Mr. SHREVE. Mr. Speaker, for the first time in my life, Indiana University has won the Big Ten football championship outright, beating formerly number one Ohio State 13-10.

The pundits said Ohio State brought the third-most talented roster in the country. Indiana was ranked 72 at the start of the season, but our Hoosiers refused to be defined by those numbers. They responded with discipline, toughness, and a belief in one another that reshaped Indiana football.

This championship is a testament to the student-athletes who committed to the rebuild, the staff who kept driving, and our Hoosier fans, who stayed loyal for generations, awaiting this moment.

Mr. Speaker, as a former chairman of IU's Alumni Association and on behalf of 805,000 living IU alumni, we celebrate this historic achievement for our university. Congratulations to Coach Cignetti and our Hoosiers for bringing the Big Ten title home.

Now on to the Rose Bowl.
