I recall that. Assholes!! But typical of their fans. Did Doninger send them the bill? If so, did they pay it?

Both involve IUBB versus the same opponent - Duke
Greatest - 2002 - Moye blocks Boozer - IU wins! The most emotional!
Worst - 1992 - Valentine screws IU - IU loses! The most pi$$ed off!

The best game I attended ofcourse being a Colts season ticket holder is the 2006 afc championship game against the Pats! Ive never been in a place so loud! Rated one of the best ever games in nfl history! I also attended the 2007 Bucket game, but that doesnt compare to the Colts game!
the worst game I attended was the Colts/Steelers 2004 playoff game! Close 2nd was the cheatn Pats 2001 game I think( when Willie mcginnis faked injury). Ive attended so many bad IU football games over the years theyve mostly are a blur to me since I was usually hammered, the shlacking we took from Wisc a few years ago when they put up 70pts rings a bell!
As far as the worst game ever, was my final high school game in the 1st round of the sectionals against our rivals Southport hs! I was injured all season with a dislocated knee injury and probly could have played but coaches held me out! As a senior against our rivals, I was extremely pissed off, because we ended up losing 7-6 thanks to a last second fg shank! This was a team we whooped by 30pts in the regular season! If we woulda won we woulda played James Banks and Ben Davis! I still have nightmares about that night and have never forgiven the coaches for keeping me out!

If coach had put you in, you'd have won state.
Watching Lorenzo White run for about 900 yards in the brutal cold back in the 70’s
LOL
The coach just saved them a whooping by Banks & Ben Davis. Those guys were good. Not "2003 Warren Central 50-0 halftime lead over Penn in the Finals" good, but a really good team.
Speaking of, there was a great photo from the State Finals that year with Banks at DB lined up against Jeff Samardzija at WR for Valpo. Just two kids oozing talent. One became a TD monster for ND and the other shot himself in the foot in the biggest ways possible.

Reminds me of Larry Johnson running for 370 in 2002, maybe? We actually had the lead very, very briefly in the second quarter. Then it got bad. And cold.
we felt like we could beat that team! We beat them in the offseason camps and 7 vs 7 tournaments! I think they ended up whipping southport 50-0! I think CTA was with them then too!
I can point directly to the single, greatest 9 month period as an IU fan bar none:
April 1987 - November 1987
National champs in b-ball. Beat OSU and then Michigan in same football season 7 months later. Played for the Rose Bowl.
Would be hard pressed to find any other stretch where both major men’s sports were achieving at a high level.
I remember that stretch of time thinking how surreal it was.

Had PED testing been a thing at that time, IU would have had a national championship in April, and been playing in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
You got that right. F'ing Michigan State. They would fit in well in the SEC.
I had a period like that in '81-'82. Hoosiers won the title. Dodgers won the WS. At that time the Colts had not come here, so I was a Bengals fan then and they made a completely unexpected run to the Super Bowl.
I was a big Dodgers fan back from the days of Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Davey Lopes. I thought I may have been the only person in the entire state who was a Dodgers fan at the time. I was surrounded by Reds and Cardinals fans though, I do know that.
