That was simultaneously the best and worst day I've ever spent in Memorial Stadium. The potential is there.

Same team. I also recall how incredibly hot it was.

Was at that game with my son, in the front row right behind the Indiana bench.  Saw a lot of telling things happen on the sideline in the second half of that game.  And I agree, that’s when it all came crashing down.

I’m curious, what were the telling things??

Absolutely miserable lol. But I didn't even care until the ejection/vacuum from hell sucked all life out of the place.

lol….Allen and Hiller bickering….around middle 4th quarter, it was obvious Tuttle was told he was going into the game.  Penix looked like he was hurt and couldn’t escape the pass rush.  Tuttle put his helmet on and came over and talked to the OL (sitting right in front of us) and talked to the other offensive players.  But when IU got the ball back, Penix went back out on the field.  Tuttle just stood there with a stunned look on his face.  Nobody even came to talk to him that I saw.  Told my son right then Tuttle won’t be here much longer.

Incredibly hot and the stadium ran out of beer and water at halftime

Fortunate that Cignetti's first name isn't Edward or Ernest or Ezekiel, etc., or the references would all end up as ECig.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but when we send play calls in from the sidelines will they be called Cig-nals? 
 

I have nothing on my calendar today, everybody. I’m so sorry.

Maybe we'll use smoke Cig-nals?   And if he 'flames' out we'll just refer to him as an ash hole.

Look at all these dads making jokes.

Ignore @Stuhoo and his stuBoo, keep 'em coming.

Chef's kiss, OF. Chef's kiss!

I’m just glad that we have a thread about IU football with at least 90 pages! I knew people still cared! Bring on Cigs, even though I quit them back in April! Lol

The t shirts write themselves:

We IUFB faithful are starving for this. We're here and ready to go. 

Man, I want a respectable program so badly.

Last time I went to a game, me and the wife had a great weekend in Bloomington and watched Penix and Co. shred Rutgers on Homecoming 2019. 

Being 4 hours away makes it tough, but we need a reason to get back to Btown in the fall.

Cignetti was just named COTY in the Sun Belt.  Hopeful they are waiting to announce so JMU could tweet it out and celebrate before he stabs them in the heart.

I've seen 4-5 Tweets saying Cigs and IU have agreed to a deal. Then I click on the source and see it has 20 or 30 or 40 followers. Obviously trolls. 

Guess they don't have anything better to do with their time!

Just a verbal agreement so far. Working everything else out right now. I'm guessing JMU is pushing hard to keep him
