Indiana’s Blackmon lifts Hoosiers – and then lifts Penn State fans with shush
January 19, 2017

James Blackmon Jr. hit a hell of a shot last night to save the Hoosiers bacon after they allowed Penn State to erase a 13-point deficit in the last five minutes of the game. Then he went “Shhhh!” I tweeted about it. Didn’t like it. Most agreed, some didn’t, and those who didn’t reminded […]

So there I stand at Drake’s on 82nd Street in Indianapolis picking up some carry out, and the Indiana game against Penn State starts. A guy I met because he listens to my radio show asks, “Are you sticking around for the Indiana game?” “Nope, just picking up some food,” I tell him. As I […]

The best I can muster is “inept.” Yogi Ferrell made Indiana’s final field goal of the game with 5:16 left, and the Hoosiers turned the ball […]

January 7, 2014

by Kent Sterling I saw a TV spot for the Big Ten Network this morning that listed “elite coaches” as part of the magic of its basketball coverage. Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan, Michigan’s Jim Beilein, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, and Ohio State’s Thad Matta made the cut. Tom Crean, Matt Painter, Fran McCaffery, John Groce, Chris […]

Indiana Football – Kevin Wilson’s Vision Validated as Hoosiers Trounce Penn State 44-24
October 5, 2013

by Kent Sterling For almost three years, Indiana football coach Kevin Wilson has been telling fans, players, alums, boosters, and media about his methodology in building a winning tradition at a place that hasn’t had much of one since Bo McMillan prowled the sidelines of old 10th Street Stadium. There was a brief era of […]
