Always keep your helmet on...

I'd love to know what was said between them. No one has ever said a bad word about that Fletcher kid, and twitter had a bunch of stuff about him congratulating Mendoza, etc.

Cignetti always credits IU President Pam Whitten and AD Scott Dolson for laying the limestone for success.

I wonder if Cignetti can even move this morning. That kid took a pounding last nigth. Gritty performance.

Mendoza?

Hard to root for one over the other. I like both teams. Should be a good game. I am leaning for Miami only because I like to root for the underdog. I guess I am over the ACC/ Miami hate.

Never get over the hate. They and BC number one villains. Plus Miami just plays dirty all the time.

I live in Orlando and work with a LOT of Florida fans. They may hate Miami more than UConn fans and claim only out of state UM alumni root for them. But only if they’re winning

 

[uconndogs]

Mendoza?

lol! Yes, meant Mendoza. If Cignetti can't move this morning it's because he had more than one beer after the game 😉

 

[B1GEast]

That's who they are and why they're bull shiat

 

[ecasadoSBU]

That was a fun game to watch.

Congrats to INDIANA! Impressive

No kidding...there was nothing but praise for him most of the year and technically still an HS senior...some talented player. Very curious to hear what was going on there.

I think you have him confused with the Toney kid. Fletcher is the kid who's dad passed away last year. Some people say the Indiana kid said something about it, but it's all speculation. There had to be something said to provoke that sort of response, but its between them and we will probably never know.

The 'only if they're winning' part is very true. Their attendance in a season where they'll end up ~ 8-5 is BC like.

You're right, thought it was Fletcher...

……but I have no idea what constitutes pass interference anymore. The refs were consistent all game, but my god!

Yeah, both teams got away with mugging the receivers all game long, but especially Miami. There were plays that definitely would've been called holding if an OL did it (2 hands grabbing the jersey by the shoulder pads), but somehow DBs are allowed to do it?

And I can't get over the deliberate crown of the helmet uppercut/headbutt/whatever to Mendoza's chin that went unflagged, was absolutely targeting. The commentators were blathering on about him not being defenseless, but it should be automatic when you use your helmet like that.

Cignetti, best coaching job I've ever seen in sports.

Very Jim Calhoun-esque

Except in 2 years. Granted the portal and NIL have changed timelines but everyone is playing under the current rules. The job Cignetti has done is insane.
