Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA... Forever and Ever, Amen!

[Lebowski]

It's always been there and for some reason P4 schools passed up on him.

^the linked podcast is a good listen. About halfway through. Nothing too new, but Cig says there was one clear portal miss in the last two years here. Wonder who that might be

Otherwise throws a little shade again at Illinois saying how much he likes to win “63-10”.

Without knowing the staff's expectations for each guy, it's tough to say. The one that jumps out to me is Depaepe, but there are a handful of guys they've brought in that didn't do a thing and some that were in the portal before we even hit November. Especially in year one.

So my guess is Depaepe. Secondary guesses are Amariyun Knighten or Makai Jackson.

I've seen a couple of these with him on top.  Turning around IU is just remarkable and it is being recognized.

Totally normal. IUFB is on top of the College Football world. Totally normal, nothing to see here. Same ole, same ole. 

Honestly though, this is effin' insane, man. I don't think I'll ever come off of this cloud, ever.
