Well, yeah. It's Indiana. They can afford to take gambles like that because, well, they don't have the weight of the world on their shoulders like a Texas, Bama, OU, Michigan, USC, UF, UGA, watching their every move. Had Cig and Indiana flipped, no one would bat an eye. They hit the lottery, and honestly, good for them. This is why we need party more in CFB, to get moments like these.
Florida is getting shit because they're a name brand. Just like we took shit for hiring Charlie Strong, or having our incompetent AD fly out to beg Harsin to take the OC job. We got dunked on, and rightfully so. It's embarrassing as fuck. We, UF, and all the big name schools are set to a different standard, whereas Indiana didn't have anyone outside of basketball who gave a af, other than IU grads and fans, so their standard was "let's throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks." It worked. Most of the time it doesn't work, but just like Bowling Green once had Urban Meyer, OU has Cignetti, who may choose to stay, and I hope he does. Seeing IU choke out fOSU, Oregon, Michigan, etc is why CFB is the absolute best sport.
