For those of you from Indiana, we have a special offer. Pre-order from us with this pricing; pay with cash or check; and pick it up in our store, and we will apply an additional 5 percent discount to help offset the sales tax you pay by buying locally.

A million years ago I had an Indiana connection (girlfriend; family from Indy, both

sides; she went to IU). Visited there twice in the 70's; Bloomington and Indy (left Mobile

and it was mid 60's; got out of the car there and it was 27 - weird).

 

So, clear this up:

 

To me "Hoosier" meant/means anyone from Indiana, and is not connected to a school.

But some seem to attach "Hoosier" to IU types. Has this changed over time? 

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Nope, still means someone from Indiana, though there are a lot of them wearing cream and Crimson. I have taken great pleasure telling them the Monon gray and red was for Wabash and not Indiana. I'm definitely a Hoosier but a Boilermaker first! This year was my fortith anniversary of earning my engineering degree. After spending most of my career on the road, I am glad to be home in Indiana.
