Indiana football is national champion, and Tricia Whitaker and Sydney Parrish are still trying to process it.

In this emotional, joyful, and unfiltered episode of Sideline Stories, Tricia and Sydney look back on the moments that defined Indiana’s historic championship run — from the game-sealing interception, to Fernando Mendoza’s fearless fourth-down call, to the scenes on Kirkwood and inside Hard Rock Stadium.

They share personal stories from the stands, the aftermath in Miami, broken phones, tears, disbelief, and what this title means for Bloomington, IU fans everywhere, and everyone who stayed through the hard years. They also reflect on the leadership of Curt Cignetti, the toughness of Fernando Mendoza, and the long-arc vision of Scott Dolson.

This episode isn’t analysis — it’s memory-making.
And it’s one every Hoosier will want to revisit.
