Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to ponder Penn State football's future in the Big Ten landscape amid Indiana's meteoric rise with the two teams facing off this weekend. This show is presented by FanDuel. Are the second-ranked Hoosiers a short-term flash in the pan under coach Curt Cignetti? Or are they here to stay beyond 2025? Do they have the resources to challenge the Nittany Lions on the field in the years to come? Or will they revert into something closer to their historical also-ran status in the Big Ten? And what's the importance of Terry Smith, Ethan Grunkemeyer, Kaytron Allen and Dani Dennis-Sutton managing an upset this weekend at the program level? Our duo tackles those questions; the possibility that Curt Cignetti could still be an option in the Penn State coaching search to replace James Franklin; and the viability of other candidates including Texas A&M's Mike Elko, Vanderbilt's Clark Lea and Georgia Tech's Brent Key.

What a day to be a Hoosier. Before we even got to talk basketball, Curt Cignetti made it official—signing an eight-year, $11.6 million per year extension that makes him the third-highest paid coach in college football. Brian and Ryan open with their reactions to the news that keeps Indiana's football renaissance alive, joined by Galen Clavio calling in from the road to break down what this means for the entire athletic department.Then it's time for basketball. With the first exhibition game against Marian just hours away, we dive into what Coach DeVries has been revealing at media days and in practice availability sessions.Here's what we're watching for as the DeVries era tips off:• How the three-point shooting philosophy translates to actual game action—spoiler: it's going to look dramatically different than what we've seen• The intriguing possibility of Bailey and Alexis playing together, and what a two-big lineup might mean for this offense• Rotation questions with key injuries to Drake, Dorn, and others limiting the backcourt depth early• What "limited sets" actually means for these exhibitions, and why DeVries isn't showing his full hand yet• The defensive identity taking shape—who's bringing that dog mentality on ball pressure?• Chemistry reads between players who've never played together, and where the gaps might show up• Why this completely rebuilt roster (zero returning points) makes these exhibitions even more criticalPlus, as always, KenPom's first rankings (IU at #40), what Hoops on Kirkwood revealed about the program's new energy, Trent Sisley's balcony shot, why this feels different than any recent season, and our specific player focuses for tomorrow night's debut.On the mics: Brian Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, and Galen ClavioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andy and Randy break down the weekend's college football slate, and other news. Curt Cignetti just got a pretty big raise, and he did it just like James Franklin.

October 17, 2025 Hour 1.  Bengals win, Steelers can't win Thursday road games.  Dodgers win again, Toronto evens series.  Cignetti gets paid! The Starting Five.

Scott and Galen do a mid-season recap from The Curt Cignetti Room in the POSH Hotel on Kirkwood Avenue. We discuss the current state of IU Football, look back at the expectations from the start of the season and how they have played out, and look ahead to the rest of the year. (Note that this was recorded just before the Cignetti contract news came out!)

Grizz vs. Heat, "Icy Hot Bowl", Browns, Cignetti is rich at Indy +more Griz

0:00 - Rumos were swirling that Penn State might try to snatch up Curt Cignetti. So Indiana took preventative measures to make sure that won't happen. It got us thinking...what's a better landing spot for a coach. A big prestigious school with a rich football history and high expectations? Or a "smaller" less presitigious place where you get paid? 14:49 - The Avs depth was on display last night. The 2nd line handled the scoring last night in the win over Columbus.After that, it's everyone's favorite new sultry salacious sensual segment! Let's preview Broncos vs Giants with a little...Mas o Menos.31:50 - We make fun of the stats nerds, and rightfully so, but sometimes the stats do help us. The fellas dug up some stats that tell the story of the Broncos season so far.

It has been a big week in the Big 10 football. James Franklin is gone from Penn State. Cignetti is staying at Indiana, Michigan stinks, and their regular season is about as exciting as a poopie flavored lollipop. Meanwhile the SEC is getting into the meat of the schedule and ranked on ranked teams are all over this Saturdays slate.

In his weekly Penn State YouTube segment, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to react to the Nittany Lions' firing of coach James Franklin this week. Was the move by AD Pat Kraft too impulsive in hindsight? Did he deserve at least another year considering Penn State was in the Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff less than a year ago? What does Paul make of legacy candidates for the job including Nebraska's Matt Rhule and Cincinnati Bengals DC Al Golden, both of whom played for Joe Paterno in Happy Valley? And what should we make of Curt Cignetti's new deal at Indiana and his potential to take the Penn State job? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This one mayhttps://x.com/JoelKlattShow/status/1978536105214456125Latest on the Penn State vacancySomething to consider is the fact that Curt Cignetti and some of these target coaches will be in the CFB playoff...so they would miss portal, recruiting, etc... I think it has to be a non-CFP coach, i.e. Matt Rhule (former PSU LB), Matt Campbell, Eli Drinkwitz, Manny Diaz, etc. In fact, as some have pointed out...Cignetti is not only likely NOT to go to Penn State, but instead is (among others) a likely landing place for their recruits who are decommitting.Now want to know a stat that is interesting for the leading candidate (according to most)? Matt Rhule is 2-23 against AP Top 25 teams and 0-11 against Top 10 teams...Sound familiar? That includes his stops at Temple, Baylor, and NebraskaSome of the top college football games this weekhttps://x.com/CFB_Overtime/status/1978574233513943175Image Credit:© Tommy Gilligan-Imagn ImagesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
