    Miami can wait to be crushed in the second round. Texas a&m needs to be humiliated again. 

    Both of these schools were able to beat Florida and both beat ND.

    And... that's it. Combined they've beaten ND and that's why theyre in the CFP... 

    I guess if you're offering shit tartar or a shit sammich the bread is the most palatable part so...shit sammich it is I guess. I will find joy because one has to lose. I hope it's a blow out, I guess.

    I don't think the problem is that we think we're too good for someone like Cignetti; the problem is that too many people think Sark needs to be shown the door because for the first time in 3 years, we may not make the playoffs...and can we please put the "seven win Steve" shit to bed.  It's just lazy, stupid and objectively wrong.  If you can't see dramatic improvement in the overall state of our program over the last 5 years, then I don't know what to tell you, and if you insist on raging because we're not having Nick Saban levels of domination, then you should probably prepare for a lifetime of disappointment.  I will be very interested to see what people say next year if Indiana takes a step backward...probably nothing.

    Let's talk about your use of the word objectively, fans demanding Saban level performance and future Indiana doom. 

    Let's talk objectively.

    Texas is evaluated at #1 in most NIL evaluations but certainly top 5. Sark is the #5 paid coach in the game.

    As of Oct 8th 2025, The rest of the top 5 coaching Salaries:

    1) Kirby Smart (Georgia)

    2) Ryan Day (OSU)

    3) Lincoln Riley (USC)

    4) Dabo Swinney (Clemson)

    For the record 

    6) Dan Lannning (Oregon)

    7) Kalen DeBoer (Bama)

    10) Lane Kiffin (formerly Ole Miss)

    Top 5 NIL evaluations per 247 sports :

    #2 OSU 

    #3 LSU (coach fires mid season)

    #4 Georgia 

    #5 Texas A&M

    #7 Alabama 

    #8 Florida (coach fires mid season)

    #10 OU

    Per CFBStats Texas is:

    #75 Total Offense

    #101 Rushing Offense

    #44 Passing Offense

    #37 Total Defense 

    #101 Passing Defense

    #10 Rushing Defense 

    Texas lost 3 games, one of them to Florida isn't in the CFP. Objectively, Texas is the worst money to performance of any team that didn't fire its head coach save arguably Clemson and USC for head coaching Salaries only.

    Cignetti, in his second year has accomplished the same feats Sark has in 5 and one he hasn't. Undefeated heading into the playoffs. Cignetti has also in his second year beat the best team in his conference to get to 1-1, ya know the same one Sark lost to, 2 times in a row, OSU. Whereas Sark has gone 0-3 vs Georgia. 

    You want to wave the Sark flag of victory for CFP appearances that took Sark 3 years to reach whereas Cignetti did it his first year AT INDIANA. Elko did it in his second year at A&M. Sark missed it in his 5 year with the top rated QB prospect, OF ALL TIME. You want to celebrate how much Sark has improved the program.... over Tom fucking Herman and Charlie Strong. That's a pretty low fucking bar. That's your objective measure of success. 

    You want to see what happens if Cignetti takes a step backward after back to back CFP appearances???? 

    You think "they" will "say nothing". Is this your first year watching college football? 

    It's fine to carry the Sark flag, but stop going full aggie with the CFP appearances on the wall. Don't use words like objectively if you aren't using any objectivity.

    So you get on your soapbox to call others out for pushing agendas just for you to turn around and do the same thing. We get it, everything is Sark’s fault, including a WR inexplicably tripping over his own feet on a play he has previously executed numerous times and in another instance dropping a routine catch. 

    If you don't like what he's saying put together an opposing, and equally in depth counter of film study with break down of plays. Go into equal detail and support your points that counter his. You're using vague general statements with no data points on drops vs catches. Negative vs positive. Figure out how many yards and how much momentum the drops cost us, do a CBA on the positives and the yards and momentum his catches brought us. You know a full CBA on positive vs negative and convince us why the good out weighs the bad. If the CBA doesn't show that the good out weighs the bad, help us understand why that is not a failure on behalf of the coaching staff to have such a player be the teams #1 WR. Help us understand how these issues were 100% unavoidable. Help us understand why all accountability of choices by coaches or errors in evaluation and talent gaps falls onto the player(s).

  4. Just wanted to drop in and say I appreciate the format and effort you're putting in @Thatguy I know what a grind it is to create posts like this are and the time you're investing for free and probably a lot of flack. It is noted. So thanks! 

    I suspect I won't agree with all of your takes, but based on our historical engagement I'll probably agree with most. To quote on of my favorite college football podcasters, Roll the Tape!

    Sark certainly did.  Whoops.

    Hope he learns from it.

    Well, the announcements of our new OC, OL coach, and DBs coach are encouraging. I'm sure the GM replacement will come out soon.

    Wait.... none of those have been announced? I'm sure we'll hear them all very soon, because we all agree change is in order. Right?

    The ass kissing that schools who claim to want to win the big one seem to need is mind boggling. Do they want to win or their asses kissed? Seems like the latter. All I know is I don’t care if my HC is Rainman. Just win, keep your personal shit away from the fucking program, do your job, and focus it on the players, the portal and making the team better every year. If Cig were 51 years old he’d have offers like no one’s business. But he’s awkward and older and not Lane Kiffin false bravado lying sack of shit on and off the field. To win you need a Cig. 

    My list is a lot shorter than yours.

    1) Don't be a criminal

    2) Don't protect criminals on your team

    3) Dont be a scum bag off the field 

    4) Win

    They're a well coached team.

    Well coached, disciplined, with a solid offensive and defensive game plan and players who absolutely leave it on the field.

    That's what a championship caliber team looks like and Cignetti is doing it with lower star players in his second year at IU. A cellar dweller. It's insanely impressive by all measurements.
