Nick ZararisHOST
We are trying to juggle a lot simultaneously and willing versus wanting.
Nick ZararisHOST
And I always come back to something Kurt Cignetti, the Indiana coach who won the national title this past year in college football said, you can live with the pain of regret or you can live with the pain from your work.
Nick ZararisHOST
You work your ass off and you're sore at the end of the day.
Nick ZararisHOST
You had a hard day's work.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
I think the schedule is much tougher.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
This was Indiana's schedule in 2024 with Kurt Cignetti.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
They had FIU, Western Illinois.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
They gave up a combined 10 points in the first two games and scored over 100 in the first two games.
20 MINS LATER
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
You'll be like, oh, that was a fun game.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
Maybe you won't exactly drive the insane crowd numbers that we really want, but But it's enough to the point where I think they're going to go on the uptick, positively for Purdue.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
I don't know when they'll get back to blowing out Ohio State on a big primetime game, selling out the stadium, when they can truly tell Kurt Cignetti to shut the bleep up.
Zach Anderson-YoxsimerHOST
But I think they're trending upwards.
Corey ClarkHOST
They are a juggernaut because of Kirby Smart.
Corey ClarkHOST
Indiana clearly is a juggernaut because of Kurt Cignetti.
Corey ClarkHOST
None of those other teams are juggernauts because of their head coach.
Corey ClarkHOST
Not one of them.
Jason SmithHOST
They didn't even win the Big Ten.
Jason SmithHOST
You watched Indiana and Kurt Cignetti show up and say, yeah, now we're the big bad guys on the block now.
Jason SmithHOST
And again, with that roster, they not only didn't win, they didn't even win the Big Ten.
Jason SmithHOST
And they lose in the playoffs.
Corey ClarkHOST
They are a juggernaut because of Kirby Smart.
Corey ClarkHOST
Indiana clearly is a juggernaut because of Kurt Cignetti.
Corey ClarkHOST
None of those other teams are juggernauts because of their head coach.
Corey ClarkHOST
Not one of them.
Bill LandisHOST
I hope not.
Bill LandisHOST
Yeah, I mean, from a coaching perspective and Kurt Cignetti's perspective, probably yes, right? He had options to play better games in the non-conference if he wanted to.
Bill LandisHOST
They could have bought themselves out of some of these cupcake games and tried to play somebody more substantial, I think, if they wanted to, and they chose not to do that.
Bill LandisHOST
I don't know.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
I think perhaps the Ohio State Buckeyes in Bloomington, Indiana on October 17th will be playing for the future of college football non-conference scheduling.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
Because if Indiana plays six high school teams and rolls Ohio State, People are going to be like, Ohio State's going to be canceling their Bama and Georgia series the next day.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
What's the point of any of this? Because the thing is, like, you mock Indiana, and then Kurt Cignetti shows you his undefeated national title ring.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
If it works again...
JayPANELIST
What was the reason he dipped? Because they didn't have the horses around with
Allen StilesHOST
him? Yeah, Cignetti, they calling him.
Allen StilesHOST
I'm building something.
Allen StilesHOST
I got you.
Brian SmithHOST
Dan Lanning is.
Brian SmithHOST
Cignetti does it a little different.
Brian SmithHOST
He's kind of the one outlier.
Brian SmithHOST
Sark's underrated at it.
Bennie FowlerHOST
Really appreciate your insights as a quarterback, former quarterback in the NFL and a winner.
Bennie FowlerHOST
And also you play with Cignetti, which is incredible, man.
Bennie FowlerHOST
So
Ben DiNucciGUEST
appreciate you.
Kevin LeeHOST
You know, and especially now in Indianapolis, you're not just dealing with the cold season starting the next week.
Kevin LeeHOST
You're dealing with Indiana football for I don't know how long, but as long as Kurt Cignetti is there, I think you're going to be dealing with competition with Indiana football.
Kurt CavinHOST
Maybe more competition, honestly.
Kevin LeeHOST
Yes.
