Bushmage Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm reading something happened to Terry Hutchens or his family today, does anyone know what happened? Terry is without a doubt one of my favorite IUBB writers. He's written a few great books and always love his articles. Pretty bummed to hear he might not be doing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I just noticed a couple of tweets from colleagues, but can't find any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Terry's articles appear in our local paper down in the Jeffersonville / New Albany area. I really enjoy his stuff. Those tweets are concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmage Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I am reading on Peegs that, per Dakich, he had a seizure while driving and crashed his car. Apparently he is in bad shape. I can't confirm any of this however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Never one to release a story based on rumor. Terry first introduced me to internet news about good old IU, when he was at the Indy Star. At least 15 or more years ago. Since leaving the Star, he has had several ups and downs, professionally. Mostly downs, until lately. Ran John Decker's Hoosier Nation on the old Scout network for a while. Wasn't able to generate much of a following. Then, spent some time at B-town Banners, before finally landing on his feet for the Indiana Media Group/CNHI papers. All through the process has written several books about IU. I can't recall a time when he has ever said anything nasty about IU. Just straight out reporting. Many prayers to a legitimate good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like his book Rising From The Ashes gave a good inside on what happened to the program after BK but some of it as mostly the articles he wrote for the Star.

Like you Mile, I started following his work when he was at the Indy Star. I was living out of state and I would check every day for a new blog post with any info about the team. He was probably my gateway to the wonderful world of IU message boards. Prayers to him for a full recovery, and prayers to his family as well. 🙏🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Terry is a true journalist in every sense of the word. Always gracious. Replied when he didn't need to do so. When it came from him you new it was sourced and double checked correctly. Hopefully he'll recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 As I read our board along with other IU fan boards.... one thing strikes me. People ,Terry most likely never knew, nor was he ever aware of .... all to a person.... have nothing but kind things to say about him. Rare in this day and age, I dare to say. Just know Terry. IU fans from all over love you, and are pulling for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushmage Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 'Rising from the Ashes' was my first book I read by him, a Christmas gift from my parents after I told them I thought he was one of the only IUBB guys worth reading all of their tweets. It was a book I read really quickly, and usually I take forever to finish reading something even when enjoying it. Read 'Hoosiers Through and Through' next and kept up with all his IndyStar articles, never saw him be much of a clown or say something dumb. Terry is a true journalist, an increasingly rare kind of professional. Hoping he can pull out of whatever medical challenges he has ahead of him now.
