NT, other than saying we look so much better than last year.
I'm impressed
- Thread starter BcBranimal
- Start date
We could have a lot of wins going into the Michigan, OSU, Purdue finish to the schedule.
10 wins minimum looks very real right now…
9-0 going into the Michigan game, against a still iffy looking UM…
10-0 against O$U sounds pretty nice…

I’m impressed. I doubted us going in, but I was wrong. Congrats to the team and staff.
I have not felt like this for a very very long time. I think something special is in the pudding boy and girls! Cig is the Man!
Impressed is an understatement!
Other than the penalties, which some were questionable, this team is the most confident, poised, and focused IU team I can remember seeing. Mallory’s teams were good, but they had a ceiling and this team feels like it can keep getting better.
I watched their first game and the strides they’ve made in 3 weeks is phenomenal.
Like you guys have said...it's how we won. No fluke, accident or upset. This is a badass FB team right now! Google it!
Boom! Love our depth of weapons on offense. Hope some of the young backups on the lines are ready.
So awesome.
So awesome.
We just went into the Rose Bowl and got a win over a BIG opponent. Holy hopping frog! I haven't had a FB high like this since...since..well never!!!
Bring it...coaches will have them ready
Gotta love a football Saturday when we blowout UCLA on the road and the boys up in West Laffy get smoked 66-7…

Very good IU crowd there today.

I don't really look at it as doubt, just a lack of information. Optimism without supporting data doesn't really mean much. I don't think before this game tonight we had enough info to form a baseline.
For the record, I don't bet...but I'm thinking I should. Got my degree in 1998, saw a lot of Levron and Antwan. I'm a die-hard fan of both basketball and football (and soccer for you weirdos)
Funny you mention that…..made my first ever sports bet before the season opener. Took IU over 5.5 wins😂
I deposited a, to me, very sizable amount just two hours before the first game on a new for me site so I could get the largest possible first bet match for the tap-in IU over 5,5 wins wager. Two hours of @##%% with their shitty cell tower verification app and it never accepted it.
I'm such a dumbass. Planned to make that bet for two months. 'What a stupid I am'. Got a much smaller amount on a different site in a last minute try where I had a few bucks there. I never had registered for any sports bets sites, one happened to be from poker a few years ago. Live and learn. At least I got it figured out. But will probably withdraw most of my new deposit, it was for one specific bet, don't plan to piss it away.

I remember . . . Punt John Punt!!! Still it was a thrilling win.
It has been far too long since we felt that atmosphere and won. Damn this feels good. For us long timers, it is particularly sweet. A long haul since Corso.
Draft Kings has IU +40000 to win it all and +25000 for Roarke as Heisman if anyone wants to spend some $! Couldn’t find a bet though to see what it would be for IU to just make the CFP or win the B1G!?
There are a several First Since facts in

As for data … still less than 10 ppg allowed.
Pretty cool we got that big of a result with 127 yards of penalties. I’m sure those will get cut down as the team gets experience and the staff addresses the individual issues.
I have been a fan for far too long to make a comment like this but I like what I see so far. They have to prove it again every week.
Cignetti has this train barreling down the tracks. For us longtime football fans, it's hard to fathom. That said, the ingredients are in the kitchen for a special season.
We were pretty far from the action, but what was the deal with the two roughing calls?
1 was a sack and the other they hit him as he threw. Like, isn’t a sack supposed to be rough?
So did you ever expect IU football to have a better start than IU soccer-in any year? Todd and the boys struggling a bit.
The first one was back luck — had a hand up to block the pass and on the follow through his hand/forearm hit the QB on the head (which was harmless).
Second one was a form tackle for a sack, I have no idea what the issue was and no one else seems to either. Maybe driving the QB into the ground? But that of course is what a tackle is.
That’s what pisses me off about the t-shirt hillbilly humvee at Memorial stadium. What’s with the train whistle & steam?Excuse me but, IMO, there should NEVER be a reference to a train and IU!
Heard him in the interview say that Indiana is his 'last stop' (or something in that vein)...he's 63...so it could make sense...
just a random comment
On the second one the qb spun around right as he got there and their face masks touched. Again it was just incidental contact.
Thanks, I missed that.
We had quite a few penalties that were bad breaks and not really player error.
Yes Carr landing on the QB was the only possible foul … most impressed how the D responded … didn’t allow any points.
How happy was I after last night? My wife says “thank you Coach Cig!”😂
Just Coach talk. This will be his last stop until some program offers him more money than he can refuse. I would love for him to stay and finish out his career if we keep playing like we are right now. Would love to be able to build him a Statue in the future and claim him as the winningest Coach in IU history! Hopefully the Football Gods will shine on us and give us a break! VBG!
Go Hoosiers!!

Do you really think all of those penalties were legit? For example, sacking the
QB was roughing????
Absolutely not! Take off 30-45 yards for ref errors.
The one where our DT was tossed was just bad luck..horrible snap to qb’s right, qb bends down to pick it up from the ground. When he bends down, his head/helmet go down. Meanwhile, our guy whipped his OL so bad (love saying that), he was zeroed in on the ball and the DT’s helmet hit the now bent down qb’s. Sucked, especially because ucla was already at the line ready to go, but the way they call it these days, not much chance that one wasn’t going to be enforced.
Fisher’s pick? If they’re going to be so subjective and go overboard calling it, why not just make the rule to include the side of the ball carrier’s helmet? The WR clearly USED THE CROWN OF HIS to lower the boom on Fisher.
The almost sack (iu defender hits qb arm, ball and barely grazes mask with his hand) and the totally legit sack by Carr, need serious reviewing by the rules committee. Absolutely no malice, no intent, unavoidable and both plays played exactly how they should by the defender save
for some weak incidental contact.
Just a crapy rule that has gone WAY TOO overboard and gotten, again as Todd Blackledge mentioned, too subjective. For you younger folks reading, guess what position Blackledge played??? Quarterback!!! Even he thought both those were ridiculous!!!
