by Kyle Miller Is it bad to consider the weekend not over until after Monday Night Football? Since my weekend is dominated by my addiction to fantasy football, I see nothing wrong with a three day weekend, every weekend. What a great time of the year. College basketball is heating up as conference play approaches, [...]
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 Kyle Miller It took me awhile to gather my thoughts on Indiana basketball after the Butler game, but here’s what I saw. It certainly wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t pretty, poetic or even fun to watch, but Indiana’s win last night was its biggest in four years under Tom Crean. Let’s be honest, upsetting Pittsburgh [...]
by Kyle Miller The game was tied only twice, once at 0-0 and then again at 5-5, but other than that IU led visiting University of Indianapolis the entire game. The Hoosiers went on to defeat the Greyhounds 90-72 in their only exhibition game at Assembly Hall. For an exhibition game, the Hoosiers looked solid, [...]
by Kyle Miller So, this is how Detroit fans felt in 2008 and 2009, and how Carolina fans felt just last year. Heading into each week facing the mere realization that just being competitive constitutes as a moral victory. The Colts now face this reality, as they are undoubtedly the worst team in the National [...]
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 Kyle Miller For 208 straight games the Indianapolis danced to the beat of Peyton Manning’s tune, but Sunday they will need to find their own rhythm. The Colts have said all the right things. “Next man up” is the saying the Colts have built their program around, but never has it been applied to 18. He’s [...]
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 [...]
