Up, up they go. Indiana moved up three spots in the latest college football coaches poll released on Sunday after their win over No. 23 Michigan. The Hoosiers moved up from No. 13 to No.10, marking the program’s highest ever spot in the coaches poll which started in 1992. Indiana was also slotted at No. 10 in the AP media poll. Indiana had not been ranked No. 10 or higher in the AP poll since 1969. They have not been ranked inside the top 10 since their historic 1967 Rose Bowl season. Indiana is the second highest ranked Big Ten…

There have been blowouts, heartbreaking losses and everything in between, but for 33 years and 24 straight games Indiana couldn’t find a way against Michigan. That changed emphatically on Saturday on a picture perfect day in Bloomington. And more than just the weather was ideal on this memorable afternoon for the Hoosiers. No. 13 Indiana jumped out to a 24-7 2nd quarter lead and maintained the margin throughout most of the second half for a convincing 38-21 win over the Wolverines. No. 23 Michigan pulled to within 31-21 and had the ball midway through the 4th quarter, but IU cornerback…

There are no days off with an all Big Ten schedule. And while the rankings suggest Indiana is the better team in their matchup against Michigan, Hoosier fans know that any optimism should come with a healthy dose of caution. That’s because any Hoosier fan under the age of 33 has never witnessed an IU win over Michigan. It is a stretch of futility that is not only older than every player on the team, but also much of the staff. IU offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, a Michigan alumnus, wasn’t born when IU last won in the series. Defensive coordinator…
It took three tries to get the 2020 Big Ten football schedule right. The league is waiting as long as it can to make sure that its basketball slate is one-and-done. CBS Sports college basketball analyst Jon Rothstein reported via Twitter on Friday that the league is “hoping to release its conference schedule for the 20-21 season at some point next week.” Despite some talks about a full round robin, the Big Ten schedule is widely expected to follow the 20 game format that has been utilized in recent years. The NCAA recently committed to a 27 game schedule for…
So what was going on in 1987 you ask? Ronald Reagan was President. Platoon won the Academy Award for best picture. “That’s What Friends are For” was the song of the year. For our younger readers, sorry. You’ll have to Google all that stuff. Also, a certain college basketball team you might care something about won its most recent national title. Oh yeah, and I saw Indiana defeat Blue in 1987, and it was glorious. Since then, the glorious has become an inglorious trail of torment. 33 years and 24 meetings later, Indiana is still looking for its next win…
