These picks are for entertainment purposes only. ESPN and CBS have excellent previews as well. For non-entertainment sports insight and activation, visit Sports Betting Dime. Indiana has […]
by Kent Sterling Once the Big Ten expanded beyond 10 teams, the opportunity for a true round robin vanished. Now with 14 teams competing next season, the scheduling gets even murkier. Every team will play all other team at least once, but the home and homes will be reduced to five in order to hit […]
by Kent Sterling Northwestern beat Wisconsin – the 14th ranked team in the country – last night in Madison. Penn State went to Columbus last night and beat Ohio State in overtime to drop the #23 Buckeyes to ninth place in the conference race.

It uses the “This Is Indiana” as the author is a wordsmith. Melody is not his trade (hard to go a […]
Another Day, Another Video Produced by Untalented But Earnest White People

We can’t tamper with the mail, trespass on one another’s lawns, make too much noise, pour paint down a storm drain, ride a bike faster than 15 mph on the Monon Trail, or carry a non-transparent bag […]
Purdue Must Make Its “You Oughta Be Proud” Video Public Again
