IU vs. Akron

On Saturday September 25th the Indiana Hoosiers football team geared up to take on the Akron Zips. It was the second home football game of the season, and I finally had a free moment to attend. After photographing a Big Brothers Big Sisters tailgate for my internship, I headed into Memorial Stadium, a.k.a. the quarry.


School spirit and excitement wafted through the air as fans began to take their seats with nachos, pizza, hot dogs and sodas. The Marching Hundred took the stage with their usual pre-game performance and the team ran onto the field with cheerleaders as fireworks shook the stadium.


The Hoosiers started the game strong, scoring a breathtaking touchdown within the first three minutes of the game. Hoosier fans whooped and hollered, jingled their keys, shouted out chants with the cheerleaders and cheered on the Hoosiers to victory 35-20.


It was a great game full of fun, excitement and Hoosier pride. If you'd like to watch the Hoosiers in action, you can catch the IU vs. Michigan game on ESPNU at 3:30 p.m. this coming Saturday. Go Hoosiers!
