Remember the haters and the blue bloods want to see IU go back to being the old IU, and hoping they lose to say see we told you so.
Coaching, coaching, coaching, along with a system of discipline, never content and always looking to be better. Cignetti has a machine at IU. As an ‘88 IU grad I couldn’t be more thrilled with this coach and his staff and players. I live in central Ohio and it was so enthralling to see them beat OSU where I spent the money and went to the conference championship! What an electric night! David slew Goliath!!
Clearly the transfer portal helped, as well as the decision to invest in Cignetti. That part was the miracle!
Always proud to be a Hoosier! 🎉
Praying they win the natty. Congrats to Nando. Well deserved.
GO HOOSIERS!

Aiden Fisher is my favorite IU player of all time
As a lifelong Hoosier & IU man, all this is extremely difficult to comprehend. We've always thought 8-4 & a bowl game was about as good as it gets. You have no idea what this means to us here in Indiana…
Grew up on the other side of the state line, but always respected the history of the hoosiers in all other things beyond football, but happy to see they grew into their full potential and playing like they have something to win for!
Indiana turnaround? It's opposite of the Old Cleveland Browns to the current Browns. Totally different team and many of current players came with the HC from JMU.
It would be great if they could win it all, though.
The chip on the shoulder will always be there. College football fans look down their noses at IU but players like Fisher are proving IU is here and theyre REAL!
Love that Cignetti won for years at JMU, is winning at IU and that JMU keeps winning. They both won their conference championships and now they’re both in the NCAA playoffs.
As someone born & raised in Indiana, who grew up 40mins from Bloomington, this is mind-blowing!! I gotta be honest, I wasn't a Hoosiers football fan growing up bcuz they've not been good so we never had a team to root for…. Coach Cignetti has changed that! Go Hoosiers!! ❤️🤍
Pavia wants his 60 Minutes interview as well…
See more of the egotistical reporter here than any of the supposed story about IU football. Typical media
Season lost without OC Jr.'s catch ya'll…
Go Hoosiers
