Indiana football Summer Fan Night is on July 22 from 6-8 p.m. ET.\u00a0 Described as a family friendly event, fans will enter the stadium through Gate E3 by Hep\u2019s Rock.  IU says the evening will be filled with exclusive experiences, including the opportunity to meet IU mascot Hoosier the Bison, take photos with the championship trophies on the 50-yard line, and receive autographs from select Indiana football players.  There will also be a variety of local food trucks on site, interactive games, and IU Football giveaways throughout the evening. IU is also giving away free 2026 Indiana Football yard signs while supplies last.  Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Four Projected Starters on Indiana University&#8217;s Football 2026 Offensive Line Gave Up Zero Sacks In the 2025 Regular Season<\/strong>\u00a0                                                Indiana returns four starters along the offensive line from its 2025 national championship team.   And with the addition of Wisconsin transfer Joe Brunner, the Hoosiers should have four starters this season who didn\u2019t allow a single regular season sack in 2025.  The other three are left tackle Carter Smith, left guard Drew Evans, and right tackle Adedamola Ajani.  Brunner played 328 pass blocking snaps for Wisconsin last season and allowed just nine pressures (seven hurries and two quarterback hits).   In fact, according to PFF, Brunner has never allowed a sack in 747 career pass blocking snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith made it all the way to the second half of the national championship game before finally allowing a sack last season.\u00a0 He gave up two in that second half.\u00a0 And those sacks come with a major asterisk.\u00a0 Smith allowed NFL first round draft picks Akheem Mesidor and Reuben Bain to get to Fernando Mendoza after he had suffered a late second quarter tear of the labrum in his left shoulder.  Prior to that, Smith was masterful.\u00a0 On his way to first team All-American honors, he didn\u2019t even allow a quarterback hit, much less a sack, in Indiana\u2019s first 15 games.\u00a0 Smith\u2019s efficiency as a pass blocker has improved each year, from 19 pressures in 2023, to 12 in 2024, to just nine in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the most underappreciated player on the team, Evans has also never allowed a sack in his college career.\u00a0 He\u2019s only allowed two quarterback hits in 656 career pass blocking snaps across 22 games.\u00a0 When healthy, Evans is as reliable as they come. And then there was last year\u2019s emergent young talent, Ajani, who saw action at both guard spots and right tackle in 2025 \u2014 his first season seeing meaningful snaps.\u00a0 He had his share of struggles at Penn State, where he allowed five pressures.\u00a0 But Ajani\u2019s confidence seemed to grow and his role expanded.\u00a0 He saw significant action against Ohio State, Alabama and Miami.\u00a0 Ajani didn\u2019t allow a sack in the regular season, but did give up one each against Alabama and Miami \u2014 the only pressure he allowed in each game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that while starting right guard Bray Lynch did allow two regular season sacks \u2014 one each at Iowa and Oregon \u2014 he finished the final 10 games without a sack or even a quarterback hit allowed.\u00a0 And that included the Big Ten Championship through National Championship gauntlet.\u00a0 The middle of Indiana\u2019s offensive line didn\u2019t allow a sack in any of the four postseason games. But this isn\u2019t an offensive line without some question marks ahead of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing 2025 center Pat Coogan won\u2019t be easy of course.\u00a0 A sixth-round draft choice of the Tennessee Titans, Coogan also allowed no sacks in 2025.\u00a0 And whoever mans the center spot in 2026 will be taking on that mission critical role full time for the first time in his college career.\u00a0 Lynch and Evans are the leading contenders to start at center going into fall camp, and it\u2019s a position neither has played.  That won\u2019t be the only positional shuffling.\u00a0 If Lynch plays center, then one of Evans or Brunner will have to play something other than left guard, where both have played almost exclusively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, Ajani is going to have to be ready to step into a full-time role from day one after filling in all over the place in 2025.\u00a0 He only has 112 career snaps at right tackle. Also, who will provide the depth on this unit?\u00a0 There is no real experience beyond the perceived starting five.  But no regular season sacks allowed across four projected starters, while the fifth closed with a clean tally for 10 straight games?\u00a0 That\u2019s a good foundation to build from. Especially as they work all offseason against one of the best front sevens in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Baseball&#8217;s Hogan Denny and Team USA Beat South Korea to Reach the Gold Medal Game <\/strong>                                                                                            The United States Collegiate National Team (3-0) used a seven-run third inning to earn a 10-0 (7 inn.) run-rule win over Korea (1-2) on Tuesday afternoon at the World Collegiate Baseball Championship at Intercontinental Stadium in Taichung City Taiwan. With the victory, the U.S. has secured its spot in the gold medal game on Tuesday, against Japan. Indiana Hoosier Hogan Denny played Right Field as a substitute and went 0-1 at the plate.\u00a0 After being the first team to score in its third consecutive game with a run in the first inning, the stars and stripes plated seven runs on five hits in the third inning to take an 8-0 lead and never look back. Pinch hitter\u00a0JD Stein\u00a0capped off the dominant offensive outing with a two-run inside-the-park home run to secure the run-rule win.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. plated a run in the first inning for the second time in three games.\u00a0Derrick Pitts\u00a0led off the side with an infield single, moved to third on Gavin Kelly\u2019s double to left field, and after a\u00a0Trent Grindlinger\u00a0walk loaded the bases, he scored on\u00a0Tague Davis\u2019s hit-by-pitch.  In the third, the stars and stripes put together a seven-run inning on five hits, all with two outs, to take a commanding 8-0 lead. Davis started the scoring with a two-run home run to center field, bringing Nico Partida home after he drew a walk.\u00a0Kolby Branch\u00a0and\u00a0Anthony Pack Jr.\u00a0singled and walked, respectively, and\u00a0Ryker Waite\u00a0drove them both in on his triple to left field to extend the U.S. lead to 5-0.   Pitts collected his second infield hit of the game to bring Waite across home plate to tally another run, and then\u00a0Landon Hairston\u00a0belted a two-run home run to right field to round out the scoring.  Nico Partida\u00a0led off the seventh inning with a walk, and then Stein hit a pinch-hit inside-the-park home run to left field to walk off Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitchers\u00a0Wylan Moss\u00a0and\u00a0Will Sanford\u00a0combined for seven shutout innings. Moss went the first four innings and allowed just one hit while striking out six batters, and Sanford tossed the final three and gave up one hit while fanning eight batters.  Sanford\u2019s eight strikeouts are the most by a U.S. pitcher at the WCBC.  This marks the second time in the tournament that the U.S. has hit multiple home runs.  Team USA tallied 10 hits, marking the third straight game with double-digit hits.  Hairston and Pitts led all players with two hits apiece.  Davis led all players with three RBIs, while Hairston, Stein, and Waite all tallied two in the contest.  Branch, Kelly, and Pitts are all on a three-game hit streak, and Pitts leads all players with two multi-hit games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Former Indiana University Hoosier Kyle Schwarber caught cursing on hot mic during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game<\/strong>                                                      It was Kyle Schwarber being Kyle Schwarber.  The\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies&#8217; beloved designated hitter was caught using profanity on a hot mic during the third inning of the 96th All-Star Game Tuesday Night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.  Schwarber was wearing a microphone for FOX during his second at-bat of the game in the third inning, with the National League trailing 3-0. Schwarber, who was talking with FOX broadcasters Joe Davis and John Smoltz, swung at the first pitch, and the earpiece came out of his ear. Schwarber tried to locate and grab the earpiece and said, &#8220;Whatever, f&#8212; it.&#8221;  Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers then helped with the earpiece while Schwarber smiled. The interaction was\u00a0caught on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BigLeagueDigest\/status\/2077224537230373164?s=20\">.<\/a>  Schwarber finished the game 0-for-2 with a strikeout \u2014 one of the\u00a0NL&#8217;s All-Star Game record 15 strikeouts.\u00a0The National League lost the game 4-0.  The whole interview had social media buzzing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana Fever Guard Kelsey Mitchell Tabbed the Eastern Conference Player of the Week<\/strong>                                                                                                            Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, it was announced on Tuesday.  Mitchell averaged 28 points per game across four games last week, scoring 112 points total. She scored at least 25 points in all four games, which extended her streak to six straight games. It is the third longest streak in WNBA history.  Mitchell helped lead the Fever to a 3-1 week, with all four games being part of a West Coast Road trip. In the Fever\u2019s game against the Las Vegas Aces on July 12, Mitchell set a new franchise record for most consecutive double-digit scoring games, passing Tamika Catchings.   This is the fifth time Mitchell has been named the Player of the Week in her career. She joins Catchings (22) as the only Fever players to receive the honor at least five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indianapolis Indians hosting Lexie Hull Night on August 27th<\/strong>                                                                                                                                                              The Indianapolis Indians are hosting Lexie Hull Night on Thursday, August 27, celebrating the Indiana Fever guard.
