Indiana wasn’t supposed to be here — but Curt Cignetti just delivered the most improbable championship run college sports has ever seen. From a program with no history to a perfect season and a national title, this is the ultimate underdog/feel-good sports story. Indiana’s 16–0 championship season wasn’t built on hype, five-stars, or tradition. It was built on toughness, belief, and a roster of misfits that bought in when no one else believed. In this episode of The Ricky Cobb Show, we break down how Curt Cignetti turned one of college football’s bottom-tier programs into national champions — and why this run may never be repeated, and why it IS the greatest story in the history of college sports Learn more about your ad choices.

Ricky Cobb breaks down why the outrage over the Dodgers’ spending is completely misplaced — and why Major League Baseball actually needs a super team right now. Instead of blaming Los Angeles for playing by the rules, maybe the real problem is MLB’s broken economic model, soft salary penalties, and a league that’s been coasting without urgency. Super teams drive ratings, attention, and relevance — something baseball desperately needs in 2026 and beyond. And money doesn't mean you win in October. If a work stoppage is coming, it won’t be because the Dodgers tried to win. It’ll be because MLB refused to fix the system. Don’t hate the Dodgers. Hate the denial. Learn more about your ad choices.
