Imagine you’re a kid growing up steps from the IU campus, strolling inside The Fieldhouse to rebound for the likes of Archie Dees & Walt Bellamy. As an undergrad, you're in the crowd as Big George McGinnis and Steve Downing take the court. Later, after moving out to pursue your dreams in Hollywood, you decide at the last moment to attend the 1981 title game in Philly, and suddenly find yourself flying back to Bloomington with the team to celebrate.

Still want more? Well, what if you then go ahead and write & produce the greatest sports movie of all-time, bouncing between Jack Nicholson, Gene Hackman and Burt Reynolds to play your leading man, and after it becomes an instant classic you are personally invited by Robert Montgomery Knight to travel on team road trips whenever you want?

While this is pure, absurdist fantasy for we mere mortals, it is in fact the life & times of Angelo Pizzo. While many recognize him as the author of of the greatest sports movie of all-time, Hoosiers, few understand just how much of a Hoosier he really is... until now!

And once you listen to what happened the night of the 1987 championship game, you will understand there is no one alive more dedicated to the Indiana Hoosiers than Angelo Pizzo.
