Don Fischer, Voice of the Hoosiers, Previews IU-Minnesota | Presented by Hope Plumbing!

Voice of the Hoosiers, Don Fischer, joins the show. He and JMV will get together during the bye week next week, but right now, all eyes are on Indiana for their matchup against Minnesota Saturday afternoon. What exactly is Josh Hoover’s injury, being held to the standard of last year's team, the defensive line and how it’s kept Indiana in ball games this year. Does he still think about how long it took for Indiana Football to get here to relevance? Lastly, college hoops returns next week and Don is ready for it.
