Sure.
We all have our own demons.
So I totally get it.
The thing that I would say is that in this new kind of expanded world of college football that we now live in,
I think coaching is going to matter way more.
And I think coaching is, is the, the be all end all of this.
I think everybody's going to point to, you know, Oh, Indiana was 39 years old and that's crazy.
And that's not wrong.
I think that matters, but,
I think if you were to go back and watch that Indiana-Miami game, I think you would probably watch the lines of scrimmage and be maybe a little bit more surprised at like, Reuben Bain and Mesidor kind of got after Mendoza maybe more than I thought.
Or, you know, Roman Hemby just could not block any one of those guys.
And that to me was where...
talent matters like i'll be bold i'll say it i think talent still matters like i think i think i think just i think talent's important i don't think it's just if you're 24 years old then you're great like i think i think that matters so i think when you have these players that are older they also got to be coached up though and that's the thing like
Indiana won the game with special teams.
And I know one thing was because something that they did, I mean, they didn't really do anything.
The Miami kicker just missed the field goal, but Grant Kane is Indiana special teams coordinator, Indiana blocked eight punts in two years in 24 and five.
And this is a coach that was at coastal Carolina Mercer, James Madison with Cignetti and now at Indiana.
And before that, the Colorado crush of the now defunct arena football league.
Oh,
This was a guy who Cignetti identified.
