Monday Notebook – Honoring Coach Hep, Insight Bowl Team

Related Topics: Terry Hoeppner



BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - After a decade, the power of Terry Hoeppner still rocks Indiana's football program.

You'd better believe that matters.

Hoeppner, the former Hoosiers head coach who passed before his time, will have a big presence on Saturday as part of the celebration for the 10th anniversary of the Hoosiers' 2007 Insight Bowl team.

While the main event will be IU's return from an unexpected bye week to host Georgia Southern (0-2) at Memorial Stadium, a key element will be honoring the program's last bowl team.

Hoeppner did not physically coach the 2007 squad -- he passed away from brain cancer six months earlier and was replaced by Bill Lynch -- but he did in spirit.
