BLOOMINGTON — It's been an incredible start for IU football. The team is undefeated at 7-0 and the rest of the home games are sold out.It’s a big turnaround from the previous 3-9 season.“Depressing, hard to watch, not a lot of fan enthusiasm,” that’s how Daniel Cunningham, Aakash Parekh, and Evan Wodock all described Hoosier football during their time at school. They’re now juniors.
“This is by far the most excited I’ve seen this town about football,” said Galen Clavio, the director of the sports media program at IU.Clavio has witnessed about 40 seasons of IU football. Sellouts at Memorial Stadium bring in 60,000 people and thousands more come to tailgate.“We’re at or beyond hotel capacity here in town on these football weekends. We’re at or beyond capacity with most of these restaurants.
