If you missed zero or one, you are eligible for the Sagamore of the Wabash award (maybe someday!); if you missed two, three or four, you are an official Hoosier “favorite son”; if you missed five, six or seven, you should spend more time at the Indiana State Fair next year; and if you missed eight or more, perhaps you should consider moving to Ohio. (Just kidding!)
