Anthony Leal has been to about 13 Hoosier Hysteria’s in his life. Some of his favorite memories growing up come from attending these events, which when we was younger, it was called Midnight Madness.
On Oct. 5, Leal was at another Hoosier Hysteria, but this one felt slightly different.
It wasn’t because of the new candy-striped stage below the five National Championship banners, which he said reminded him of an NBA All-Star game. It wasn’t about the fire and pyrotechnics either.
It was because this time, Leal knows in a year’s time he will be walking out on that stage and getting introduced to the crowd inside Assembly Hall.
