One of the best fan pods I’ve ever heard. Maybe the best. I wonder if they can be recruited?

Yeah, I started watching that ANF Podcast and just cringed to hear them talk about our defensive front. These guys know ball. Dude just said, "one of the underlying best stories in college football is Cignetti's defensive line development and talent evaluation." The cat's out of the bag folks. I was hoping this could have stayed silent for at least a few more games. I've been consistently saying the D will be the reason IUFB wins big time football games this year. The Coach Cig offense is gonna offense. It's the defense that's the secret sauce.

I expect the opposing coaches know this. It's just the fans that are now realizing it. I don't see a downside to be talked about since it can help with recruiting.

Honestly, I think both the Illinois and Iowa staff probably thought their offensive line was better.

If the Illinois staff thought their OL had a prayer after self-scouting the 3 games before ours, let alone watching our front 7, then Bielema isn't as good as I thought.

Bielema was arrogant enough to think his OL was better than most of the country. At least he was talking that poop during the entire offseason. And everyone and their mother believed the lie.

Understand your position but those comments make a heckuva recruiting tool
