Many people ask me, "What is a Hoosier?" I never really know what to say. Sure, I learned the history behind the word in second grade, but I don't think that's really what people are asking.

Some of the guys at the Indianapolis Star tried to answer the question, "What makes a Hoosier, a Hoosier?" this week. I think they did a pretty good job. They mention the progressiveness of Unigov, the fact that we are a branch-plant state, and that we are becoming more racially diverse.

And while I'm on the topic of Indiana, it was a good weekend for Indiana sports:

Indiana University clinched their 6th NCAA soccer championship.

In an Indiana-school v. Indiana-school battle, IU defeated Butler on Saturday. (Sorry Butler Fans, someone had to lose that one). The Hoosiers now get the week off to prepare for Kentucky next Saturday. I'm gonna be there to cheer the Hoosiers on to victory. Yeah, I know it's a long-shot, but a girl can dream...

The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Atlanta Falcons today to clinch a playoff berth.

The Pacers unfortunately lost to the Bulls, but are having a really good season, overall.

And finally, Purdue and Notre Dame won their basketball games this weekend.
