Farewell to a Coach....  

Unfortunately all the recent concerns about Terry Hoeppner's health were well-founded. Terry lost his battle with brain cancer early this morning. We've been following this story pretty closely at the 323, not just because it's a college football story, but because Frazier had a close family friend fight, and eventually lose, the same battle that Terry was fighting. It's a horrible, terrifying disease. As a football coach, Hep seemed to finally have Indiana pointed in the right direction, and it's a tragedy that he and his players will never have the opportunity to fulfill that dream.

But Terry Hoeppner was more than a football coach. He was a husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, friend, and mentor. He will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

He will be missed.
