PERFECT! Indiana’s Historic Rise to the Big Ten Championship (2025-26 Season) - PREORDER ships 03/06/2026
Description
“It’s pretty simple,” Curt Cignetti said soon after taking over the Hoosiers. “I win. Google me.” Cignetti promised to bring a winner to Bloomington. Promise kept. Now you can relive every moment of Indiana’s first unbeaten regular season in 80 years with “PERFECT! Indiana’s Historic Rise to the Big Ten Championship.” This stunning 208-page hardcover collector’s book from the award-winning journalists at the IndyStar and Bloomington Herald-Times captures the inside story of how the Hoosiers went 12-0 in the regular season, beat Ohio State for the first time since 1988 and captured their first Big Ten title since 1967.
It’s all there: The road victory at Oregon that announced Indiana as a national contender. The dominant victory over Purdue in the 100th game with the Old Oaken Bucket at stake. The unforgettable night at Indianapolis when the Hoosiers were crowned outright Big Ten champions for the first time since 1945. And the next afternoon when Indiana rose to the top of the polls for the first time ever.
Plus: The coffee-table book will include full coverage of the Rose Bowl win over Alabama and College Football Playoff, wherever that takes Indiana. “PERFECT!” also will be packed with exclusive photography, behind-the-scenes access and game-by-game coverage of Fernando Mendoza, Elijah Sarratt, Roman Hemby and the team that made history and earned Cignetti his second straight conference coach of the year award.
Whether you’ve been a Hoosiers fan for decades or just witnessed the greatest era in program history, this book belongs on your coffee table. Order your copy today and own a piece of perfection.

Return Policy
Return Policy — ManCave-Decor.com
We want you to love your ManCave-Decor.com purchase. Because we sell everything from ready-to-ship décor to one-of-a-kind custom framed jerseys, our return policy varies by product type — please review the category that applies to your order below.
Ready-to-Ship Items
(Framed banners, spirit rugs, wall art, and other in-stock décor)
- 30-day return window from the date of delivery.
- Item must be unused and in its original condition, in the original packaging (this matters most for framed and glass items — please keep your box until you're sure you're keeping the piece).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to framed items and rugs to cover return freight and handling on large/fragile goods.
- Customer is responsible for return shipping costs unless the item arrived damaged or defective.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–7 business days of us receiving the returned item.
Custom Jersey Framing
(Mat color, name plate, and frame tier selections built around a jersey you mail in to us)
Because these pieces are custom-built around your own jersey and cannot be resold, custom jersey framing orders are final sale and not eligible for return or refund once production has started.
Exception: if your custom frame arrives damaged in transit, or was built incorrectly against the mat color/name plate specifications you submitted, we will repair, rebuild, or refund it at no cost to you. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the issue.
Signed & Authenticated Jerseys
(Framed jerseys with a Certificate of Authenticity from Beckett, JSA, or other authenticators)
- 14-day return window from the date of delivery.
- The jersey, frame, and original Certificate of Authenticity must all be returned together, unworn and undisplayed.
- Returns without the original COA cannot be accepted, as we cannot resell or re-certify the item without it.
- A 15% restocking fee applies, same as ready-to-ship framed items.
Damaged or Defective Items — All Categories
If any item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, we'll make it right at no cost to you — replacement, repair, or full refund, your choice. Contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the damage/issue so we can process it quickly.
