What are some good introductions to philosophy?

I've been searching the questions posed here, and don't seem to find one that gives the answers I am looking for. I've proposed to start a list on meta but no one proposed anything, so I feel I mus...

I doubt he goes anywhere else. He's said as much that he wants this to be his last stop, and his wife LOVES Bloomington, and he does as well.

He's a superstar, and he and Lance Leipold are built the same way inasmuch as Leipold could have gone anywhere he wanted to but chose to stick around in Kansas. Both guys are top 5 coaches in the country. Indiana is going to reward him significantly and Cig is going to get even more NIL money. It is a no brainer for IU.

On the topic of NIL, while we are not Ohio State in NIL, we have far more NIL cash now than what people think, and a lot more in the hopper. There's a couple of reasons Julian Lewis is involved with Indiana: (1) his relationship with the offensive staff, in particular Sunseri; and (2) We can meet his NIL requirements.

As for Cig, he's the master at changing the culture and maintaining his new culture. He's a phenomenal attention to detail guy. The guys who go to practice have repeatedly said that they have never seen a staff practice so fast and hard with such attention to detail at Indiana before. Just look at the development of the players he brought from JMU, or even the IU guys- Mike Katic has gone from a guy who wasn't going to get drafted or even really looked at by NFL scouts to now being a guy that is likely going to get drafted. Look at the unselfish running back room. Everybody blocks, everybody runs routes and nobody complains about carries. Same with the receivers, in particular Sarrat, Cooper and Williams are fantastic perimeter blockers. Unselfish.

What Cig has done is extraordinary, in particular given the woeful talent levels we had the last two-three years. I was told Cig and his staff were shocked and appalled at the lack of speed, athleticism and weight room commitment from the previous roster. When guys like Blidi and Minor leave after spring for more cash, what does Cig do? He goes out and gets West and Ponds--upgrades over the other guys.

I think Loyer is in for a tough year. Gonna be difficult for him to find open shots this year.

says if the met on a neutral field Bama would be favored by 2 touchdowns, I think that may be a little extreme but would concede Bama would be a prohibitive favorite, following his logic should Las Vegas do the polls instead of the ap and coaches? F the SEC, we beat UCLA on the road by more than LSU did at home

Fletcher Loyer was 6-17 and Braden Smith 6-18 in their final intra-squad scrimmage, according to Nathan Baird. ... can't shoot either!

Cignetti, and IU, have passed every test, and answered every question mark so far this year.

One that they haven't faced, is a team filled with 4 and 5 star kids like what Alabama would have.

We'll get that here in a few weeks with the Michigan and OSU games.

I have no doubts that a full strength Rourke led IU team, would be competitive with anyone in the country. I think the Jackson led Hoosier likely would as well, but there is some more unknown there...

But its not an outlandish take to question whether we're big and athletic enough to beat a team like Bama.

I can’t imagine CCC would want to pull up stakes 2 years in a row and have to house hunt, move, recruit staff, players, re-recruit players already on roster, deal with the AD, president, BOT, and who knows what else, and not see the light of day for a couple of months. Which is what he had to go through here.

He’s 63, for crying out loud, and that shit gets old, fast.

I firmly believe he’s here for another year. Besides, he has to validate (homage to skins game … golf), right?

I think the real question is, what’s more important to him, money and sustaining an already strong program, or establishing a tradition here at IU?
