by Kent Sterling 2014 has not been a good year for Indiana University head basketball coach Tom Crean – yet. Four players arrested/cited, two suspended because of multiple dirty drug tests, one player hospitalization because of an incident that fractured Devin Davis’s skull, a 17-15 record that result in a postseason tournament shutout, and most […]
by Kent Sterling With change at the top, you know what happens – a guaranteed additional two years of rebuild-driven wretchedness. The football programs at Indiana and Purdue have seen that misery up close for more than 30 years, minus the Bill Mallory and Joe Tiller eras in Bloomington and West Lafayette. As athletic directors […]
by Kent Sterling After watching Kentucky jump out to a 65-11 lead over Montana State and take a 55-12 halftime lead last night against Texas-Arlington, I thought about the poor mopes in Big Blue Nation who paid to attend the games at Rupp Arena. The players for both sides wasted their time in those romps, […]
by Kent Sterling There was no chance – none – that Montana State would be able to compete with Kentucky, much less beat them. After destroying #5 Kansas 72-40, holding the once proud Jayhawks to three second half field goals and a measly four assists for the entire game, Montana State was only going to […]
by Kent Sterling People took to Twitter early in the second half of what would become a blowout win for the Indianapolis Colts to taunt for predicting an easy win for the Horseshoes on my radio show (weekdays 3p-6p – CBS Sports 1430). They blamed me for jinxing the thing by being so confident in […]
by Kent Sterling Purdue beating Grambling State is hardly big news. There is no way that Grambling State should ever be able to compete with the Boilermakers. It was the way Purdue won the game that’s impressive. After a first half where they led 37-15, Purdue backed it up with a 45-15 half. That showed […]
by Kent Sterling Really smart people continue to treat the media like the enemy rather than making the small effort necessary to befriend and use it to their advantage. Dan Jenkins is a sportswriter at the end of a long career, and he posted a fake (supposedly satirical) interview with Tiger Woods. I haven’t read […]
by Kent Sterling Discipline is an interesting concept. Many see it as the introduction of fear serving as a consequence for a bad act. Others see it as the dynamic of holding ourselves accountable for our own behavior. Some just get pissed off and hit kids with sticks. Adrian Peterson hit his four year-old son […]
by Kent Sterling Mike Davis’ return to Assembly Hall last night as Indiana defeated his Texas Southern team piqued my curiosity about his separation from Indiana University in 2006, and what has changed in Bloomington as a result. I was no fan of Davis. He seemed unsure of his ability to lead, and spoke his […]
by Kent Sterling When the Colts lost a game where – again – virtually everyone but safety Mike Adams failed to show up on the defensive side of the football, I decided it would be a lot more fun to write about the Indiana Hoosiers welcoming Mike Davis back to Assembly Hall than to regurgitate […]
