Appears that “standard picture with plain white text over it” is gonna have to do for now. 

Hell, Cig probably wants it that. “Nah, give us the $hitty uniforms so I can throw another log on the no one respects us fire.”

Finally this forum is back for me.

I attended the game in person so last night was particularly special.  It was my first Hoosiers game in person and it was the first time I ever got to see them beat the Buckeyes. 

...I'm 36.  That says a lot.  I started crying.

Clickbait. Meyer also said:

“This is the greatest turnaround in the history of our sport. It’s not even close,” Meyer said on the field to the FOX television audience as the Hoosiers celebrated their victory behind him.

“This is the best coaching job I’ve seen, certainly, in my life – and I think in the history of the sport.”

The many faces of Curt Cignetti:

Pregame:

 

At kickoff:

After an INT or horrible refs call:

After a TD:

After  a throttling another B1G team:

 

 

After winning the Big Ten Title:

Cig with some well deserved praise for an extraordinary little big-man:

Once again the defense came up huge and put the clamps on a team.

Hands down favorite player on this team. Doesn’t immediately pass the eye/projectability test and then goes out and straight outcompetes everybody and makes play after play. Love that kid. Quintessential Cig guy,

Led them in tackles, sack, tfl, and of course,  the pass deflection in the end zone.

I thought the turning point last night was when we had the back to back tackles for loss. The first half, it seemed everyone was worried about going down more than one score and the game getting away from us. They had the ball to end the first half and had it to begin the second, and when we stopped them the first time and then put them in 3rd and 27 the next time, it just felt like something shifted.

What a run the last couple years have been. If someone told me when Cignetti was hired we'd go from the most losses in college football history to outright B1G champs and CFP #1 overall I would've thought they were crazy.

No one would have believed it. NO ONE. I just watched it happen and I'm not sure I believe. I bet if you asked to make that bet 2 yrs ago (about IU being undefeated B1G champs and #1 CFP seed) the oddsmakers woulda laughed about stealing your money. 

If anybody had placed that bet the only explanation would have been time travel.

So glad to have the site backup. What an incredible win. What an incredible season. Let's just go win the whole damn thing.

I went to the Rally House in Evansville on Wednesday, and they had a bunch of IU/Cig shirts along with B1G Championship game shirts right in front of the door.  I would expect them to have some soon or at least on their website in the coming days.  I might stop in and grab one.... or 2.

Great...now I have that stupid song in my head.  If they wouldn't run that commercial 50 times during a game I would be fine.

Over 24 hours later it's still so glorious and truly awesome seeing Cig and the team hoisting the championship trophy. Jealous of those who got to be there in person!

And Ohio State ******* sucks

[Trish]

I'm still in shock to what occurred this past Saturday. Curt was the correct hire from the start. What Scott and the President have done to increase funding / general support for the program is outstanding. 

We've made it this far into the season undefeated, might as well try go for the national championship..

Hands down the toughest opponent (including CFP opponents) IUFB will play the entire year. They're the real deal. 

The silver lining though, our D isn't too bad. If healthy, Ponds and company in the secondary will neutralize weapons they're used to using. The game will be won in the trenches by the front 7. Defense wins this game. 

The Dude abides.
