Indiana Hoosiers football has been part of Bloomington since 1887, a pillar of campus life and Big Ten tradition. The Hoosiers claim conference crowns from 1945 and 1967, the latter sending IU to the Rose Bowl. Fans still celebrate the shutout of Baylor in the 1991 Copper Bowl and the gritty teams built by coach Bill Mallory. From early pioneers to modern playmakers, Indiana has carved memorable chapters in college football.

Legendary back Anthony Thompson and electric quarterback Antwaan Randle El set the tone for a program that thrives on creativity and heart. Each fall, the Old Oaken Bucket battle with Purdue caps the season and ignites the state. Home games at Memorial Stadium, known as The Rock, feature the Marching Hundred, Hep’s Rock in the north end zone, and lively tailgates across the grass lots, creating a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere that keeps Hoosier Nation coming back.
