00:00And then I see Cignetti get the job in Bloomington and they have a wretched football program
00:09and it has always been wretched and it's been terrible.
00:12The only time they ever went to the Rose Bowl was 67 until they went last Saturday and kicked
00:16UCLA's ass.
00:17Now he's got a guy in Cignetti at Indiana who in two games is scoring like the New Orleans
00:23Saints and they have a quarterback and that guy's been there five minutes and he's doing
00:28a better job than Luke Thickel.
00:31Well first of all he has done a significant job of energizing the program.
00:36He used the transfer portal really well, brought in or brought with him I guess is a better
00:41way to phrase it.
00:42A lot of James Madison players who were very successful there brought them to the Big Ten.
00:47The schedule to this point has been advantageous.
00:51What we need to see over the course of the next month or so, they have a home game coming
00:56up against Maryland at the end of the month, at the end of this month, and then early next
01:00month they have Nebraska coming in.
01:02Those are the games that will define Indiana's football season.
01:07If they can split them, they're going to have a really nice year.
01:10If they can win them both, they're going to have a phenomenal year and might even be competitive
01:15for one of the last spots in the college football playoff.
01:19If they don't win either, then it's, hey, it's year one, we're just getting started
01:24with this, we're going to be good in time.
01:26But those are the three designations for those three games.
01:30As long as they don't stumble, Charlotte, there's no reason why they should stumble,
01:35and then they have a Northwestern trip as well packed into the next month.
01:39But those two games in particular are the ones that are going to define the Hoosiers.
