Week 7 Other Games Thread

Even if Indiana loses today their schedule the rest away sets them up well for another CFP trip. Win and they could roll. Why are all of our billionaire alums so cheap?
 





How can you watch Indiana and still be okay with the product PJ Fleck is rolling out every weekend?

How can you watch that interaction with his player and want him as a coach?

What a prick

Cignetti is an absolute ahole. I am sure there are fans willing to trade that for wins but holy crap the dude is a douche bag.

Yelling at a player who has to come off due to injury....that is just pathetic.

Iowa and Wisconsin can say the same thing. Indiana got lucky. The lucked out on a coach, schedule and that a billionaire bankrolls their roster. Hats off to them but they found lightening in a bottle. Reminds me a lot of Purdue with Joe Tiller and Drew Brees. Fleck with all his warts is still reliable for a bowl every year and no embarrassing story in the media.

Exactly....coaches yell at players....but yelling at an injured player coming off the field....Fleck would never do that. Plenty of evidence out there about Cignetti and his character.

But hey....he is winning football games and as long as he is doing that people are more then willing to overlook the other stuff. Bill Belichick is an example of that kind of behavior as well. When he was winning super bowls with Brady people were willing to overlook the attitude....went south pretty quick when the wins stopped coming.

It’s football, high level football at that. Coaches are always in your face challenging your toughness, your compete level.

I don't disagree, coaches are hotheads....doesn't change the fact that Cignetti is an ahole and getting caught yelling at a player coming off the field due to injury is not a good look for any coach.

Was the player injured? Seems he only missed 1 play

That isn’t proof he wasn’t injured. You have to come out for at least one play if you are injured. I am not saying Fleck doesn’t yell at people just that I don’t recall him ever yelling at a player for coming outnof a game due to injury.

Some of you are so defensive about Fleck, it wasn’t a criticism. They are all like this. You just heard something get picked up by a mic. Also the player wasn’t injured
 

Even though football has changed a ton over the years, and the membership of the Big Ten has changed dramatically...TV folks still insist on the old tropes about the conference.

That it's super physical and tough and a little bit stone age. And that the SEC is speed and finesse. Even though there's zero indication any of this is true.
