Didn't get to see many IU football games growing up on TV....in fact I honestly don't remember seeing any until the magical 87 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall watching them play Florida St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think ESPN could doing college football games until 84/85?? Would have to check but I still don't think I can remember getting an IU football game in Illinois until the Ohio St/Michigan wins in 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Saw this live, with some buddies and 8-10 pitchers, on a big screen in Mother Bears. The place went nuts. For those that have not seen it this was a really exciting game. Possibly the best bowl game that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High draft pick but he fizzled. Went to jail but I think he turned his life around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Very cool! My best friend’s dad was one of the FG kickers on that squad. Have been to a few games at Memorial Stadium with them when he was recognized with the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
