by Bert Beiswanger As slow as the sports calendar is this time of year, it can be pretty hard to be entertained by anything sports-related. Sure the IZOD IndyCar Series race in Iowa last Saturday was one of the best races I’ve ever seen, hands down. But beyond that, I’m tired of hearing and reading [...]
by Kent Sterling Nothing like a 30 year-old Sports Illustrated expose’ by John Underwood to make me feel like the problems associated with big money college athletics are so deeply woven into the fabric of the NCAA that they can never be fixed. One of the best parts of preparing to move is going through [...]
by Jeff Showalter I’m a fat guy. I know it. I have done a crappy job working on it. I work out, during this unemployment period of my life, more then I usually do, but I need to drop 50 pounds. If I could figure out the secret of going to sleep on an empty [...]
by Kent Sterling Just as I put the finishing touches on a fine post extolling the virtues of Kawhi Leonard as the 15th overall pick to the Indiana Pacers, ESPN’s Ric Bucher reports that Larry Bird has dealt him to the San Antonio Spurs for George Hill – a kid who played both his high [...]

Eight Big Ten wins in three years, and nary a trip to the postseason since Kelvin Sampson destroyed the program with his unique combination of hubris, amorality, and stupidity. Tom Crean has built the Hoosiers from the ground up – within [...]
by Steve Hufford Okay let me state this clearly before anyone gets the wrong impression. I LOVE Bobby Knight. I LOVE everything he stands for and his accomplishments at IU. If I had been in power in 2006 & 2008 I would have brought him back to coach my beloved Hoosiers. I think he [...]
by Kent Sterling There was no 80 today – no replay of the blown lead at Augusta. To lead by four as he went off the first on the day two months ago and wind up losing by 10 would reduce some golfers to question their choice of profession. Rory McIlroy seems to be a [...]
by Jeff Showalter IU men’s basketball coach Tom Crean has done a very good job recruiting future talent into the fold for the next four years. McDonald’s All-American Cody Zeller leads this years class and 2012′s class is currently listed as the number one class in the USA by Rivals.com. However, Crean landed his biggest [...]
by Kent Sterling Another magnificent two hours of radio on tap Saturday morning from 9a-11a as Fox 59′s Chris Hagan and I get after it for a lively two hours of talking to Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Polian and Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter. Polian will talk about the lockout and what the Colts are [...]
