Last night's 49-33 domination of the Hoosiers by Oklahoma State invoked painful memories for me. The year was 1993. I was back in Bloomington after Christmas pulling night shifts at WFIU. Because Indiana was playing Virginia Tech in the Independence Bowl (their last bowl appearance until yesterday, I might add), I finished work up 5:30AM and headed home in Mom's little white Civic to the region to watch the game. First quarter went great with Thomas Lewis scoring on a 75-yard touchdown pass. The problem came in the final 23 seconds of the half when Virgina Tech scored twice and went on to thrash the Hoosiers 45-20.
Last night was more of the same. Left work at 5:00 PM, rushed to the grocery store, and then went home to watch the trouncing on the DVR after dinner.
Oh well - the #11 ranked Hoosiers play Iowa at 7:00 on Wednesday. Maybe that result will be different.
