by Jeff Showalter I am fortunate to have been explained to the conversation between Pacers president Larry Bird and Pacers head coach Jim O’Brien following the season opening loss to San Antonio. Bird- Jim, play Hansbrough or you won’t be around for game 2. O’Brien- Larry, Tyler doesn’t know the offense well enough. Bird- Then [...]
by Kent Sterling Fans get frustrated. Players get angry. Coaches get ready for next week. And the athletic director continues to evaluate against goals. The fans have just about had it up to here, as could be seen by a crowd that was lacking both size and passion. They are ready for some measure of [...]
by Kent Sterling As nice as it is to watch the Colts win and Indiana basketball improve, it’s better to watch my wife achieve a goal that she has worked toward for three months. She and friend Amber Bunnell decided in July that they would train to run a five-mile race, and they chose the [...]
by Kent Sterling Okay, the video cut together like a movie preview is silly, but so is the annual scrimmage between the Cream and Crimson. Fans try to figure out who can play and who can’t, and whether the Hoosiers is going to be better this year. The players have a good time, and get [...]
by Eddie White Since 1982 I have been to South Bend about a million times in one form or another. Full time employee. Fan. Member of the media. Attending graduations, funerals, football games, basketball games, visits to see friends, speaking engagements, awards dinners, play golf, etc. Point is, I’ve been there a lot. For a lot of reasons. I love [...]

by Kent Sterling We’ll get a look at how good Indiana is at playing itself tonight. The Hoosiers are going to be better this year, but we aren’t going to get any indication of how much better for at least another month. There are five things fans in attendance should look for from the 2010-2011 [...]
by Justin Whitaker With six teams on a bye this week, let’s take a look into Week 8 of the NFL fantasy season. The Studs Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis Colts versus Houston Texans We have seen that Peyton can still put up huge numbers even without his biggest weapons. A primetime game, after a bye [...]
by Kent Sterling Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. That’s the way life works. That is what happened to Declan Sullivan as he filmed practice on a windy Wednesday when the 60-foot scissor lift he was using to film Notre Dame’s football practice. People are looking to lay blame at someone’s feet, and Notre [...]
by Kent Sterling The recruiting landscape for basketball is clouded by the lack of supervision for kids who should have lots of it, but that isn’t the fault of the July evaluation period or any other calendar driven weakness. It’s caused in large part by college basketball being used as a minor league by the [...]
