Indiana coach Archie Miller said some interesting things last night after Indiana lost in overtime to Illinois. He knows what’s on the line, but appears not to be willing to do what is necessary to motivate a consistent effort from the Hoosiers. For all four of his seasons as Tom Crean’s replacement, Miller has […]
High school basketball coaches need to be educators in word and deed. When they fail to behave in a way that demonstrates an understanding of that critical role in the development of young men and women, they should be immediately replaced. That happened yesterday at Lighthouse Academy in Gary, where basketball coach Nick Moore was fired for throwing […]
Kyle Schwarber was allowed to leave the Cubs via free agency, and now the Cubs will replace him with a guy so statistically similar in virtually every way, it’s eerie. Look at the stats: Here is Schwarber from Baseball-reference.com: Here is Pederson: Even without looking at baseball-reference.com this morning when I saw the […]
The first part of Colts general manager Chris Ballard’s process was easy. Take a roster that was a wreck and methodically acquire upgrades each year through the draft. Andrew Luck‘s sudden retirement was a blow to the Colts immediate chances to win, but provided Ballard a little more cover and time. Fans retired their expectations […]
Sane people who know anything about football are picking the Bills to beat the Colts Saturday. Even die hard Colts fans understand the talent gap between the two teams. Being right about the Colts inability to compete with the Bills Saturday afternoon will give me no joy. If I’m wrong and somehow the Colts can […]
Regardless of the need to play the NCAA Tournament in a bubblicious atmosphere due to COVID concerns, bringing the entire event to Indiana is a great move. Scattered site hosting of sub-regionals, regionals, and the Final Four has always bee weird. Indiana goes to Boise while Michigan State travels to Spokane and Gonzaga flies to Buffalo has always […]
When it comes to Indiana Basketball, there is a problem that is impossible to overlook any longer. It’s not Archie Miller, the coach of this group that nearly lost to a very mediocre Penn State team in overtime Wednesday. It’s not Rob Phinisee, Al Durham, or Trayce Jackson-Davis – players who are certainly not trying […]
The Indiana Pacers preseason starts in tomorrow night, and games will be carried on Fox Sports Indiana. If your content provider does not carry FS Indiana, you will not see Pacers games. That caused me a problem that I corrected Wednesday. I was a subscriber to Disney-owned Hulu Live TV, but the agreement they had […]
Some mornings, news breaks that needs to be checked, re-checked, confirmed, and then I’m still not sure it’s true because it just doesn’t compute. Len Kasper bolting from his gig as the Chicago Cubs TV play-by-play guy to do radio for the White Sox qualifies. Kasper has been a companion to Cubs fans for 16 seasons […]
Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball are engaged in a rare tug of war for the hearts and minds of Hoosiers everywhere, and Archie Miller’s team is losing to Tom Allen. If you needed any confirmation that 2020 is one of the strangest years ever, that should suffice. Indiana Basketball gets rolling tomorrow night against Tennessee […]
