Huskers, Hawkeyes or Gophers -- Who is closest to becoming the next Indiana Football?

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Yes, Indiana football is the greatest, most amazing story in the history of college football. We can all agree on that, right?   But was it a miracle? Did Curt Cignetti (google him) work magic?   If the Hoosiers — the most losing program in the history of major college football — can turn from trash to treasure in two years, why not the Huskers, Hawkeyes, or Gophers?   The three FBS programs with the most devout followings in eastern South Dakota and northwest Iowa had all been historically way better than Indiana until Cignetti and his NIL/transfer portal lever-pulling lapped them.   So, who is the closest of these three former "Big Ten West" rivals to becoming the next Indiana? What does it take?   That's the big question of the day on Tuesday's "Happy Hour with John Gaskins."   The host dives into those three programs' current state and potential to become Hoosiers.
