Why Former Indiana Stars Antwaan Randle El and Vaughn Dunbar Belong in the College Football Hall of Fame #iufb #Hoosiers https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/indiana-football-antwaan-randle-el-vaughn-dunbar-college-football-hall-of-fame-case
Hopefully, Indiana, coming off an undefeated national championship season, will also give them a tailwind.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

I know, I know.
Still, if I was a voter and not an IU fan or ARE lover, I'd hold it against him. The greatest players in most any team sport turn the team into winners. ARE didn't. We all know why, but those on the outside looking in won't.
I hope I'm wrong. If I am I'll even say a couple nice things about @hooky as penance.
Additional reasons both belong imo as I'm probably the only person who's own elite sports career, lol, overlapped indirectly both ARE and Dunbar.
ARE once hit a softball so incredibly hard and with such incredible overspin at me playing third base in our Intramural Softball Final 4 game that I misjudged the four or five foot drop, got lit up on my left shoulder, but avoided an error by taking the very painful force out at third.
A few times in Middle School our football team crossed old Reed Rd. and shared the practice field with the Panther varsity team Dunbar's senior HS season.
There's no doubt, while he was taking water, that he wasn't impressed with my 6th or 7th grade D-Line snaps up close, and not from the usual distance between our two schools practice fields.
