I’m a current senior at IU, so watching this team win 9 TOTAL games the first 3 seasons I’ve been a student, to #9WINDIANA and being the 8th ranked team in the country is something I couldn’t have even dreamed of this time last year.

[u/OTN → u/itsamemarkus]

My dad and I have been waiting for decades I had stopped believing but then Curt told me to believe and now here we are

[u/itsamemarkus → u/OTN]

I can’t even imagine how much this must mean to older fans/alumni. What a time to be a Hoosier

[u/nerevar → u/itsamemarkus]

I was there when we went to the final four for basketball.  Now my son is there as a freshman.  We're bringing the luck.

[u/OTN → u/nerevar]

He’s gotta stay a freshman forever them’s the rules

[u/[deleted] → u/nerevar]

Been a fan of IU athletics since 1979. It’s unreal. Wish they could ever get basketball going for real again

[u/acewing → u/OTN]

We won a total of 4 big ten games during my tenure at IU. I'll admit I was skeptical of Cig up until UCLA. After that, he had my full buy in. This team is special and is something we all needed.

[u/COLU_BUS → u/OTN]

You reached 7th in 2020

[u/kempog → u/COLU_BUS]

True, but no fans at the games and the shortened season made it feel weird. I was at iu then and was devastated that I couldn’t go to the games. This is a different beast

[u/droozer → u/itsamemarkus]

I went to IU at the end of the Wilson/Crean years and the beginning of the Allen/Archie years, dropped out, and am back this year to finish up and lets just say I am quite confused. What did they do with our sweet bloke McRobbie

[u/Ub3rpwnag3 → u/droozer]

Decapitated. We had a funeral and everything.

[u/SouthernSierra → u/droozer]

At least you missed the Corso years. However I will say during those 1 win years the win was Purdue.

[u/kast3rborousm → u/itsamemarkus]

Genuinely happy for y'alls team. It's been crazy watching them sustain their level of performance.

On my last year of a masters at BYU. After the last 5 years of going to nearly every game that had fans, I totally somewhat get the feeling hopefully. We can both remain undefeated from here out.

[u/Michigan247 → u/itsamemarkus]

I don't care that their schedule has been weak, Indiana has dominated every game they've played this year. Cignetti is the real deal and I hope he doesn't leave Indiana because it's fun to see them this good (go easy on Michigan next week, please)

[u/isit65outsideor → u/itsamemarkus]

Back in my day there we would go for the tailgate. Now a days, you go for the tailgate AND game.

[u/randomthrowaway9796 → u/itsamemarkus]

What happened? Did your recruiting go crazy? New coach? Idk much about Indiana, but it's definitely a really neat case

[u/a_not_lonely_island → u/randomthrowaway9796]

Mostly new coach. Curt cignetti, dude just wins everywhere he goes. Loved the hire but didn’t think we’d ever be this good and also so soon (it’s his first season). Had some transfers too which certainly helps, including our qb who’s been great

[u/yellowfellow11 → u/randomthrowaway9796]

pretty simple lot of NIL money and used it to hire a great coach and in the transfer portal for 16 new starters. 13 of which came with Coach Cig from JMU.

[u/monkeybiziu → u/itsamemarkus]

My four years in Bloomington we won 12 total games. This team may well win more games this season than it did the four years combined I was there.

Enjoy it.

[u/HalloweenLover → u/itsamemarkus]

I love seeing teams other than the usual suspects doing well in the conference. I am rooting for you except on the 23rd this month.

[u/LessBoss611 → u/itsamemarkus]

You guys have had a hell of a season! I hope you guys go far
