"Curt Cignetti Needed An Opportunity & Has Permanently Transformed IU Football Forever" | Pat McAfee

[@KVGKQuake]

Being from Indiana, if Cignetti wants to stay, he will 100% be given the Bobby Knight treatment: coach til you die or do something so awful that they have to get rid of you

[@2Muffins_in-an_Oven]

I said last week that Indiana would annihilate Nebraska to all their chirpy fans based on Nebraska only playing one road game and that was at Purdue where they couldn't even score a point in the first half. But all they talked about was how great their defense was and that IU hasn't seen anything like it all year. Well now we're hearing the same excuse once again "that we still haven't played anyone" and that we have a back up quarterback starting. This back up quarterback orchestrated 28 points against this stellar Nebraska defense and our own defense shut them out in the second half. So for all you nay-sayers and Huskie fans get ready for another wake up call. We look forward to seeing a Washington team this week against one of best offenses in the country where their defense gave up 40 pts to an Iowa team that had only scored the same amount of points against Illinois State and 38 to Troy. You've played two road games where you lost both to Iowa and Rutgers... a Rutgers team that lost to both Nebraska and UCLA. Two teams that IU beat 56-7 and 42-13. This is going to be another ANNIHILATION... If you haven't already, go ahead and bet the -6.5 on IU, at least you'll have money to pay your bar tab after you're done crying in your beers.

Michigan State and Indiana are supposed to be rivals for each other. When the BIG10 went to divisions, IU and MSU picked each other to maintain their rivalry. Also, when the Beaumont Tower was built, the Roman numerals on the tower looked too much like the I in IU. The president of MSU had them swapped out for a different looking I.

Why is it that when programs like Notre Dame or Alabama have a few down years the question is "how long before they are good again?" but when IU has a good team the question is "how long before they are bad again?" What happened the last 100 years doesn't affect what happens going forward, except maybe recruiting. But I think Cig is going to get kids wanting to play for him.
