Well since I've had an influx of Hoosier fans. Let me do an introduction. First congratulations on winning the national championship. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the beatdowns inflicted on Alabama and Ohio State. This maybe the first time many of you have interacted with fans/alums of an HBCU especially in football. We do have a history. In 1988 we played in the NCAA Mens Soccer Championship game, where current ESPN FC host Shaka Hislop was our goalie, losing by a score of 1-0 We later played at Bloomington in 89 losing again 1-0. We've met three times in mens basketball last meeting in 2017. This is our first time meeting in football. I'm sure you've used the interwebs to look up Howard Bison football. Here is a brief history of who we are: HOWARD FOOTBALL | THEN & NOW Howard University, a private historically Black research university in Washington, D.C., was founded in 1867. Howard football began in 1893 under Charles Cook and became part of the foundation of Black college athletics. Howard was a founding member of the CIAA in 1912 and later a founding member of the MEAC in 1970, where the Bison compete today. The program has a history stretching more than 130 years, including Black College National Championships and generations of players and coaches who helped shape HBCU football. 🦬🔵🔴 THE RECENT ERA: Larry Scott took over in 2020 and helped return Howard to prominence, leading the Bison to back-to-back MEAC championships and a Celebration Bowl appearance before departing for Auburn following the 2025 season. In January 2026, Howard brought one of its own home, naming former All-American Bison quarterback Ted White (HU ’98) head coach. White, a former MEAC and Black College Football Player of the Year with more than two decades of coaching experience, now leads the next chapter of one of HBCU football’s historic programs. The MEAC is our current conference since 1970. We have six football schools. Long story that I'm too pissed off to go into. Thus we have to seek out an extraordinary amount of out of conference games.Which lead Howard being on Indiana's schedule for this season. We are an FCS program but play FBS programs on a yearly basis. Rarely back to back like this season. The reasons are obvious.We interact with mostly HBCU football alums but not exclusive its just our orbit. Again Bison Nation look forward to playing the reigning national champions at their place this weekend and interacting on this app before and during the broadcast.
