Remembering Hoeppner (Footblog)

Remembering Hoeppner

Former Indiana coach Terry Hoeppner, who died June 19 from complications of a brain tumor, used to preach to his players "Play 13."

Translated, that means play 13 games in a season -- or go to a bowl game. The Hoosiers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) have the chance to become bowl eligible Saturday at home against Penn State. As David Fox of Yahoo! Sports writes, the Indiana program is "still building Hoeppner's legacy."

Should be an emotional scene this weekend.

Take care,
Mark

Matt Fortuna is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a senior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.

Matt Brown is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Collegian's football editor. He previously covered the Penn State men's basketball, baseball and women's soccer teams. While a fan of most sports, he thinks the 14 Saturdays of the college football season are the best 14 days of the year and all 34 bowl games are worth watching.
