No pressure, but Hoeppner isn’t going to have an unlimited number of these to draw upon. I don’t know if he has to win this one or not, I know some people think the season is already a success because of the Iowa game, but since he’s putting this challenge out there if anywhere near 50,000 show up then the team better play one hell of a game and not let MSU pass for 4,000 yards against us like they did last year. When you pull a stunt like this, if it backfires you do run the risk of losing fans. Like Charlie Brown says, you’re either the hero, or the goat.

DontForgetOurVets on "ScoopTalk: So many strikeouts, so many men left on base"It saddens me to see IU fans whine so much about the refs that they resemble fans from Kentucky, Purdue and Illinois who are the biggest whiners in the world.
