"We don't have problems.  We have opportunities."  ~ Terry Hoeppner

With the Hoosiers down 35-10 at the half, I'd say they have a tremendous opportunity in the second half.  Let's just hope they make the most of this opportunity.

***Update*** As you can see, they didn't make as much of the 'opportunity' as I'd hoped. Although they tried to make a ( Read more... )

In honor of the Hoosiers' return to the bowl scene, here's a video from the coach of today's opponent. I'm also a man (but I'm not 40), but as a father of children, I think this video is pretty funny. Not as funny as another Big 12 coach's rants ('It's Division I football!'), but it's still pretty funny.

Hoosier Scoop has a great picture that will be used on the cover of an upcoming Insight Bowl special edition.

That #13 sticker on the helmet brought a tear to my eye.

For the past week or so, reports have been flying around that Fox 59 was going to try to get the broadcast rights to show the Insight Bowl on local TV. This would be great for me since I, like the majority of central Indiana Hoosiers, do not have access to the NFL Network. On Tuesday evening, I sent an email to Fox 59 voicing my support for such ( Read more... )

That's right! Although it has yet to appear on the IU website or the official Bowl website, it seems that Oklahoma State has jumped the gun (what do you expect from Cowboys?) and announced that the Cowboys and Hoosiers will be playing on New Year's Eve in the Insight Bowl!

Mission accomplished! The Hoosiers are gonna Play 13!Now for my own ( Read more... )

This is the first time I've been able to actually watch the winning field goal. I'm getting tired of not being able to watch the Hoosiers play this year - the first year they're going to a bowl since 1994. If they go to the bowl a lot of people are expecting them to go to, the Insight Bowl in Tempe, AZ, then I'll have trouble watching them ( Read more... )

The IU vs. Purdue Old Oaken Bucket game is important to any Hoosier or Boilermaker fan. There's a certain pride that comes with beating your instate rival. Of course, that pride has stayed with the Boilers for essentially forever. It's kinda tough to say it's a rivalry game when it's been so lopsided for so long. But, it's a rivalry nonetheless ( Read more... )

Yes, it's still too soon to start making plans to attend a bowl game featuring the Hoosiers this year. I get that. I agree. There have been historic meltdowns in the program before, crushing any hopes of a bowl bid for those of us who are dedicated enough to even call ourselves IU football fans. That being said, the Hoosiers are on a mission to ( Read more... )

What do these football teams have in common?  That's right!  Indiana has a better record than all of them!  When's the last time that has happened?  Has it ever happened?

Indiana's 3-0 and Kellem Lewis (that's 'Mr Big Ten Player of the Week Kellem Lewis) looks like the second-coming of one ( Read more... )
