And Indiana is the perfect place for a do or die attitude. While the rest of us agonize over John Rocker's foul attitudes, Indiana is home to people like Bobby Knight, who sees it as his job to strangle teenagers in order to win basketball games. Indiana legends include the Jackson 5's pere, Joe Jackson, who literally beat his own kids into the perfect pop group, or David Letterman and John Cougar-Mellencamp, whose The Show Is My Life overdrive has kept them both lonely, angry men. Even Notre Dame's "Fightin' Irish" mascot looks like a little bad ass. If the rest of the sporting world has moved on, well, jeez, Indianans don't even bother with daylight savings time, so what do they care?
