Curt Cignetti featured on The Pat McAfee Show
Curt Cignetti and his Indiana Hoosiers program are starting to catch a ton of media buzz and respect with their 6-0 start and marquee matchup Saturday ahead against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Cignetti took his media rounds today with the biggest being on "The Pat McAfee Show" today on ESPN and it was pure entertainment.
McAfee opened saying "We would like to say, since the moment we met you at JMU (James Madison University) to what's happening down there (at IU), just an hour and a half south of here, 'Congratulations, brother."
"No, no, no, no, no," Cignetti responded. "We're only halfway through the race, bro. No congratulations right now."
"“Ladies and gentlemen you can Google him, the only thing that’s going to pop up is a very Italian name and his record and guess what it does? It says that this motherf—– wins,” McAfee said, by way of introducing him. "

Cignetti also explained his "I Win, Google Me" famous quote to Pat McAfee in the interview as well.
“I got asked for the fifteenth time how am I possibly gonna get this done and I was tired and that’s when I put my head down and I finally just said look, Google me, okay? I win,” explained Cignetti with a chuckle.
Indiana and Cignetti are up to No. 16 in the latest AP poll and take on Nebraska on Saturday at Noon for their biggest game of the year. I hope we see College Gameday in Bloomington (IN) this year at some point.
