Why do I watch every Indiana game from start to finish? Indiana fans are among the most ardent in college basketball. After a monotonous and historic run of mediocre basketball, Hoosiers still block out two-plus hours of their lives to watch. No matter the opponent, stakes, or apparent level of futility, we still show up wearing red […]
Will Archie Miller be back at Indiana or won’t he? That’s the question of IU’s offseason, which could begin as soon as Thursday night. Indiana will try to push forward the end of the season as far as they can at this weekend’s Big 10 Tournament, but as the 10-seed it’s likely the disappointing 2021 campaign will end […]
What the hell is going on at Indiana State University’s athletic department? Basketball coach Greg Lansing is rumored to be on the verge on being fired. When I saw that yesterday, I thought I had lapsed into a bad dream. No such luck. Indiana State is exceptionally fortunate to have a coach like Lansing, whose […]
Barring a Hail Mary run through the Big 10 Tournament next week, the Indiana Hoosiers will fail to be invited to the NCAA Tournament for a fifth consecutive year. That hasn’t happened since 1972. At 7-11 with one game remaining, the Hoosiers are guaranteed to finish with a non-winning Big 10 record for the fifth straight year. […]

Carson Wentz was wrangled from the Philadelphia Eagles without ponying up a first rounder in 2021, so the Colts still have plenty of assets to utilize as they try to put together the perfect offseason and build a championship roster. Here are the Colts needs: Left […]
If Brad Stevens becomes available for Indiana University athletic director Scott Dolson to hire as basketball coach, he could pay for both Archie Miller’s buyout and Stevens’ contract in four hours by starting a Go Fund Me page. I don’t wish Stevens ill will in Boston. He is a tremendous coach and better human being. […]
Will Archie Miler be back for a fifth season as Indiana’s basketball coach? Social media is filled with terse messages from angry IU fans who have had enough. Last night, they wanted athletic director Scott Dolson to fire Archie as the team plane landed in Bloomington. That did not happen, even after his program’s latest […]
Over and over since Indiana’s bizarre and thoroughly disappointing loss to Michigan State, I have tried to write a reasonable and sober defense of Archie Miller and his Hoosiers. I mention the team’s youth, the need to avoid a death spiral for Miller’s job as he will lose the ability to recruit prior to finally being canned, […]
Timing is everything. In the NFL, as in life, winning comes to those who do the right thing at the right time. Today’s trade by the Colts to acquire quarterback Carson Wentz seems to be the right deal for the right guy to the right team for the right price. If Colts general manager Chris Ballard […]
Do you watch Indiana Basketball and wonder why it is on a never-slowing treadmill of mediocrity? Here is the answer – Indiana University is punishing its Basketball program and its fans for the success it reaped during the Bob Knight era. Three national championships, five Final Fours, 11 Big 10 titles, and a 659-242 record […]
