Indiana volleyball hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 2010. The Hoosiers have had one first team All-American in the 44 year history of the program, and they have never won a Big Ten title. The challenge was very real when head coach Steve Aird took over in 2018, and in that short span the conversation has already shifted from what hasn’t been to what could be. There is a genuine optimism surrounding the IU volleyball program, perhaps more so than at any time in its history. It’s easier for Aird to have that kind of forward looking, optimistic view, even…

As we count down to Indiana’s 2019 opening game against Ball State on August 31, The Daily Hoosier is looking back at the top ten football seasons in the program’s history. In today’s era of fast paced offense and high scoring games, it is rare to hold an opponent without a touchdown for an entire half. In 1910, the Indiana football team did it for an entire season. After compiling a 5-25-1 conference record all-time prior to 1910, not many saw this season coming. But behind three all-conference players, the Hoosiers were dominant all year long. A survey of the…

As we count down to Indiana’s 2019 opening game against Ball State on August 31, The Daily Hoosier is looking back at the top ten football seasons in the program’s history. It had been 20 years since Indiana had defeated Michigan. 36 years since the Hoosiers last claimed a victory over Ohio State. IU had never beat both the Wolverines and the Buckeyes in the same season. All of those streaks came to an end in 1987. Bill Mallory’s first season (1984) saw the Hoosiers go 0-11. Just three years later, Mallory and his Hoosiers were taking down college football…
Things have progressed from uncertain to promising for a major missing piece from last year’s IU basketball team. In late May, Indiana head basketball coach Archie Miller said this about the health of forward Jerome Hunter. “Jerome is in Bloomington,” Miller said. “He’s continuing with his rehabilitation. He’s been elevated in terms of his activity level. He’s doing a lot more individual stuff. But he’s far, far way of having any indication of any final decision on where he goes from here.” Miller went so far as to characterize Hunter’s status as still “very uncertain.” Although Hunter is still not…
The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2019 Indiana University football season on August 31 against Ball State in Indianapolis. Today we take a look at the wide receivers and tight ends. Very few teams in the country are able to put experience out on the edge like Indiana in 2019. New starting quarterback Michael Penix will have veteran weapons in every direction — something that should provide some degree of comfort to the redshirt freshman gunslinger. Penix also has an emerging star at tight end that…
At this time last year, not many people knew who Indiana running back Stevie Scott was. It didn’t take long for that change. Scott took over mid-game in week one against Florida International and quickly became a household name. By the time he was finished, Scott had set Indiana true freshman records with 1,137 yards, 228 attempts, 10 touchdowns and six 100-yard games. The New York native’s freshman season earned him honorable-mention All-Big Ten (coaches, media) and IU’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year. For 2019, Scott is firmly on the national radar. The 6-foot-2, 231 pound back is on the…
As we count down to Indiana’s 2019 opening game against Ball State on August 31, The Daily Hoosier is looking back at the top ten football seasons in the program’s history. Choosing the best of Bill Mallory’s seasons wasn’t easy, but it is clear that the two year run from 1987 to 1988 was not only his best — but one of the best in school history. The 1988 Hoosiers were coming off of a great season, and the momentum and enthusiasm around the program could not have been higher. IU jumped right out of the gates with a 3-0-1…
The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2019 Indiana University football season on August 31 against Ball State in Indianapolis. Today we take a look at the offensive line. Indiana football has been producing NFL caliber offensive linemen for several years. From veteran Rodger Saffold to Jason Spriggs and Dan Feeney, three Hoosiers were on pro rosters in 2018. Wes Martin seems like a lock to make the Washington Redskins in 2019, and Brandon Knight is getting a good look in Dallas as well. Senior left tackle…
