You can relate Indiana's success more about the quarterback in my opinion. Just like Burrow in 2019.

Same here. While it's fun to get excited,(and we should be with Lane's innovative offense) it's still 18-22 yr olds and the SEC is a gauntlet.

The pleasantries are officially out the window, the pressure is squarely on the sidelines, and this program needs to deliver dominant results on the field. God help them if they come out and lay an egg against Clemson week 1. The Rant may not survive it.
That's because we're taking the media's bait and putting results over the process
we assembled a great staff and a great collection of talent but we have to work our tails off every day and keep getting better and have it all come together
The great championship teams and specifically coaches in this sport never got ahead of themselves with future results, they were process-driven and took everything one day at a time.
You don't hear Saban, Cignetti, Day, Marcus Freeman, Kirby talk about championships while it's still summer and fall camp hasn't happened yet. I don't think I've heard Lane talk about it since he's been the LSU coach.
I think Lane and Co do that, that's why he changed his entire life and outlook on life and these coaches eat, sleep, and breathe football

Make the playoffs and it’s a good season

I think you are slightly off. While most are ECXITED for the new season and to see what we are capable of, I think most are still being pretty cautious with expectations. I expect a 9-10 win season but I’m really excited to what we can do.
Anticipation =\= expectations

once again, let me remind you, Indiana has 2 billionaires spending big money to make it happen.
Yeah, but no. The traditional building year over year is out. Cignetti has his formula of older guys, which obviously works. Kiffin has his own proven formula too.
He seems way ahead of value of positions/teams. Happy with 3* in certain places with right skills. Credit his upbringing (and failure) in the pros for him to be a bit ahead of the curve with this way of thinking. Probably helps with the money folks showing he is savvy in that respect as well. He has an advantage which means we have an advantage.
This season has a very optimistic outlook with lots of excitement to be held. I don't think I could be disappointed this season at all.
