It’s all about protecting The Rock at Indiana. No, we’re not talking Alcatraz… or Duane Johnson… but the boulder in the north (south? West?) end zone. The tradition was established by late head coach Terry Hoeppner, who passed away in 2005.

Hoeppner was an outstanding man and a solid coach… part of the tradition has become honoring his memory, a solid gesture and nothing to joke about.
Other Hoosier football traditions, however, are fair game. We list them here:
That said, Indiana sources tell us the Hoosiers have been pointing to this game since the beginning of the season, with some even saying it’s one of three Big Ten games they expect to win (meaning Illinois and Minnesota must also be on the schedule). That was before the emergence of quarterback Denard Robinson, however… and before we knew how bad this Indiana defense was (though we always had an inkling).
The rock, in fact, might lead the team in tackles the rest of the year if they’d just give it a shot (and again, we’re not talking about Duane Johnson).
Congratulations to last week’s winner, Mike Spath, who picked up his one annual win early this year. This week’s champion receives a pat on the back for a job well done and the chance to participate again next week.
