"Purdue sucks. And so does Michigan and Ohio State." -Curt Cignetti at Assembly Hall

Never heard of him.

Never heard of her. 

He’s coached at JMU for a while. He’s probably actually a home run hire for IU, and old enough (60ish) to maybe stick it out there till he retires. 
 

Somewhat competitive IU is always annoying. But just win.

A very good friend of mine is a JMU grad and has been to every football game for 30 years.  His view of Cignetti is that he's a good recruiter but not a  very good coach.  He succeeds because he recruits staff as well as he does players.  And Cignetti is taking all the key staff members with him, which is what pisses off the JMU alums (none of whom blame Cignetti himself for taking a new job at 10x the pay of the old). 

Cignetti is 62 years old, so isn't going to be at Indiana longer than his current contract.  He can afford to piss off a few traditional rivals

Does Indiana even have any of those ‘true believers’ left?

Amusingly, the official Indiana Football twitter page apparently doesn't want to shoot that shot. The official video edited the 'best' part out... lol

Indiana Football: Where quality FCS coaches go to die. 

Are we rivals with Indiana now also? 

11wieners will really bitch about Cign-gate when that happens.

I'll show myself out. 

Make more sense once I listened to it. Sort of sounded like he was saying 'we're gonna beat purdue... and also be at the top of the conference!'. Won't happen, but doesn't hurt to dream big

CARTER CAUGHT THE PASS!!!

CARTER CAUGHT THE PASS!!

Was there a winning streak before either of those? Only curious because you give different number of games for each.

As much as it pains me, Tressel at least had a degree of subtlety and bravado during his obligatory “new football coach makes contrived statement during early home basketball game” speech.

This, however, is the equivalent of the douchey neighborhood kid calling you names and then speeding off on his Huffy.

Color me unimpressed…

Meh, they kind of need this current low-profile style coach to lay low for a minute to wash their hands of the Tucker situation.

Speaking of washing hands, hope Tucker took on a more literal approach to this metaphor.

I thought the Sparty hire was actually a good one.  Not sure they will appreciate someone who works hard, keeps to himself and doesn’t sexually harass women, but we will see.

He will sound like Foghorn Leghorn just like Tom Allen did this season.
