They sound worse than we did during that last year of Woodson.

So much more enjoyable to be on the receiving end of this kind of talk.   Probably even putting more salt in their wounds because we've historically been so bad and a doormat for many of our opponents and now we're kicking a$$ big time.  The days of IU being an automatic win are over.

I read a few of their comments. A couple posters couldn’t believe Cig mentioned being short handed as they thought we were only missing one player (Sarratt). Can’t blame them as the announcers almost always just mentioned missing Sarratt but I think missing Evans, and Benson for some of the game, impacted us equally if not more.  
We really need for the OL to get healthy.

I read from Pg. 14 to the end - That is GOLD

[realTomCrean]

Pg. 22 about the NIL Talent Acquisition and win probabilities for PSU losses is staggering. 4 of their losses (NW, Indiana, Iowa, UCLA?) combined where PSU goes 0-4 is like .0005% chance

I realize some of their frustration regarding Cig's (shorthanded) comment; given they have played so many games without their starting QB.  However, I'm more surprised so many of their fans are now throwing the entire "interim" coaching staff under the bus.  Penn State played a terrific game and IU had a terrific (and some could reasonably argue . . . "lucky") comeback at the end.  I say lucky because those two tipped passes (on 1st and 2nd down from the 7 yd line) could easily have been picked which would have ended the game.  Nevertheless, Heismendoza and the Hoosiers pulled through to capture victory from the jaws of defeat.  Becker was amazing and Cooper's catch at the end . . . I will remember in a way similar to The Wat Shot . . . minus IU not being the underdog as Coach Crean's team was in 2011 against UK.

I just purchased a Bobble Head of Coach Cignetti from National Bobblehead Hall of Fame. It says the phrase "I win. Google me". The product will ship in March of 2026. They also have Coach Knight Bobble Heads. Pretty cool site: https://store.bobbleheadhall.com/search?q=hoosiers&view=ls&type=product

Yep. But honestly needs more NIL.

Yep. But honestly needs more NIL.  

So does the basketball team.

I think the basketball dream is kinda dead. At least mine. Be a top 5-10 spender. Build the best roster the coaching staff can assess and be strong every year. Reclaim blueblood status.

It’s just not going to go like that with emphasis on football. DeVries isn’t a Cig. No one really is. Unfair comparison. Dusty was our chance, but Michigan is killing us in NIL on basketball this year. Dusty made a good choice. Not sure the money is there for DD with football where it’s at. The win with less strategy in basketball is tricky. Rarely done consistently.

I was big on the devries hire but I’m back to wondering if they are going to even try.  
 

That kinda of question doesn’t get more NIL money.  I stopped watching the game on Saturday to spend time with my daughter but guys weren’t even putting their hands up to contest shots.  
 

If basketball happens great. But one thing I don’t worry about with the football team is are they going to try.

Basketball team is just severely outmatched.  I think they are trying. The B1G isn’t going to let us grab and claw like we need to do to stay competive on defense.  I’ve been preparing myself for a rough year once I saw what we did with the roster.

He’ll never actually come out and say it. Whatever the story is would love to hear it, but Saban and the SEC crowd are just not down with Cig. Would think they would eat up some blue collar football lifer who worked himself up from the absolute bottom but for whatever reason that’s just not the deal here.

He’s a threat to their employer. And the money. They want the big national stories to be SEC/ESPN and not B1G/Fox.

Any network that would allow this nonsense over its airwaves is not a serious sports network.  I would suggest they change their name to EPN.
