Each and every year when Indiana and Michigan meet, we are repeatedly reminded of the infamous Hoosier losing streak to the Wolverines. You will surely hear about it in a few weeks when the Hoosiers travel to Ann Arbor. The streak now stands at 31 years, dating back to 1987. The players on the current IU team weren’t born yet. Not even close. The player’s parents might not have started high school yet. It has been a while. But it all came together on one magical fall day in Bloomington. Let’s take a quick look back at October 24, 1987,…
Reese Taylor is redefining what it means to be “Mr. Football.” As a senior in high school, he won that honor as a state championship winning quarterback at Ben Davis in Indianapolis. As a true freshman at Indiana, he hasn’t played a snap at quarterback — but that is just about the only position on the field that has eluded him to this point. And now that too is just one step away from changing. In connection with breaking the news on Monday that quarterback Michael Penix was out for the season with an ACL injury, IU head coach Tom…

Just getting the invite to be a walk-on for the IU…
Sometimes it is about more than a game. Sometimes there is more going on in a young man’s life than football. While we were arguing about quarterbacks, X’s and O’s, and why IU seemed so darn flat against Iowa, Reakwon Jones was wondering if his friends and family were alive, and if they still had a roof over their head. It turns out they didn’t. When Category 4 Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle on the Wednesday leading up to the Iowa game with winds of 155 miles per hour, Jones was supposed to be getting ready for the Hawkeyes. …

If there was a quarterback controversy brewing in Bloomington, it ended abruptly on Saturday afternoon. In his weekly Monday media availability, Indiana University head football coach Tom Allen indicated that true freshman quarterback Michael Penix tore his ACL on Saturday against Penn State. Penix saw his first action of the season against Penn State since the Ball State game. For the game he went 9 for 19 passing for 94 yards. He added 24 rushing yards on two carries and suffered the knee injury on one of those attempts. On the season Penix went 21 of 34 on passing attempts…

Things started fast for Devonte Green in the 2017-18 season. The first gold jersey, the leading scorer at Hoosier Hysteria, and the leading scorer, rebounder and assist man in the first exhibition against Marian. Right or wrong, the expectations for Green soared as…
As Indiana took a 21-20 lead over No. 18 Penn State late in the third quarter yesterday, Indiana fans had good reason to be excited. After a less than inspiring effort the week before against Iowa, this Hoosier football team had clearly not quit on head coach Tom Allen and this 2018 season. If that enthusiasm for the tenuous lead over the Nittany Lions was peppered with a heavy dose of apprehension, there is certainly historical justification for it. As we saw just moments later when Penn State returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards, any such doubts were surely warranted.…
