We love our history, but we love our sports too.  And in this episode, we look at what’s in a nickname.  I think we can all discern where the nicknames of the most popular programs around the country come from…the Yankees, the 49ers, the Oilers, the 76ers…most of these are pretty easy to figure out, right?  Well, there’s one nickname that has a cloud of mystery around it with no distinct answer.  But today, we’re going to talk about the most credible historical reason behind one of the most iconic sports nicknames…the Hoosiers.  Find out its origins, some mysteries that surround it, and the twists that go along with it on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
