Coaches will always tell you that victory favors the team making the fewer mistakes. In other words, screw ups are more likely to determine the winner of a game that highlight reel plays. Such was the case yesterday in Houston. The Colts appeared to be the better team throughout their win against the Texans, but […]
Some mornings, news breaks that needs to be checked, re-checked, confirmed, and then I’m still not sure it’s true because it just doesn’t compute. Len Kasper bolting from his gig as the Chicago Cubs TV play-by-play guy to do radio for the White Sox qualifies. Kasper has been a companion to Cubs fans for 16 seasons […]
There is nothing like a quick three games in three days against power conference competition to take the early December temperature of a college basketball team, and that check-up at the Maui Invitational is complete for the Indiana Hoosiers. Like all teams, there are ways in which Indiana has shown growth over last year’s unit, and […]

Because it has been a long time in a weird year, you might need a refresher course in Indiana’s Basketball program. Here […]
Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball are engaged in a rare tug of war for the hearts and minds of Hoosiers everywhere, and Archie Miller’s team is losing to Tom Allen. If you needed any confirmation that 2020 is one of the strangest years ever, that should suffice. Indiana Basketball gets rolling tomorrow night against Tennessee […]
Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus takes more undeserved blows than Galveston and New Orleans during hurricane season. The Colts defense is ranked comfortably among the NFL’s top five. Colts owner Jim Irsay called Eberflus’s crew “the best Colts defense since 1995.” They are the primary reason for the AFC South leading 7-3 record. But fans are furious Eberflus doesn’t […]
