I was happy to see Carolina lose again…come on #1 pick!!

That was a crazy Colts game. I'm happy for the Colts fans on the board!

Not sure I would ever bet against Saban in a big time game.

Watch...we are speculating who will get in....just imagine if Iowa beats UM...😜

I think it hurts FSU…to justify putting Bama in they will leap frog Texas over them.

You think if FSU and Alabama win it will be: UM, Washington, Texas and Alabama?

In that scenario I would put in: UM, Washington, Texas and FSU.

Hummel could and did. But he’s going to be a stud in broadcasting for a long time. 

Hummel is a good broadcaster.

Bama cannot be ahead of Texas. 

Definitely agree, but not sure I would trust the committee to leave Alabama out if they beat Georgia.

Just grabbed a 4 pack from Obscurity Brewing. The Island of Misfit Beers starring Yukon Cornelius to get in the holiday spirit. 

Never tried that beer, but that is an awesome can!

Road games are always tough in Big Ten...especially first one. I would feel better about this one if X were healthy and playing well. I have not watched UM play at all this year, so no real feel for this game. I just hope we play like the first 3/4 of the Maryland game and things will be fine. Let's go Hoosiers!!

Ware...another great performance and I'm not sure IU wins without him despite the score. His 3rd double-double of the season.

I think he will go to Carolina or Chicago…Moore will take over. JMO He has been trying to leave the last several years.

Chicago or Raiders would be my guess. Hopefully Chicago.

IU keeps getting better…

best half of the year (1st half)

Ware is a beast and got his 3rd double-double of the season.

mgbako starting to get comfortable and playing better

Onto the next!

Ware with his 3rd double-double of the year tonight 

Lots of folks were panicking because it took Mgbako a handful of games to get acclimated to college ball. Ware is a beast. Go Hoosiers! Let's win this one by 20+!!

Leal gave us good minutes

 

Leal has been solid. Like to see him get some more PT

Ware is the real deal.

Cignetti has a brass pair!! Loving his moxie!!

It was hilarious to me watching the press conference and seeing how he was answering the reporters questions...he definitely had a little Bob Knight vibe going on.

Honestly....the more I learn and see of Cignetti, the more I love this hire. It's not just what he is saying, but you can tell he truly believes it. Great, great, hire. As others have mentioned, if IU doesn't succeed with him as head coach, I think it is an IU problem, not coach problem.

We can keep it open for next time, though I hope that is 15 years down the line.

13 years...he said he plans to coach until he is 75. 😜

I was curious if he would bring his assistants with, but not surprised. "if it ain't broke..."

Indiana came back and made the second offer. The Godfather offer. That's when Cignetti essentially had to say yes, which led to the Pete Thamel report around noon.

I believe @IUFLAmade reference to the Godfather offer in the other thread. Maybe @IUFLAis Scott Dolson!

What are y'all's thoughts on him coaching the JMU bowl game?

No issue with it from me. It will give IU extra mentions during game. I'm sure he is going to be putting in his time with the portal/recruiting, so I'm not concerned. If IU were in a bowl game he would be doing both as well.

"I am excited to lead this program forward and change the culture, mindset, and expectation level of Hoosier football," Cignetti said. "I want to thank Director of Athletics Scott Dolson and President Pam Whitten, and I look forward to working with both in building something special at IU. Both share my vision and belief that big things are ahead for the IU program."
