Indiana Football – Kevin Wilson Talks About How the Running Game Is Important for the Hoosiers
by Kent Sterling Most of the principles of winning games regardless of the sport are fairly simple. You will make more open shots than contested shots; getting people out with a fastball is helped by a good off speed pitch; and the ability to pass effectively is dependent upon the ability to run – and […]
by Kent Sterling The best two hours of my week are bearing down on me like the State Fair train headed toward fried treats. The guest list is massive, and the news could keep me talking for eight hours instead of two. I’m so damned mad at the self-indulgent whining about discipline from LSU football […]
by Kent Sterling A person’s word is his bond, but there is no way for a 14 year-old to have the vaguest clue what he is promising when he commits to attend a university and play basketball. There are those who will say that coaches can’t have any idea what kind of player an eighth […]

by Kent Sterling It wasn’t hard to listen to Indiana University Football Coach Kevin Wilson, and figure out what he likes about his third team while in Bloomington. The words “excited”, “energy”, and “hard-working” were used so often that Wilson sounded like President George H.W. Bush talking about his “thousand points of light” and Al […]
by Kent Sterling Maybe Indiana University Basketball Coach Tom Crean has a better agent. That’s the beginning and end of my list as to why he should be paid $710,000 more per year than Michigan coach John Beilein. Michigan announced yesterday that Beilein had signed an extension that will keep him in Ann Arbor through […]
by Kent Sterling The one player who will intrigue college coaches and fans at the NY2LA Super Jam in north suburban Milwaukee more than any other is Dream Vision’s Stephen Zimmerman, a seven-footer from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman.
