What is the nickname of the U.S. state Indiana?

Hoosier! Hoosier!! every Hoosier! in the house tonight we all gonna have a good time! u know gotta represent! where ya from!!

I was born and raised in “INDY” and always wondered where the name Hoosiers also came

I'm from Indiana, but no one has a clue where Hoosier came from.

Hoosiers is my second favorite sports movie.

Interesting information… did not know how the name started
