... A great coach and a great man. Sad to hear of his passing. My b-in -law coached with Mark. He truly loved IU football... we'll all miss the contributions he made to these forums over the years... https://www.huberfuneralhome.net/obituaries/mark-newlin..

Mark was a great coach and even greater man. May God bless his family with comfort and peace.

I am thankful Mark got to enjoy the 2024 IU football season.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Damm, sorry to hear. He was definitely a guy that I enjoyed interacting with. His love for Indiana football was very evident.

Rest easy, coach.

Very sad to hear. Thanks for letting us know.

 

[HurryingHoosiers]

That is sad news. Great poster

 

[Chriselli]

He had to have been the all time leader in post likes. I think that speaks to his enthusiasm and the positive energy he brought to IU football and this board. I wish his family peace and comfort.

 

[It Will Do]

Mark was a great member of this board. He always was positive and supportive. I will miss his contributions.

 

[Walt542]

Very sad. I always enjoyed his posting. Will be missed.

 

[YOTHN]

Super sad to hear this. He seemed like one of us diehards. I agree with other posters, glad he was able to enjoy last season.

Top notch HC in Indiana HS FB. I learned much from his X and O's knowledge. Always enjoyed a discussion involving Mark because he was also a damn good man. Just hate it he's gone.

 

[Big Red Buffalo]

This is very disheartening. I only knew him by his pseudonym but he always struck me as a very young guy. He will certainly be missed. Even more disheartening is I had no idea that he was also a Marine. I wish I had known that and maybe we could have connected more… he really is gonna missed… this sucks.

Sorry to hear.

Just a great human being . Glad he saw 2024 FB season

 

[4IUSox2]

Sorry to read this. He seemed a great guy and coach here. His enthusiasm for IU football was off the charts. Very positive, which I’m sure the kids he coached appreciated. Thank you to his family for sharing him with all of us here. Tonight we all raise a glass to Vesuvius!! And come IU football season, more of the same.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Just a great human being . Glad he saw 2024 FB season

Wish he could see us win the whole damn thing this 2025 season though!☹️! RIP! Someone should rep his name in the new forum once this shuts down!

Although we never met "in person" he was a great friend on here...

He'll very much be missed...

Like many have said, I'm glad he got to see last season...

Marine, Coach, Patriot, INDIANA Football Fan, and all around great guy...

That's a solid epitaph...

RIP Vesuvius...

 

[OpenWheels]

That's sad news. Condolences to his family and friends.

I only knew him from here but appreciated his posts, his decency, his thumbs ups. Sad to hear that he's gone.

68! When I was 30, 68 was ancient but not now.
Way to young!

 

[ekk]

What a nice guy he was. Only knew him from on here but Always very positive and just a great asset to this board. He will definitely be missed.

 

[Bucket Getter]

Sorry to read this. Peace and comfort to his family. And yes, 68 is way too young. 🙏

 

[Big Red Buffalo]

Let’s start a push to have a helmet sticker that reads Vesuvius13 RIP….. great way to build a fan connection…. Unlikely but it would be good and he would have loved it 👍 my last thumbs up for Vesuvius

 

[IU Fan 1989]

So sorry to hear this news. He was knowledgeable and eternally opportunistic about IU football. He will be missed! Semper Fi!

 

[Crossblock]

Condolences to family. Sorry to hear. Didn't realize Who He was until I saw name and read obituary. He Coached here in Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana for several years. Always felt I had a connection with Him. he posted likes on probably 80% of my posts, and I posted a lot of Likes on His. It was like We saw lot of things in the technical aspects of the game the same way.

 

[red hornet]

I miss him already! RIP.

 

[CC Mac]

I think the word you’re looking for is epitaph, and I agree, he seemed like a good guy who loved Indiana football.

[82hoosier]

I think the general level of positivity on this board is, in part, a reflection of the positive feedback that he would leave on people’s posts. He will be missed.

Doing a search I saw that his last post was on June 20th. I’m looking for it to give it a thumbs up.

Yeah, I thought I needed to go back and take a look at that this morning and didn't do it... I'll edit it now... Thanks for the heads up (as embarrassing as it is... it's not a word I use often)...

 

[sparkeyreturns]

Dang, the dude that liked everybody's posts. Very sorry to hear this

 

[4IUSox2]

Can’t quite tell when he gave his final “like”, but looks like he was commenting up until 6/17 on the Campbell and Keys recruiting threads. I wonder who got the high honor of his final “like?”

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

This is so very sad. He was posting here just a week ago and was so excited for the upcoming season. Always positive and fully engaged with IU football.

RIP V

So sad to hear this.

Mark was a frequent commentator on our old site. He was always insightful and knowledgeable. We will miss you.
