I never got to meet Terry Hoeppner and that is my loss.
My only contact of the former football coach at Indiana and Miami was listening to him in various interviews on sports talk shows. Despite such a limited exposure to the man, one could tell this guy is one of the good ones.
His continued optimism, even in the face of terminal brain cancer made this guy one of the rarest of rare individuals.
Many times I like to place people in one of two categories, you're either a contributor or you are a consumer. Hoeppner was a contributor beyond reproach and the world will miss him.
