by Kent Sterling [ed. note: With the recent firings of Syracuse basketball assistant Bernie Fine and Penn State legend Joe Paterno associated with alleged child molestation charges, it's hard to gin up a lot of moral outrage against Kentucky coach John Calipari. As the sub-basement of morality of college sports has been dredged, Cal looks [...]
by Kyle Miller IU students are having their loyalty questioned. The attendance in the student section for Monday’s game against Stetson was sparse at best, I agree, but why all the hate? Indiana basketball reporters, writers and even long-time play-by-play broadcaster Don Fischer had something to say on the matter. Fischer on 1070 The Fan [...]
by Kent Sterling The narrative in sports is constantly evolving, and that’s what makes it so consistently fun to think about. The minute the Cardinals won Game Seven of the World Series, talk began to percolate about whether Albert Pujols would come back to the team. Then Tony LaRussa retired, and the Cubs hired Theo. [...]
by John Miller The Indiana Hoosiers (1-2, 0-0) are heading out of state for the first time this season to battle the North Texas Mean Green (0-3, 0-1) at the new Apogee Stadium. Indiana is coming off their first win of the Kevin Wilson era and is looking to build momentum heading into conference play next week. The Hoosier offense really clicked last [...]
by John Miller The Hoosiers (0-2, 0-0) look to recover from last week’s heartbreaking loss to Virginia by welcoming FCS opponent South Carolina State (1-1) to The Rock. Indiana showed great determination and no quit against Virginia by scoring 28 unanswered points to take an eight point lead late into the game. Unfortunately, as Hoosier [...]
by Kyle Miller Let’s just be honest, Indiana is a basketball school, no matter how bad things may seem at Assembly Hall. I played one football season when I was in seventh grade, whereas I played basketball for 14 years. If I know anything about something, it’s basketball. As of today, the number one 2012 basketball [...]
by Kyle Miller U.S. News released its national college rankings Monday and most notably Indiana University finished 13 spots behind Purdue University. Harvard and Princeton tied for the number one spot followed by Yale and Columbia, respectively. These rankings place universities in their rightful position based on three criterions: freshman retention, graduation rates and strength [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
