Cheaney won POY. TJD would be the second such IU honoree.

Cheaney was on a team that spent 5? weeks as #1 and no lower than #6 and B1G Champions back when it was earned. He had a leg up of TJD but no matter what, Very impressive accomplishment for TJD. An award that isnt as important to todays society as it once was. JMHO.

Cheaney was so enjoyable to watch. I remember seeing that class versus ND as freshmen. Man that was something. I know they came down to earth and struggled a little (as freshmen) in conference play, but man did they make up for it. I believe as a class they won more games over a four year period than any other Hoosier team. Their last two conference seasons were unbelievable. (ARGH KU, Duke, Ted V., Alan’s injury)

I don’t really know how CC could be anything less than a top 5 “favorite” player of any IU fan. So smooth, Walter Payton.ish “Sweetness” .
