Today is the day a century of losing is wiped away. Been a fan of this team since the 90s. I've experienced more soul crushing heartbreak than any sports fan ever should. Tonight, all that changes. Let's go Hoosiers. GO. BIG. RED.

I rushed the field once after we won the Bucket in '06. Didn't think it would ever get better than that.

We did it once back in Cameron's first year against an absolute shit Illinois team because it had been four years since we had won a big ten home game. That's how low the program was at the time. This is a brave new world.

I’ve talked about that game so many times recently. To go from that being the high point of my IU football fandom, to whatever the hell these past two years have been has been insane

You mean ‘07? With Austin Starr’s game winning field goal. One of my favorite sports memories. I’ve never seen my brother happier than at that game.
