by Kent Sterling Tonight two teams other than Indiana University will play for the National Championship, but this afternoon was a perfect time to relive some of the moments and people who have made the Indiana Basketball program unique in its purity and success. There was a time when March came with an air of […]
There was a time when I thought education ended with graduating from college. Now I’m sure it doesn’t begin until long after. Learning about life requires living life, and there isn’t a professor who can help any of us with that. I’m not a huge fan of writing about myself, but every once in a […]
by Kent Sterling It sucks that Major League Baseball mandated that the Cubs opened the 2013 season on the road because Cubs fans will not get to see a .500 team at Wrigley Field for another entire year. The Cubs are terrible, and they know it. There are three potentially dynamic players on their roster […]
by Kent Sterling After two-and-a-half weeks of craziness, the matchup between Louisville and Michigan is hardly an upset. Louisville was the overall top seed, and Michigan was a millimeter away from a putback dropping to tie Indiana for the regular season Ben Ten Championship. Tonight at 9:23p, the Cardinals and Wolverines will play 40 minutes […]
by Kent Sterling The best action in college hoops has been off the court with some firings, hirings, and the whole Rutgers mess, but today let’s hope that the backroom dealmaking and administrative stupidity can take a back seat to what really matters – the kids on the floor who are living their dreams.

Anyone who has spent a lot of time talking to publicly compensated bureaucrats watched Barchi with […]
by Kent Sterling Last night, my wife and I brought our son Ryan to see Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. We did it because he needs to see a man who truly enjoys his job. There are very few times in life that we get to […]
by Kent Sterling St. Louis is a very underrated town when it comes to fun. Before living here for almost two years, I had almost never visited since I was a kid. It didn’t take long to learn I made a mistake almost every time I opted no to make the 3 1/2 hour drive […]
by Kent Sterling NCAA chief Mark Emmert is frustrated, and that was clear in the defiant tone at his press conference yesterday. He has good reason to be frustrated. The problems are everywhere, and the solutions are impossible to enact. That will turn a guy who had high hopes when reporting to Indianapolis for duty […]
by Kent Sterling The goal for any administrator is to silence the chants for someone’s head before their names are in being shouted, and Rutgers president Robert Barchi started to hear his name a little too often for his liking. So Tim Parnetti is a goner, and he was always going to be a goner. […]
