I would assume that Cig plans to go his entire career at IU without giving up a point to Purdue.

The standard is the standard. Win and win every play.

Man love cig. Can not believe he didn’t get more of a chance after working for Nick ****ing Saban. It’s not like he came from nowhere. He literally used to coach beside one of the greats

“Guys, as we step onto our home field for the last time, let’s give these Puredoo fans a reason to celebrate, like some may or may not choose to do for Thanksgiving. WHO CHOOSES TO BE WITH ME?”

During the IU presser, Cig gave more time and effort to be complimentary for Purdump’s efforts than Odum was there. What-A-Dud of a man.

He spent the majority that video explaining what he wants to do in the off season..... lol

...of Coach Odum's 11 minute pre game presser, the two quotes below are 99% of what he said that hand ANYTHING to do with IU Football....lol

 

Q: Is there any value in having a bye this late in the year?

“It was valuable for us, certainly. And I’d bet if you’d ask Cignetti, I’d bet it was really valuable for them. So, it’s all what you make of it. They provide the schedule early in the year and then you adjust and try to fit what’s best for that current team. I thought it was really good for us.”

Q: Can Purdue build a program that is a playoff contender like Indiana has done?

“Yeah, I mean ultimately. I don’t want to speak – I know what they’ve done win/loss record – but I don’t know any details other than that. I know Cignetti has done a heck of a job. So, absolutely. You look at the opportunities that exist in college football today, in recruiting, expanded playoffs, and now retention and revenue share… Purdue has got everything that is needed to have a really, really successful football program.”

....I get the feeling this game will be a bit "chippy" on a cold Friday night.

It's not easy (or perhaps possible) to replicate, but if you're in the position that Purdue has been in for 3 years and haven't taken a single note on what IUFB has done, you should get fired on the spot. What an idiotic line.

....that's his sarcastic way to say he doesn't care for/respect, IU/Cignetti.  

...bluffing. lol

[cthomas]

We don't like them, they don't like us. Nothing more needs be said. It's not possible to beat them by enough points.

Cig's going to make The Ryan Walters Treatment look like a pillow fight.

You better believe Coach Cignetti's plan is to score till the clock shows 00:00.

Just realized that Cig is a combination of Saban and Aldous Snow….and now I can’t unsee it.

Nah. Odom is ripe for being beaten like a drum. IU is light years ahead of him/them, but I want them to continue to suck so we can trash them every freaking year. I don’t see the Bucket ever going back to the pig sty that is W Lafayette.

Bold of him to think it will take until the mid point of the 3rd quarter for the game to be completely out of reach. Lol
