engaged as fans and as CCC says “not get fat and sassy or complacent”.  Appreciate your vigilance providing these updates for everyone.  Thank you, sir!  :)

I second this. @Lebowskiyou have done a great job taking the baton on all things IUFB. In all honesty I get about 90% of my IUFB information from things you share/post. Thanks Dude. Any luck on those Creedence tapes?

The other day Cig said something like “we got 81 guys on scholarship…maybe 82 idk” lol so I think that number will be fluid until the spring portal window closes.

Think you have to be careful doing that now unless the walk on is an upper classmen. Can't remember if it's next year or the year after that all players will have to be scholarship players. Probably want to fill with a true scholarship player? If they are walk on level then unfortunately I think you let them walk on down the street when that time comes. I know that sounds crappy and that's because it is.
