How would the characters of the Middle react to Indiana winning a national championship?
Mike: Would quietly enjoy Indiana football finally being elite after decades of heartbreak and humiliation.
Frankie: Would become the biggest Hoosiers and Curt Cignetti fan overnight, treating the championship like the greatest moment of her life.
Axl: Would act like Indiana winning the national championship was inevitable and insist he saw it coming before anyone else.
Sue: Would develop a huge crush on Fernando Mendoza and celebrate the championship like there was no tomorrow.
Brick: Would recite obscure facts about Indiana University, Hoosier football history, and somehow work the Indiana University Library into every conversation.
Wonder if these portrayals would be accurate and how you would see other characters or the Hecks responding. Shame that there is little chance for a sequel like Malcolm and the Middle because it would be interesting seeing the adult Hecks react to this.
