Curt Cignetti Tempers Indiana Fans' Expectations: 'Don’t B*tch About a 38-0 Win'

Curt Cignetti said Indiana fans should not complain about a 38-0 win as the Hoosiers prepare for tougher Big Ten play.

  • Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti criticized fans Thursday during his radio show for complaining about the team's 38-0 win over Western Kentucky, telling supporters not to "b---h" about the margin of victory.
  • Since Cignetti arrived, the Hoosiers have compiled a 30-2 record and 19 straight wins, a dramatic turnaround from the 3-9 season under former coach Tom Allen in 2023.
  • Memorial Stadium holds 53,524 fans, yet average attendance has reached 54,521 this season. Cignetti noted crowds drop precipitously after halftime, urging supporters to remain seated from first play to last.
  • On Friday, the Hoosiers host Northwestern in their first home Big Ten game, with Cignetti emphasizing the need for fans to be loud and present from the opening kickoff through the final play.
  • Beginning October 17, Indiana faces a five-week gauntlet featuring Ohio State, Michigan, and USC—matchups that will truly test the program's championship credentials and silence any remaining doubters.
