Each year Indiana and Purdue do battle on the gridiron in a football rivalry that dates back to the 19th century.  1891 to be precise. Today we will take the opportunity to look back at the series, the origin of the Old Oaken Bucket, and some of IU’s most memorable wins.

This season the IU men’s basketball team is wearing jersey patches commemorating the 50-anniversary of the last undefeated team in college hoops. Across the parking lot, the IU football team is 11-0 and has a chance to match the magical accomplishment of Bob Knight’s 1976 national championship squad. The personalities of the late Knight and IU football coach Curt Cignetti aren’t exactly the same, but it’s difficult to not notice some of the similarities. Cignetti says he hears the comparison often in Bloomington. “A lot of people around here (at Indiana), I get a lot of that, that you and…

Who from Indiana football should make All-Big Ten when the teams are announced next week? There are plenty of good cases to be made. If they follow last year’s approach, the league office will announce first through third-team offensive and defensive coaches/media teams early next week. Here are the players from Indiana who we think should make one of the teams or honorable mention. ——————————————– OFFENSE ON ONE OF THE THREE TEAMS: – Fernando Mendoza, quarterback:  Leads league in touchdowns, yards per attempt. – Elijah Sarratt, wide receiver:  Tied for the Big Ten lead in receiving touchdowns. – Omar Cooper,…

For the second time in as many tries, IU put together an impressive showing against a high major opponent. Indiana never trailed in this one.  The Hoosiers jumped out to a 20-4 lead with 13:29 left in the first half.  It looked like they might put Kansas State away early.  But the Wildcats responded to pull to within 22-20.  IU closed the first half with a 17-7 run and opened the second 10-2 to take a 49-29 lead with 16:53 left in the game.  Kansas State would get as close as 10, but never seriously threaten again.
