Indiana Coach Dies


Boy Jeenius
Head Football Coach Terry Hoepner dies from brain cancer. That's just too wrong. Thoughts and prayers to his family. He was just starting to make an impact there when he got sick last year. Sad, sad news. A loss to Indiana, the Big Ten and college football. He was a real good footbal coach.

very sad news, i saw last week that he was not going to come back and his assistant would take over for the season. Its really going to be hard for the Hooisers to play this year obviously. Thoughts and prayers with the family.

having went to a game in bloomington last year, it was sad to see a big ten football program in such pathetic shape. the stadium was about half full...even with many badger fans.

 

hoeppner was definitely taking the team in the right direction, trying to bring some tradition to the program.

 

tough to keep up with basketball in bloomington though.

As a Northwestern guy, it's impossible not to think of what happened to Coach Walker last year. If you haven't, you should read Ivan Maisel's article on Hoeppner and Walker. Hoeppner was an assistant under Walker at Miami (OH), and the fact they died in consecutive summers coaching Big Ten programs is not only sad, but a little creepy.
