I never watched “Hoosiers” until I was a freshman in college, and only because I said I didn’t know what a Hoosier was. I was also at DePauw University in Indiana (with you, Beth, lol), so you can only imagine the reaction I received 😆
So, ever since then, I have become a passionate fan of all things Indiana. When I had the opportunity to relocate to Indianapolis from Ohio for work, I jumped at the chance. I have cheered for the Colts, Pacers, and most recently Caitlyn Clark of the Olympics and now the WNBA.
While I am once again back in the Buckeye State, I will always look to Indiana as my home away from home.
Thank you for sharing this story, and now I need to find “Hoosiers” to watch this weekend.
I love this, Kim! And yes, it can be hard for Hoosiers to understand when people outside our state do not share our love for Norm and the Huskers.
But we are welcoming folk, and I'm so glad to hear you had positive experiences in Indiana. Now you can sing "Back Home Again in Indiana" whenever you return (just like I do).
