A Day I Will Never Forget ❤️🏈❤️
Hoosier Hysteria runs deep in my family. My parents had season tickets for years and went to every game in my Dad’s bright red IU van.— always with the IU fight song playing loud and proud! My brother and I are both IU Alums, and I graduated in 1978.
Our football team in the 70’s was practically nonexistent, but we DID have the undefeated Men’s Basketball team that won the National Championship in 1976– and I was there exactly 50 years ago! That night became one of my most unforgettable moments of my life, right up there with childbirth! 🤪
Monday’s championship game felt just as special. I wore my dad’s wedding band to the game, and it felt like he was right there with me— every cheer, every moment, every emotion. 50 years later, another IU memory etched into my heart forever.
Same pride. Same love. Forever cream and crimson. ❤️
