Hoosier Huddle

The History of Hoosier Huddle

Hoosier Huddle was founded in 2013 by Sammy Jacobs and Lloyd Ribner. Their goal was to enhance the coverage of Indiana football as an independent site. Since then Hoosier Huddle has evolved as we now cover all of IU sports. 

Hoosier Huddle is your home for in-depth, passionate, and respectful coverage of Indiana University athletics. From the roar of Memorial Stadium to the electric atmosphere of Assembly Hall, we bring together IU fans from across the country—and around the world—to celebrate everything Crimson and Cream.

HoosierHuddle.com is more than just a sports forum—it’s a community. We provide a space to discuss breaking news, game-day analysis, recruiting, and the rich history of Hoosier sports, all while maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment.

Whether you’re a lifelong IU supporter, you’ll find your voice here. A student might be discovering the magic of Bloomington for the first time. Or perhaps you’re just someone who loves college sports done right.

What We Value:

  • In-Depth Original Coverage: We don’t do hot takes or recycle other’s expertise as our own.
  • Respectful Conversation: We may be passionate, but we’re always civil.
  • Credible Discussion: No hot takes for clicks—just honest, informed conversation.
  • True Community: Win or lose, we’re in this together as Hoosier fans.

So pull up a seat in the Huddle. Let’s talk IU sports—loud, proud and together.

Welcome to Hoosier Huddle.
