Cignetti's in-game coaching decisions

BradStevens — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 14:40:04 +0000

On the Cover3 Podcast reaction show last night, one of the commentators (Tom, an Illinois guy) noticed that Cignetti is a way more conservative coach when we are behind than when we are ahead.

(IU discussion starts at 46:45. Tom's comments are at 55:00 and then they discuss Cignetti).

I think that shows Cignetti understands momentum (which is a weird, woo-woo, probably unquantifiable term in football, but pretty clearly exists in my mind). I used to think he was more conservative against teams with much better raw talent, but I think this explanation (ahead vs. behind and maybe momentum) is better.

By the way, one of the best things about the Cignetti era is that anytime we play a game against a team with a pulse, the media will cover us in detail. I love this site, but it's still pretty neat to see the national guys talking about us so much.

Urban Meyer is so full of shit

Butch Crawling — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:47:39 +0000

Urban Meyer, during the pregame, was talking about IU's "soft" schedule. He claimed that IU's starters haven't been needed in the 4th quarter this season (I guess he was in a coma for the Northwestern game) and that that would adversely impact IU in a close game. He noted (correctly) that IU would need to play four quarters today, and then was the only one of the four who predicted Nebraska would get the W.

IU played its BEST ball today in the 4th quarter!

Great win! Go Hoosiers!!!!

What’s up with Monshun Sales?

I saw Sales missed a game early in the season with back spasms. I haven’t seen him mentioned since then.

AT Cancer Diagnosis?

I was told that AT has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma. I only see a Facebook post come up in search results. Has anyone heard anything?
