For what it's worth, I appreciate the heck outta what Coach Cignetti has done at Indiana. I always liked him when he was Saban's wide receiver coach back during Saban's first 3 Natties at Bama.


I think DeBoer is going to be a very good coach at UA but if not, Cignetti may get the call.

Didn't IU lose their best defensive player in their championship game? What will come of that.

Is there any psychological advantage for Bama because that program has been in this climate often and Indiana has never come close to being there.

Alabama is the winningest program in college football history and Indiana is at the opposite end of that spectrum. Indiana may be having a great year, but 98 out of 100 times Bama is going to win this game. I am going with Bama.

Daley was a key contributor but not there best defensive by any means.

Indiana's best defensive players are:

LB Aiden Fisher All Big 10 and 2nd Team All American

DL Tyrique Tucker All Big 10 and 3rd Team All American

CBs Louis Moore and D'Angelo Ponds - Both All Big 10 and 2nd team All Americans

Alabama is so unpredictable, I wouldn't predict them to win or lose. Who knows which Alabama is going to show up.

I've always thought this was an ignorant thought process. With the exception of metropolitan areas, all states are pretty much "fly over". I saw just as many trashy houses and trailer parks just outside of Philadelphia as I've seen in Brompton Alabama.

IU vs 'Bama is going to be a measuring stick game. I've not watched a full game all year. I'll watch this one from the opening kick.

First ... how good are these conferences ? We'll find out. 'Bama shite the bed against FSU - but those teams went in opposite directions.

How good, really, are Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon ? We don't know. How good is Miami ? They beat the team that couldn't beat Texas that barely got out of Lexington with a win.

Georgia ? World Beaters one week. fricking around with Georgia Tech the next.

If any of you KNOW how this is all going to go ? Place your bets.

There’s a lot of similarities between this IU team and the ‘92 Miami team…

If I was 'Bama ? Dumb it down.

The haven't been able to run, all year, on any SEC team. I'd sling that stat into the trash can and go hat on a hat against IU between the tackles.

Because if they try this Inside Zone, Outside Zone shite ? That plays EXACTLY into what IU does with their line and LBs.

Against Oklahoma ... I saw too many plays where 'Bama pulls Guard and Tackle from the other side. No wonder the RBs can't cut. Stop that shite. Especially against Indiana.

Also ... if I were 'Bama ?

Proctor doesn't pass block by himself. He's too slow. But you run behind his big black arse all night. Again, especially against IU. They're too light up front. Their only move is all that motion-stunt shite. Run straight at them.

If only you lived in a state where you could go to the sports book and bet the mortgage.

But I'm not trying to pick at you, honestly. Cignetti and that staff are crazy good.

To me ? Can DeBoer dumb it down ? Do the obvious ? I don't know.
