In the history of the women’s tennis program, the Hoosiers have only lost to Michigan State once – an 8-1 Spartan win in 1977. IU coach Lin Loring, in his 30th season with the team, has yet to be defeated by a Michigan State team.

Controversial IUSTV comedy shows lead to statement of decency

By Annemieke van Dongen · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

The three comedy shows that IU Student Television has expanded its programming lineup with this year are all boundary-pushing. Complaints about controversial items have led to the design of a statement of decency at IUSTV, the only independent student-run TV station in the country.

Since then, the Hoosiers have continued their dominance of the Spartans, going 22-4 in Hydinger’s 21 seasons. While No. 71 IU (11-7, 1-2) might be better than Michigan State (9-11, 0-4) on paper, that means nothing to the Hoosiers.
