IU Football Coach Terry Hoeppner lost his battle with brain cancer on Tuesday at the age of 59. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hoeppner family.
Coach Hep brought such energy and passion to IU football. Last season, despite having brain surgery on September 13, he coached IU to within 1 win of a bowl game. I'll never forget the 2 Saturdays in October when IU beat Iowa and destroyed Michigan State on Homecoming. There was an electricity inside Memorial Stadium. Even in the bowl years of undergrad I don't remember that much excitement.
Rest in peace Coach Hep. You'll be missed.
