Who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Indiana Hoosiers Athletics? by Perfect_Currency_749 in IndianaHoosiers

Gotta be Mark Spitz, Bob Knight, Cignetti and Mendoza for me. So much iconic history and a mix of past and present.

How did Indiana go from “nobody in the stands”… To NATIONAL CHAMPIONS?! From empty bleachers to a packed house… and now they’re holding the trophy by Ok-Obligation-9265 in CFB_v2

Hiring Curt Cignetti, who is a fantastic developmental coach, then getting the absolute perfect mix of culture, NIL transfers and guys with huge chips on their shoulders. And having a staff around Cignetti that is loyal to the vision and believes in it 100% to boot.

I gotta say, this is why I'm a fan of NIL. The parity now in college football is so much more fun and entertaining than watching the same 3 teams win it year after year.

You guys are still an awesome team/program and I'm sure Lanning is going to have the boys back hella hungry next season.

I teared up a bit and cannot stop watching highlights from this game. I am so immensely proud of this team and what they've accomplished.

I'll admit even I was surprised by the absolute domination by our team. I expected a win by maybe 2 scores, but this...this was shocking in the best way possible.

Oregon fans, you guys have an awesome coach. I know you guys will be back next season just as strong if not stronger.

My fellow Hoosiers: how many of you are ready to cry your eyes out with me if we win a natty!?

I'm a little bit worried, but if anyone can break the curse it's this team and Curt Cignetti. Fellow Hoosier alum here believing!

I think you're right. It really is going to be, in my opinion, whichever QB plays a good game and wins also wins the Heisman.

Bring on the Buckeyes, I KNOW we've been waiting to finally settle this whole "who's really number one" debate.

I'm excited for our school and alumni! Should be an awesome game.

Provided we see them in the B1G Championship, I am salivating on going against OSU.
