Sad news on Hoeppner
Just saw on the ESPN ticker that Terry Hoeppner died of brain cancer. I covered Miami in Hoeppner's first two years as head coach. He was a great guy -- just one of those positive, as-always-upbeat people who make you feel better about life. He could coach, too. Seemed to have it going at Indiana. He'll be missed.

Post a Comment*I covered Hep for two years here at Indiana and couldn't agree more. He was quite possibly the most inspirational coach I have ever come across. I have no doubt that if he joined the Reds organization, even without knowing any baseball, he could help them in the win column just with his attitude and determination. He will be sorely missed around here.
Two Miami University coaches lost in the last year: Randy Walker and now Terry Hoeppner. Both great contributors to the 'Cradle of Coaches'.
Make that three in less than a year. Bo Schembechler played at Miami (under Woody Hayes) and was later Miami head coach for six years before cementing his Hall of Fame status at "That School Up North."
What a rough year for the Cradle.
Terry was a great person as well as coach. His wife Jane is also wonderful, and I truly feel for her this evening.
