by Kent Sterling Last week, the Indianapolis Colts faced an opponent coming off three straight losses forced to start a backup quarterback. Tavon Austin ran wild, and the St. Louis Rams trounced the Colts 38-8. The Tennessee Titans, who have lost their last three home games and four of five overall will trot out backup […]
by Kent Sterling My allegiance is not hard to win. I’ll never sell my version of the truth to anyone, but if a coach wants me to like him personally, buying me a sandwich or beer paves a straight and smooth route to my heart. Lousiville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz is not buying me […]
by Kent Sterling The NCAA has reversed field on two decisions to ban eligibility of athletes because of media pressure, so it might make some sense to have a media member evaluate decisions on the front end of the process so they don’t appear incompetent once the rulings are questioned and reversed. The latest couple […]
by Kent Sterling For one night I can set aside cynicism about Indiana’s Charmin soft non-conference home schedule and not give a damn one way or another about whether this game is against Kentucky or LIUBrooklyn. It’s Bloomington, and very little has gone unchanged since I left, but Assembly Hall remains exactly the same – […]
by Kent Sterling Very little about qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 has made sense over the years. The only reason it continued with a similar qualifying format from year-to-year was because that was the way it had been done before. There is no punier reason for opposing change than loyalty to the status quo. Hulman […]
by Kent Sterling Matt Howard is no longer the kid he was when I met him as a sophomore at Connersville High School, but in so many ways he is exactly the same guy. After playing summer basketball on the same team as my son, Matt attended Butler, led the Bulldogs to consecutive National Championship […]
by Kent Sterling Somehow or another, every FBS program in college basketball has decided that it’s wise to schedule an endless stream of patsies at home prior to conference play. It cheats the fans, the game, and the competitive spirit that college basketball is supposed to embrace. Indiana will play LIU-Brooklyn tonight at Assembly Hall […]
by Kent Sterling It’s a nonsense election for a position on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees, and the guy who won obviously has a warped sense of humor, but the voters who pushed a button next to David Wilson’s name are the same idiots responsible for saddling America with elected officials at all […]
Indiana Football – Kevin Wilson Knows and Respects Wisconsin Plenty
by Kent Sterling Listening to Indiana University Football Coach Kevin Wilson talk about the Wisconsin Badgers today gave the impression that his next opponent is right where he would like the Hoosiers to be one day. The Badgers are consistent, well-drilled, mature, and deep. They are everything Indiana aspires to be, and Wilson knows that […]
by Kent Sterling The only good news for Colts head coach Chuck Pagano yesterday was that quarterback Andrew Luck left the game healthy after being subjected to punishment from the Rams for three series too long – THREE! The game was in the bag for the Rams after taking a 38-0 lead with 5:15 left […]
