Sad news. He was a great player on Corso's best IU team.
That ‘79 Holiday Bowl victory he starred in over previously undefeated BYU was one of the epic IU football games in a short list of epic games, historically.
I expect a moment of silence at Saturday’s game in his memory.
Tim is the only IU QB I can recall who adorned his upper lip with a mustache.
Men with mustaches have a natural bond with one another. There’s a left-eyed wink we give each other upon passing, a good for you/good for me sort of acknowledgement. I’ve been a mustache wearer for 53 continuous years now. The same goes for those who wear bolo ties only its merely a head nod in mutual respect. I wear a bolo tie only on special occasions and will be sporting mine at Saturday’s game, in honor of Tim and his ‘79 reunion team. So, if you’re at the game and see a mustached dude with a bolo tie and big, shit-eating grin on face, please introduce yourself while offering me a cold beer.

If true that's surprising because 'staches were big in the '70s and into the '80s. One guy who helped popularize them was Corso's college roommate.

I really appreciated how he played the game. Passed on the eve of the team's reunion. Very sad.
In 1977 or 1978 IU played OSU in B Town. Woody was still coaching the Buckeyes. Cordova had a game plan that used Scott Arnett as a runner & Tim in passing situations. It kept OSU defense off balance. A couple of times Clifford went in on a passing down & would run the option and pick up a first down from 6 or 7 yards. Woody went ballistic. IU lost, but it was close. I think the final score was 21 to 18. Disappointing loss but an entertaining game that previewed Tim Clifford’s skills.
I don't know. I have seen a lot of women porn stars, and none of them have had a mustache!
LOL. Was waiting in anticipation for this. That post was like a hanging curveball for you…
