IU Misses Bowl Practice Due To Travel Issues
29th December, 2007 - 9:45 am
ESPN - The Indiana University football team arrived in Arizona seven hours late on Thursday, missing a practice for the Insight Bowl.

Indiana's flight was delayed by weather and mechanical problems, but the Hoosiers remained on track to fulfill the goal of their late Coach Terry Hoeppner to play 13 games this year.

"That was obviously a rally cry to our program and our community all fall," said Indiana Coach Bill Lynch, who had been Hoeppner's top assistant since 2004 and was promoted to the top job this past offseason.

Hoeppner died at age 59 in June after a long battle with cancer.

Indiana players will wear "HEP" buttons as they prepare to play Oklahoma State (6-6) in Monday's Insight Bowl. The buttons match patches stitched on the players' jerseys. [READ]
