I think both Cignetti and Mario are contributing a similar thought to college football right now--the idea that teamwork, preparation, community, brotherhood--all matter more than just buying a team. Them whipping up on Oregon and Alabama and us making it through the meatgrinder playoff bracket as underdogs is good for college football. And IU's been the whipping boy of the Big 10 for decades--but now they've taken down Penn State, *OSU, Oregon, Michigan State, etc--they must be feeling really good to be a Hoosier right now.
But them boyz are walking right into a buzz saw, a band of brothers that see them as the only thing standing between them and everything they've wanted since they started strapping on those Optimist helmets in Little River and Allapattah. They don't know it yet, but they will.
