IS WHERE THE

The one-sided history between Indiana and Michigan

By Jacob Spudich jaspudi@iu.edu | @spudichjacob

This Saturday, Indiana football faces off against Michigan for the 71st time in program history. While both teams come into this game with winning records, the history between the two programs pits a college football juggernaut against a college football jester.

Michigan leads all of college football — regard less of level — in all-time wins with 980 wins. Indiana is on the other end of the spectrum with 698 losses, the most of any program all-time. Indiana is also last in the Big Ten with 502 alltime wins. The Wolverines have 11 national champi onships to the Hoosiers’ zero and 43 conference championships to Indiana’s two.

Of the two teams’ previ ous 70 meetings, 60 of them concluded with Michigan on the winning end, with their first meeting coming over 100 years ago.

To set the scene, the year is 1900. President Wil liam McKinley is up for a reelection bid that he will eventually win, Hawaii has just become a U.S. territory,

the Wright Brothers just started experimenting with manned glider flights and on Nov. 3, Indiana officially faced off against Michigan for the first time in football program history.

Michigan won the first matchup, 12-0 and would go on to win the next three matchups in the next three years without allowing Indiana to score a single point. All four of those games would also be host ed by the Wolverines in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The two teams wouldn’t play each other for 22 years before meeting again in Ann Arbor in 1925. Michi gan’s win over Indiana in 1925 would end up sticking as the largest margin of vic tory for either team, 63-0.

Through five matchups between the teams, the Wolverines had outscored the Hoosiers, 219-0.

In 1928, behind Indiana head coach Harlan Page, the Hoosiers captured their first win against Michigan with a resounding 6-0 vic tory.

For the next 24 match ups — spanning 37 years— Michigan rolled over In diana. Although the Hoo siers got a couple jabs in

throughout the years, they were only able to win eight out of 24 matchups from 1931to 1968. 29 games into the series, Michigan led in wins, 21-8 .

In terms of this match up, the 1970s and 1980s be longed to the Wolverines,

matches between the two and Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler was 14-0 against the Hoosiers. Enter Bill Mallory.

The Indiana head coach would go on to be the win ningest coach in program history, but going into 1987 he was 0-3 against Schem bechler and the Wolverines.

The 1987 season’s start was promising for the Hoo siers as prior to the match up with No. 20 Michigan, No. 15 Indiana had already gone to Columbus and dis mantled No. 9 Ohio State, 31-10.

The conditions for the game were ferocious, not only was it raining but the Hoosier’s fans were sought to make it tough for the op posing Michigan team.

“Our crowd was so loud,'' Indiana broadcaster Don Fischer said in a 2005 Indiana athletics interview. “The official never made a loud-speaker announce ment. He just stood back there waiting for the crowd to quiet. Our crowd didn't shut up.”

while the Hoosiers had just 190 total yards — Indi ana was able to make stops when it needed to

“Every big play the de fense had to make, they made,” Fischer said.

With the crowd cheering them on, Indiana prevailed and took down Michigan 14-10, beating Ohio State and Michigan in the same year for the first and only time in school history.

“Bo Schembechler, after this game, criticized our crowd for being too loud,” Fischer said. “He was ran kled because they got beat. He criticized our crowd for being too loud in a 50,000seat stadium and he has had a 104,000 stadium in Ann Arbor.”

That ended up being as good as it got for Indiana’s luck against Michigan. It was their own win against Michigan from 1968 to2019.

For the next 32 years the Wolverines had the Hoo siers’ number winning 24 consecutive games against the Hoosiers, spanning seven Indiana head football coaches.

Going into the 1987 matchup, the Wolverines had won 15 consecutive

Although Michigan out gaining Indiana in terms of total yardage — the Wol verines had 300 total yards with 152 rushing yards

The Hoosiers got close a couple times, including a double overtime loss in 2015 where Indiana run ning back Jordan Howard ran for 238 yards and two touchdowns. As well in 2017, when Indiana suf fered another overtime loss, losing 27-20, both games happening in Bloomington.

The streak inevitably ended in 2019, to the relief of Hoosier fans, when Indi ana cruised past Michigan 38-21 behind 342 yards and three touchdown passes from then-Indiana quarter back Michael Penix Jr.

Since then, Michigan re turned to form, winning last year’s contest 29-7 in Ann Arbor. Although just like the previous three meetings in Bloomington, The Hoo siers looks to challenge the Wolverines no matter the record of both teams nor the trajectory they’re on.

IU welcomes Michigan for homecoming weekend faceoff

By Garrett Newman ganewman@iu.edu | @GarrettNew man20

Indiana football will host No. 4 Michigan on Saturday for the second time in the last five years for homecom ing. In their last homecom ing meeting in 2017, Michi gan was able to sneak out of Bloomington with a 27-20 overtime victory.

Last season, Michigan seemed to break through for the first time under head coach Jim Harbaugh, finish

ing the Big Ten schedule un defeated and booking them selves a trip to the College Football Playoff. It was the first playoff appearance in Michigan’s program history.

The early part of this year has been steady for the Wol verines, as they have glided to an undefeated record fol lowing a preseason quarter back battle that dragged into the regular season. Led by sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who beat out vet eran graduate student Cade McNamara for the starting

spot this fall, Michigan will rely heavily on its rushing at tack.

While Indiana has had issues with missed tackles throughout the early portion of this season, it has seem ingly tightened up the run defense of late. The Hoosiers have allowed just 155 rush ing yards combined in their last two matchups against the University of Cincinnati and Nebraska.

“Excited about this week end,” Indiana head coach Tom Allen said. “It is a great

opportunity for our program with the Michigan Wolver ines coming for Homecom ing, and Big Noon Kickoff being here, there are a lot of guys excited about that as well.”

If Indiana hopes to pull off the upset, it will likely have to rely heavily on the health of their receiving corps. Last week, Indiana was without its leading receivers: junior Cam Camper and senior DJ Matthews Jr.

“This is a big week for us to be able to get healthy, get

better and press on," Allen said. "Hopefully we will get both of those guys back, if at all possible,” Allen said.

As for the Indiana run game, it has been hit or miss so far. Senior running back Shaun Shivers has shared the backfield with fellow senior Josh Henderson, and neither has been able to find consis tent yards to this point. Look for freshman running back and return specialist Jaylin Lucas to possibly get more opportunities this week after breaking off a 34-yard run

last week against Nebraska.

Junior quarterback Con nor Bazelak and the Hoosier offense have struggled to start the game strong in the first few weeks, and against a team like Michigan, it will be necessary not to fall behind early.

Indiana will look to halt its losing skid this homecom ing weekend against a No. 4 Michigan team who hopes to be back in the College Foot ball Playoff this January. Find the game on FOX at noon, Saturday.

The Hoosiers are 3-2 on the year and coming off back-to-back road losses to the University of Cincinnati and Nebraska. With a highly ranked opponent coming to town in No. 4 Michigan, things are not getting any easier.

It will be a difficult game for the Hoosiers but given how they tend to play on homecoming weekend, don’t be shocked if it ends up being a close one.

Now that homecoming is on the mind of the stu dents and alumni coming to Bloomington, let’s look back at the last five Indiana home

2021 vs. Michigan State

When Indiana played Michigan State last year for homecoming, it was a tight one. The Spartans entered the game ranked No. 10 in the nation with an unde feated record. They sported a new look offense with trans fer running back Kenneth Walker III and quarterback Payton Thorne.

Indiana’s defense played incredibly and held Michi gan State to just one score, heading into the locker room ahead 9-7. A strong third quarter propelled the Spar tans to the win, as the Hoo siers couldn’t mount a late game drive, losing 20-15. In what was a disappointing

season for Indiana, the team put up a good fight.

2020 No homecoming game due to COVID-19.

2019 vs. Rutgers

This Indiana football sea son was one filled with opti mism. It was the university's bicentennial year, and there was plenty to celebrate both on and off the field for home coming.

Indiana hosted a 1-4 Rut gers program on a sunny fall day and came out with the shutout victory, 35-0. The Hoosier’s scored 21 points in the first quarter and never turned back for Tom Allen’s first homecoming win. Thenredshirt freshman quarter

back Michael Penix Jr. went 20-29 for 282 yards, three touchdowns and one inter ception. Then sophomore running back Stevie Scott ran the ball 12 times for an enormous 164 yards rushing. Indiana went on to finish the season with an 8-5 record.

2018 vs. Iowa Facing the Iowa Hawk eyes who came into the game sporting a 4-1 record, 2018 was a rough game for Indi ana. The Hawkeyes crushed the Hoosiers by a score of 42-16 in a one-sided game. It was Tom Allen’s second homecoming at the helm, and after the game he said he felt he had let Hoosier’s fans down. Iowa junior quarter back Nate Stanley threw for

six touchdowns and a 199.0 passer rating to put Indiana away.

2017 vs. Michigan In 2017, Indiana faced the same opponent they face this Saturday — the Michigan Wolverines. Led by Jim Har baugh in what was his sec ond season as head coach, the Wolverines came to Bloomington having lost just one game that season. Indi ana fell behind 13-3 heading into halftime but were able to tie the game in the second half to force overtime. Un fortunately for the Hoosiers, they were unable to come out on top, falling 27-20.

2016 vs. Nebraska

The homecoming game

in the 2016 season was In diana head coach Kevin Wilson’s last appearance on homecoming; he parted ways with the university at the end of the regular season. The Indiana team was 3-2 heading into the game — the same as this season’s team — and was hosting the No. 10-ranked team in the coun try, Nebraska. Also keeping with the trend from the cur rent Hoosier football season, Indiana fell behind early in the first quarter of the game before storming back to make it close. The Hoosiers would erase a 17-point defi cit but eventually fall to Ne braska 27-22, missing out on its opportunity to hand the Cornhuskers their first loss of the season.

COLUMN: The case for IU to bring back the bison mascot

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

It’s been over 43 years since IU has had a recogniz able face to go along with its name. Ever since, all there is to look at are the IU letters that make up the pitchfork and the “Hoosiers” nickname — which hardly anyone un derstands.

A brief history of Indiana’s mascot attempts and sugges tions seem necessary. Most attempts have been utterly stupid, explaining their short tenures.

Between 1908 and 1965, IU attempted mascots includ ing an owl, a real-life toddler, a golden eagle named Jim Watson and a fraternity bull dog named Ox.

In 1965, the student senate unanimously voted on a new mascot to represent Indiana: the bison.

The main inspiration for the choice is the state seal of Indiana, which features a bi son. Already, it has more con nection to the state than any previous mascot.

At first, students advo cated for a live bison to run out on the field. Due to finan cial constraints, that idea was turned down. So, they turned to a costume.

The original draft was rough to say the least. There were no arm holes inside or hind legs on the costume. It also had terrible posture.

According to a 1969 IDS article, the school reached out to Walt Disney for help in a new design. Disney redirect ed the school to a Los Angeles firm, who introduced a new design.

It was not so improved. The inside of the costume swelled with heat, and there were no eyeholes, requiring a

cheerleader to pull the bison around by rope.

Unable to ever get the right design, the bison was discon tinued in 1969 after four years as the mascot.

Indiana tried its hand at a mascot once more in 1979 with Mr. Hoosier Pride. The reception was terrible, and he was booted after one year.

Since then, the ever-so familiar pitchfork has been Indiana’s identity. While it isn’t necessarily bad, it’s time to bring back the bison, and here’s why:

Uniqueness

In all of Division I, there are currently three schools with a bison mascot, none of them at the Football Bowl Subdivision level Indiana is. Indiana is the biggest brand of those schools by far, so adopt ing the bison has the potential to become one of the more recognizable college mascots due to IU’s already big brand and a distinctive icon.

What is a Hoosier?

Those associated with Indiana are all too familiar with this question. The bison would not only be an image for the nickname, but it could further tie together the state identity due to its roots.

Branding and marketing

This is, by far, the greatest argument for reinstating the bison. The branding and mar keting opportunities would be endless with a new logo to plaster everywhere.

Adidas would eat it up. A whole new clothesline featur ing the bison could be intro duced, and I can assure you that merchandise would fly off the shelves.

In terms of school use, there are several directions to go. First to mind is a new set of

alternate uniforms, likely ap pearing on a football helmet or as subtle as on the waist band of basketball uniforms. At its biggest, it could be a temporary or permanent logo on courts and fields across all sports.

Something new

Since Indiana has aban doned mascots all together, we’ve seen the “IU” pitchfork have multiple evolutions. Like the thicker pitchfork from 1976-1981, the drop shadow form used from 1982-2002 and now its cur rent solid pitchfork.

While continuing the same logo can be identified as history and tradition, it can also be boring. Introduc ing something new to see and identify with is refresh ing, and it’s ten times better when it’s a bison.

If you’re unsure of your stance on the bison, just imagine an Old Oaken Buck et game with Purdue Pete and Indiana’s bison mascot facing off. Two magnificent figures facing off as the pride of their respective universi ties.

The university itself seems dead set on keeping the tri dent, which makes sense. The pitchfork has become the school’s entire brand, so it would be hard to make that transition.

That doesn’t mean it can’t, or shouldn’t, be done. What would it take to get things in motion? Maybe a petition, a push from the student government or even from an alumni group.

Whether or not this will happen in the future is un known, but one thing is cer tain. If Indiana ever decides to bring back a mascot, it should be the bison.
