Indiana football raised a championship banner. Its players had already moved on
Indiana football unveiled a banner for its 2025 national championship. 'Seriously?' receiver Charlie Becker said. 'Where's it at?'
Indiana's college football team, the Hoosiers, recently displayed a championship banner in Memorial Stadium before a 52-16 victory over North Texas. The No. 6 team, with a record of 1-0, unveiled the banner during a sold-out game, and the crowd sang along to Queen’s “We Are The Champions.” However, the players were not preoccupied with the banner as they stepped onto the field.
Isaiah Jones, the linebacker, admitted he didn’t notice the banner and focused on competing with the new team. Receiver Charlie Becker was equally indifferent, only becoming aware of the banner after being informed. He still expressed enthusiasm for the win, saying, “That’s sick.” Coach Curt Cignetti had emphasized the importance of humility and determination throughout the offseason, which evidently resonated with the players.
The team’s emphasis on staying focused and not dwelling on past successes contributed to their current success and avoided any signs of complacency.
