by Kent Sterling For all the people headed to Bloomington or West Lafayette tomorrow for a great day of college football, Chris Hagan and I have put together a spectacular show from 9a-11a on 1070 the Fan and 107.5 FM in Indianapolis. For those outside of central Indiana, listen live at 1070thefan.com. Click here to […]
by Bert Beiswanger Bowling Green is a huge game for Indiana football and coach Kevin Wilson. Doesn’t that sound odd? Well, coming off the defeat at home to the Navy Midshipmen last week, it’s the truth. Despite the fact the Falcons come to Bloomington Saturday (Big Ten Network, Noon) as one of the best teams […]
by Kent Sterling Of all the Hoosiers who spoke to the media after last Saturday’s 41-35 loss to Navy, none seemed more disconsolate than tight end Ted Bolser. Not terribly concerned with his own personal achievements, it seems, as he pulled down two passes for touchdowns for the second consecutive week and earned John Mackey […]
by Kent Sterling College students are indestructible and stupid. That was true in the 19th century, and Sports Illustrated felt compelled to publish an account about how it was also true with the Oklahoma State University football program in the 2000s. What the point is, I don’t know. When I was a freshman at Indiana […]

I had an interesting conversation with ESPN’s Jason Whitlock a couple of years ago about whether he, or anyone, really […]
by Kent Sterling What the hell else is there to listen to on local sportstalk in Indianapolis than “Ahead of the Curve” with Fox 59’s Chris Hagan and me? Nothing. No station thinks enough of you to produce a local show. It would be easy for Chris and I to breeze through the two hours […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana fans have long looked down their noses at their state university neighbors to the north, and apparently the shoe companies that negotiate apparel deals feel the same way. The Portland Business Journal recently filed public records requests with every FBS school for their shoe and apparel contracts, and the deal Indiana […]
by Kent Sterling Well, that was different. Indiana has never piled up that many points in the history of Memorial Stadium, and had a legitimate chance to ring up Indiana State for the most points ever scored by an Indiana team. Class prevailed, and IU tooknees inside the Indiana State 10 with under 3:00 to […]
by Kent Sterling Memorial Stadium looks a little bit different. The north end zone has been closed, and I’m sitting on the other side of the bleachers now, all the way up in the press box I used to find so mysterious. But everything is so familiar it feels like yesterday that I was part […]
by Kent Sterling Railing about the preseason schedule of whatever team you back is as much a part of the August and September lives of major conference basketball fans as watching them during November and December, but I’m not doing it. Criticizing a program for only sporadically challenging itself with NCAA Tournament bound competition is […]
