This weekend, Indiana University will honor the 2007 football team that, after the death of Terry Hoeppner, made his battle cry of “Play 13” a reality and qualified for the Insight Bowl thanks to a 7-5 season and an emotional victory over Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket Game. CQ’s Kyle Swick recounted that season a few weeks ago as it played out from his vantage point as a freshman at Indiana. As that team comes back to Bloomington without the coach who set them on their path and without their star wide receiver, the focus of the weekend should and will be on reflection of those lives, that season, and how a group of young men managed to grab success out of thin air - even the Hoosiers’ uniforms will pay tribute to Hoeppner and that team.
