by Kent Sterling Everyone I knew as a student at Indiana University looked forward to each semester’s last final exam like it was Christmas, the Fourth of July, and New Years Eve rolled into one momentously joyous event. Except for me. I dreaded it. That last final meant my opportunities to rescue a mediocre semester […]
by Kent Sterling Whatever football can be squeezed from running back Frank Gore, outside linebacker Trent Cole, defensive lineman Kendall Langford, and just maybe wide receiver Andre Johnson, the Indianapolis Colts hopes it puts them over the hump in the effort to climb past the New England Patriots for supremacy in the AFC – and […]
by Kent Sterling Some mistakes you never stop paying for. In 2000, Bob Knight was fired by Indiana University for being a jerk. There was all that nonsense about Kent Harvey greeting Knight by his last name, and Knight typically exploding, but it was the incredible tonnage of bizarre idiocy in and around Assembly Hall […]
by Kent Sterling Tom Crean and his Indiana Hoosiers team deserve the opportunity to complete the full season before anyone, including athletic director Fred Grass, define the team’s body of work as a failure – or a success.

I spent the majority of my radio […]
by Bert Beiswanger Indiana’s 14 point dismantling by Iowa Tuesday night leaves the Hoosiers in a not so satisfactory position heading into tournament time. Beat Michigan State this weekend or… Even if Indiana can beat Michigan State, it’s one heck of a bind the Hoosiers have put themselves in. While a segment of Hoosier Nation […]
by Kent Sterling If Indiana is both the Crossroads of America and the home of basketball, then Assembly Hall is the home of the Crossroads of college basketball. For the fourth time in 15 years, one of the steadiest programs in the history of the game is in turmoil, and unless a major pivot is […]
by Kent Sterling Smart people in and around college basketball are proposing corrections to the lack of offense that is making college basketball less like a nonstop episode of Sportscenter and more like never-ending root canal. Last night, a team that will be named a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament scored a total of […]
by Kent Sterling Haters gonna hate, and Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has his share of haters because of his aversion to talking to the media. What he said over the weekend to a Turkish TV network in his first meaningful comments about the controversial play call that led to a game-deciding interception in […]
