By Amber Spruill There are plenty of games around the country to get you fired up for college football this weekend, but four of the most prestigious college football programs will battle in the Midwest on Saturday. Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, and Penn State will account for two of the Big Ten games; pitting the [...]
by John Miller Virginia’s mascot, CavMan To put it nicely, the Kevin Wilson era got off to a rocky start last Saturday. The Hoosiers (0-1, 0-0) were embarrassed at Lucas Oil Stadium by in state opponent Ball State 27-20. Indiana was dominated around the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and after [...]
By Austin Miller Football is finally back…..well sort of. Its hard to believe that it has been just over seven months since the Packers concluded the NFL season by beating the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV (that’s 45 for those not fluent in roman mathematics). Tonights game is more of an appetizer for the opening [...]
by Kyle Miller For 208 straight games the Indianapolis danced to the beat of Peyton Manning’s tune, but Sunday they will need to find their own rhythm. The Colts have said all the right things. “Next man up” is the saying the Colts have built their program around, but never has it been applied to 18. He’s [...]
by Kyle Miller Indiana University men’s basketball released its 2011-2012 schedule Wednesday afternoon, and as expected the nonconference schedule was beefed up significantly. Last year I showed my homeristic views when I predicted the Hoosiers to compile 11 wins with their nonconference – IU won a total of 12 games all of last year. How [...]

That didn’t happen because Manning likes to take the occasional Sunday off. So while the NFL intelligencia is preening on TV squawking about how Manning is [...]
by Kyle Miller There is no quick remedy for changing the negative morale that has engulfed Indiana football for decades now. Coach Kevin Wilson is being asked to cure mononucleosis with Pepto-Bismol, and that degree of expectation is unfair to any first-year coach, especially in Bloomington. As I walked into Lucas Oil on Saturday, my [...]
by Kent Sterling The Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon that raised well over $1-billion over the years to fund the search for a cure for a dreaded disease of Muscular Dystrophy affecting thousands of kids was known for schlocky acts, firemen with boots filled with coins, and the best known comic actor who was never [...]
by John Miller Yesterday was the final day to trim NFL rosters down to the normal 53-man size. There are always some surprises and always some head scratchers, and, well, the Colts had some of both. Below were the final players cut. Offense: QB- Dan Orlovsky, RB- Javarris James, WR- Taj Smith, WR- Chris Brooks, WR- [...]
by Kyle Miller Edward Wright-Baker and Caleb TerBush will start Saturday for Indiana and Purdue, respectively, and the Colts will start, well, we all know what that deal is. Indiana held an open competition; Purdue established a quarterback by process of elimination and the Colts are on a waitlist. Indiana The quarterback competition at Indiana [...]
