Brighter Days Ahead

[Kelly_32]

As disappointed as I am right now, I can’t help but feel really good about the 2024 Indiana football team.

To think where we have come from in the last year is simply incredible.

We won 11 games.

We won 8 B1G games.

We won both our trophy games.

We had four straight sellouts.

We had College Gameday on campus.

We had multiple All-B1G and All-American selections.

Our coach was the unanimous coach of the year.

We reportedly have $13 million plus in NIL.

Cignetti maxed out the talent on this team. We were good but not elite.

We will become elite.

For myself, it’s been a huge distraction to some pretty serious stuff. I’m dealing with bladder cancer and have a PET scan on Christmas Eve to see if I have more going on. I’m raising a 16 year old disabled child that is exhausting. This season has brought so much joy to my life and given me something to look forward to every week. I’m so very thankful for Indiana football.

Great post. You are an awesome person and I am sure there are others as like you.

If Rourke hadn't waited until the last 4 minutes to wake up, IU would have won this.

Brighter days? I don’t think we should take this for granted. I’m not sure 11-2, and a trip to the CFP, happens again in my lifetime.

You know what else never happens in your lifetime? A Finsl Four. You are one of these basketball only guys who is always touting the potential of Bigfoot as he continually shits the bed.

Good perspective. And praying for good news on your upcoming scan.

We don’t even know what the roster will look like next season. You can’t predict how it will turn out until after the spring portal is closed.

GREAT season.

We'll be just as good next year. Likely a few more losses but could still be a very good year.

Then, two or three more years Cig will have us upgraded on talent at most every position. We'll be rolling.

The thing I’ve learned about this game is that IU lacks top speed! Speed in all facets! Rourke is too slow, IU def was too slow on closeouts/missed tackles, and giving up too much space on short passes, etc. Aside from the pathetic punter, the real IU showed up tonight! This program is not ready for the biggest stage! CCC talks a big game, but has never won more than a minor league bowl game! It will never change until IU can compete with the big schools for the top 4-5* talents! Cig cant keep scheduling cupcakes to keep the status quo either! Things like scheme and game prep need changed asap!

Get healthy and good luck. Glad that you witnessed the best Indiana football season in history!!

Kick C's a$$!

 

[OpenWheels]

Easy to say after a loss. Change the game prep that won 11 games? And the schemes that won 11 games? LOL

 

[Davehack]

Good post. May brighter days be ahead for you personally as well.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

CCC said in his press Conference what Ive been hearing for years! The team that is Bigger, stronger, faster, wins! BFS! IU is not BFS than most of these playoff teams! This goes into recruiting! I hope CCC can recruit the BFS recruits that are 4-5* athletes that wont fail big games!

Heartfelt post😥You're obviously a dedicated spirited IU fan, but more importantly, a compassionate caring person. Sending my prayers, positive vibes and best wishes for a cancer-free upcoming scan and a complete healing process.

I'm disappointed with the outcome tonight, but I watched to the very end. It was a great season and I'll see you on here next year. Go Hoosiers🏈👍

The thing I’ve learned

is nothing. Yes, IU is 2* 3* and it showed vs. 4* 5* tonight but for me, I'll take the team we have. They fought above their weight class and did as much as any team out there. Yes, we had some easy games and we won them all biggly. We never played worse than our ability which is more than can be said about Bama, Dames, etc.... That's what should be learned . That and that Cig does not create IU's schedule.

Yeah, not every high ranked player becomes a beast, but the odds are a lot better.

IU has had plenty of 4 stars that were whiffs.
