“He was a receivers coach for us and has a great offensive mind and is a really good quarterback coach,” Saban said. “There’s a lot of people who call plays who are offensive coordinators but they’re not really good quarterback coaches. And I think Curt Cignetti is, and I think that’s why his quarterback is playing so well.”

KR thumb looked like an eggplant. It’s gotta be broken. Let’s go Tayven!!!

I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed, but just wondering if this game is going to be televised?

I guess alumni big d$&es just dropped bags this weekend. Anyone hearing this? Great sign for keeping this train rolling.

Who won and what was the shootout score?

This has been the longest off season in some time. I've been quiet here but been following closely. Very excited for the new season, the new era to begin, and for the Old Man to get us on track and winning big. I love all the bravado, the confidence, the entertaining trash talk from Cig.

But the time for talk is over. Its time to win.

Will it be big and will it be this year?

1. I can’t believe how many podcast shows are related to Nebraska. And they are all in shock for the same reason - they still thought we were “just Indiana.” No real respect. They bought the rat poison about the Nebraska defense being the end of the New Indiana. The stats about our offense and our defense did not get through to the brains that still think the past plays on Saturday. “Indiana has the worst historical record.” OK. How you like us now? Cig has taken a bunch of guys that NO talking head knew about last year and made them the biggest threat to the old status quo since NIL and The Portal were imagined. He had faith in and respect for the “little guys” - the Unknowns - and turned them into The Whosiers - kids now taking the norm by storm! The Cardiac Kids.2. Another Indiana team that ain’t supposed to be here.

2. Test 1 was win at UCLA - the “historical” power. Passed. Test 2 was Maryland - the up-and-coming coach who could recruit. Passed. Test 3 - keep NW from getting off the mat at NWHS stadium. Passed. Test 4 - survive the vaunted Nebraska defense. Passed 56 times. Who are these guys? These New Whosiers? Test 5 - beat Washington, who went big with our guys, and beat a No. 10 Michigan … but we gotta win with a back up QB. Challenge accepted. See ya at the yard.

3. Prepare thyself - the Rat Poison this week will double.

Spent some time over on Nebraska’s board. That fan base is pretty funny.

You can basically put them in two categories when it comes to how they feel about their Huskers:

1. They will be lucky to win another game

2. They can beat Ohio State, win out and make the playoffs

I think that fan base suffers from PTSD.

Sweet.

And had IU ranked ahead of Bama , 7 games in, on their Bingo card?

So my wife and I went to Bedford and voted early. Democrats and Republicans both in the room. Had to show valid drivers license to vote. It was checked against your registration. Why do democrats fight against Voter ID?

With early voting I don’t get the need for millions of mail in voters.

Thinking it's Cherry but I have never seen a depth chart for this team.

Not great news but Nebraska was not likely to overcome a 21-point deficit so I'm holding out hope that this is somewhat precautionary. We will see how the offense looks with TJ at the helm. This gets him some experience in case he has to take over for a week or two. Hopefully it's just a contusion that will get better in a few days but you could tell it was really hurting him by the way he was holding his hand coming off the field.

Coach Cig has two new challenges this week and both are really big. The obvious one is not having Rourke available. I kept hearing Joel Klatt say that Rourke’s strength was his ability to process quickly based on what the defense was doing. Jackson is athletic and has a strong arm (touch?), but can he process quickly/correctly? Second, Coach Cigs says frequently the team needs to guard against complacency; after a dominant win in front of a national audience last week, will the team build on this or will some complacency set in? I think UW will be a tougher opponent than Nebraska.

What an incredible and improbable season. As a 60 year IU fan at times it just doesn’t seem real. Thank you Coach Cig!

Moving on up!

Would have liked a couple spots higher, but keep bringing the bulletin board fodder.

Talking heads, voters, continue to underestimate this team. It’ll be fun!

Anybody see yourself, about 35 secs in? Notice how he even has a red phone. And based on the time of day I imagine he was following the score of the Nebraska game.

Damn, we be everwyhere...
