Curt Cignetti, Indiana Hoosiers, and College Football chaos take center stage on Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich! Dan reacts to one of the wildest, most chaotic weekends of college football in recent memory–and explains why Coach Curt Cignetti has officially ruined patience for every athletic director and booster in the country. Thanks to Cignetti turning around a dormant Indiana football program in year one, the multi-year rebuilding excuse is officially dead. If you don’t flip a program immediately, your seat is already scorching hot. Dan breaks down the madness from coast to coast: Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko bizarrely picking a fight with TexAgs after squandering an expensive roster; Oklahoma stunning No. 1 Texas on a last-second field goal in the Red River Rivalry; Bob Chesney’s undefeated No. 15 UCLA Bruins marching into Eugene to dissect Oregon; and watch Kentucky fans storming the field in an overtime shocker over LSU while Lane Kiffin gets escorted through the chaos. Dan Dakich sounds off on wealthy boosters panicking over millions spent in NIL, proving once again that money can’t buy you heart, grit, or chemistry when the ball is kicked off.
Plus, Dan sits down with Rob Friedman, the author of Unhittable: How Technology, Mavericks, and Innovators Engineered Baseball’s New Era of Pitching Dominance–better known to baseball fans worldwide as the PitchingNinja. Together, they break down the high-octane pitching dynamics taking over the postseason:Brewers’ Shocking 2-0 Lead and looking across the bracket, Drew Rasmussen held Cleveland in check early before unraveling down the stretch. Rob breaks down the mechanical and analytical shifts that occur during the second and third time through an opponent’s order.
