Badgers blow away IU 55-20

On their final home game of the season, everyone inside Memorial Stadium was treated to one more blowout. Losing to Wisconsin 55-20, the Hoosiers officially lost the chance to become bowl eligible long before the final whistle blew. Down 21-20 at the end of the first half, the Badgers rolled off 34 unanswered points in the second half. Decimated by injuries, IU failed to capitalize after winning the turnover battle and effectively hanging with Wisconsin in the first half. For the first two quarters, it was a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, and as the half came to a close it appeared as if the Hoosiers might head into the locker room with the lead. Driving inside the Wisconsin 10-yard line, sophomore quarterback Ben Chappell took an injury to the head, fumbled and the Hoosiers metaphorically fumbled away their season as the Badgers never looked back.

A lifelong Hoosier

Senior Amber Lindgren had an important decision to make following her fourth birthday. She could learn golf from her father Randy, or spend the summer with her grandparents. She chose golf. Although Lindgren couldn’t play much golf at the age of 4, she would tag along with her father who coached the boys’ and girls’ programs at Northwestern High School in Kokomo, Ind. “At first, I was not allowed to play with his high school team, so I would just watch in amazement and pick up their balls for them,” Lindgren said. Becoming a Hoosier Lindgren, a lifelong Hoosier fan, who came into the world on the day of an IU-Purdue basketball game in 1987, unexpectedly found her way onto the IU golf team and has made a significant impact. Lindgren played in her first tournament at age 6 and received national exposure growing up playing in tournaments all over the country. In 2004 she was named Indiana Golf Tour Player of the Year. Although many acknowledged her as the best player in the state of Indiana, the Hoosier women’s golf team, going through a coaching change at the time had not called her and almost let her go to Iowa.
