Troy Aikman took a shot at the Indiana Hoosiers football program during Monday Night Football on October 3, 2023. During the Cowboys’ final touchdown drive of the game, tight end Peyton Hendershot picked up a 10-yard gain to move Dallas to the Giants’ 27-yard line. This play prompted a shoutout from ESPN play-by-play announcer Joe Buck.
Buck: “Making the Indiana Hoosiers football program proud.”
Buck’s comment set Aikman up for a major burn towards the tight end’s alma mater.
Aikman: “It doesn’t take much, does it?”
Aikman quickly realized his comment was uncalled for:
Aikman: “That’s not fair, I’m sorry.”
The Hoosiers are currently 3–1 on the season, are coming off their first loss of the year against Cincinnati on Saturday. They rank fourth in the Big Ten East standings.
Aikman’s comment was met with a lot of backlash on social media, with many people criticizing him for being disrespectful to the Indiana Hoosiers football program and its fans. Some people even called for Aikman to be fired from his job as a commentator.
Aikman later apologized for his comment, but the damage had already been done. His comment was a reminder of the importance of being respectful to others, even if you disagree with them.
