This morning’s coffee has a robust taste of anticipation. Brimming with the hope that the draw breaks just right and in two weeks I can walk over to Notre Dame Stadium and watch us wipe that smug look off those dbags faces

Have a few Notre Dame fan friends who have already resigned themselves to that if not more

Really looking forward to the ND game. No outcome will surprise me but I expect a good game. Their fans think they will be able to bully us up front and run it down our throats. They may have some success doing that but I think that’s okay if we can generate a turnover or two… with Leonard as their QB, willing to bet we can take advantage of a few mistakes / mismatches in the passing game. Special teams killed us vs OSU. We need all three phases to be crisp the rest of the way from here. Said it yesterday but I really like Cignetti vs Freeman in terms of the game plan, schematic adjustments, and scenario management during the game. 

Is it Dec 20 yet?

ND fans are in for a surprise when they realize IUFB isn't just an offensive football team and they're much better on defense than perceived. ND's toughest D they played against this season was NIU. IUFB's is arguably better. 

NIU's D is really good believe it or not. They're passing D and 3rd down D is one of the best in the country.

Our run D is the best in the country. Folks just don't really talk about our D, which I prefer to keep it that way. 

Folks, defense wins championships. I really like our chances in the playoff.

From one of their big forums… lol

They think it’s going to be like the Army game where they ran for 300 yards. Then call Cignetti overconfident. Lol I can’t wait for them to get a dose of reality.

I hope the players and coaching staff don't take us seriously, either.

Targeted ad came across my instagram, but this looks like a cool purchase!

2024 IUFB coffee table book, featuring IndyStar and Herald stories. It will include updates from the CFP so the end is still to be written!

Well damn. Hope they need to add a bunch more pages. 
 

I still want a legit book on this season. I have challenged a lot of sports fans to tell me a comparable turnaround like this and nobody can.

Personally, I think the fanbase will quickly simmer down with over confidence because they'll have two weeks to "Google" what IUFB has accomplished as a whole. I just hope they still think our defense isn't that good. But it's starting to look like they're learning. 

Both of these teams are really good. This is going to be a battle. If we're able to stop the run and execute in all three phases of the game, I really really like our chances. If it's another O$U spot 14 from the punt team type game we'll have to rely on some plays from the Football Gods.
