Obviously, the Indiana Hoosiers just won the CFP national championship, so this comment was, at best, poorly timed. On3's Andy Staples doesn't believe that Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti would even appreciate it, despite similar comments on the Ohio State Buckeyes and TTUN back when he was first hired in December 2023. "Seemed nuts when Cignetti trash-talked Michigan and Ohio State in December 2023," Staples said.

It's taken decades for Ohio State to be the big, bad team you use as a target to dunk on to make yourself look better.
