Let's see how IU's blue collar approach works after
- they summit the mountain. This is their revenge tour
- they actually have to reload their coaching staff. Does Chip Kelly lose to both Miami and IU? Does he even lose to one of them?


They don't make much humbler guys than Trey, Emeka, etc. Do they really come back for 2024 if they had already won a natty?

All very true. Hunger vs complacency is a problem.

It used to be called IUPUI (Indiana / Purdue).

That campus has 30k, added to the nearly 50k in Bloomington.

For comparison, Da U has 20, Oregon 22k, Ole Miss 28k.

Meaning they are 18k bigger than the other 3 semi finalists combined.

Yup

And all of the regional campuses add to it - you can get 4 year degrees at most of them.

True. I originally started my engineering degree at IU East and Purdue branches in Richmond Indiana.Had I graduated from either, I would’ve received my diploma from the main campus university. IU has satellite schools all over the state

It’s strange to say this, but I think we’re dealing with a much different era now with the NIL and the whole shebang. These 5 stars get smoke blown and have high demands, while these other guys are coming in with a blue collar mentality and giant chips on their shoulders. They just want to shine.

Might be time to decide to start watching more film rolls than the * next to a guy’s name.

That’s a broad generalization, but I do think there’s more to show and prove by the ugly ducklings these days, as is being shown tonight by this squad.

Oh, I agree. Star ratings exist to drive subscriptions. If you *really* want to know how good a prospect is, look at his offer list.

Why can't other teams buy it? It's not like Indiana is a whale in the NIL era. Texas spent nearly twice as much.

I really think this is the difference between what Cignetti brings in vs what Day does. Day seems content to play to win by A decent margin. Cig wants to destroy every opponent every quarter of every game. It’s a mentality that leads to true dominant excellence. Day showed some of that last year in his NC run. This year Day lost that edge A bit. I hope we see that evil Ryan Day like we see the evil Cig.

100%. You can tell Day doesn’t care as much about points and would rather win by ~7-10, but there’s no upper limit to Cignetti’s will to score. It’s a dominance mindset that some coaches don’t understand.

The first time I realized this was when he was getting pantsed by OSU and ND last year and waited to go hurry up in the last few minutes to get as many garbage points in as possible.

Back after about a three-week hiatus. Indiana is no doubt, by far, the best team in the country. If you would've told me just before the beginning of the 2024 season that Indiana would by 25-2 and being leading by 28 points at halftime in the CFP semi-finals less than a year and a half away, I would've reported you to the cops for serious drug abuse.
