Weekend after weekend, we sit in front of the TV for hours and hours watching sports. How fortunate are we in central Indiana that there is so much drama ahead this long holiday weekend? The Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers, Boilermakers, Bulldogs, Fuel, Cardinals, Jaguars, and all the great high school basketball teams in the area thrill and […]
Whether or not the men and women who play or coach our favorite teams, everyone deserves a stocking stuffer that can bring a better 2016. Here are the top 10 Christmas wishes for those working in Indiana sports with the greatest needs: 1 – A higher draft pick for Colts GM Ryan Grigson. After three […]
Indiana University’s basketball program is not where anyone wants it to be – not fans, not coaches, not administrators, and not players. You can tell coaches aren’t happy with where Indiana is in the present because they spend a lot of time and effort selling everyone on a future filled with accomplishment and success. […]

Indiana, Purdue, Butler, and IUPUI won. The Pacers and Colts lost. And I played on an untalented but gritty team in a three-on-three driveway event. Throw some high school hoops into the mix, and there was plenty of good, bad, and a little creepy over the weekend. Here is a list of my best and […]

Unfortunately for some of their opponents, Morehead State coach Sean Woods wasn’t paying attention when […]
[Ed. Note – These are not rankings, and since their original publication early this morning I have removed the numbers to alleviate any confusion. Seems several of the people listed were quite sensitive as to where they fell on the list. I literally drew their names out of a hat to determine the order. There […]
