My son is an IU grad but he's probably been to more ND football games than IU football games. Nonetheless, he was a hearty IU supporter along with my grandson who has been wearing the IU socks I got him for every game. The good news for us is that his mom (she's Canadian so doesn't understand) washed the socks which as we all know is the kiss of death for any team on a run.
Lots of family trash talk working up to the game and one-sided excuses/explanations after the game.
IU was happy to be in the picture as any team would but I suspect, and I think Cignetti is a good fit for IU, that this year may be a one-off for a while since they managed to duck the traditional BIG power teams and/or caught a few on a down year. I'd bet they don't win 8 games for 3 years.
