by Bert Beiswanger This past week has churned up some contrasting thoughts on two college basketball programs I’ve followed closely for years, Florida and Indiana. Florida is playing tonight for a chance to make its fourth straight Elite Eight appearance (and sixth in nine years), and Gators coach Billy Donovan is attempting to coach in […]
by Kent Sterling After this season, whatever the outcome, the Indiana Pacers will face a decision – offer Lance Stephenson a big contract extension or let him become someone else’s problem/solution. Stephenson was tossed from last night’s win against the Miami Heat after his emotional outbursts prompted two technical fouls. It could have cost the […]
by Kent Sterling You remember George O’Leary, right? In 2001, he left Georgia Tech for his dream job as the head football coach at the University of Notre Dame. A little fact checking was done, and O’Leary was a goner. O’Leary claimed to have received a degree at “SUNY – Stony Brook University” – an […]

I was called names and referred to as a hypocrite enough times that I should have suspected something, but I was typing so furiously I never […]
by Kent Sterling Plans are for the NFL’s director of officiating and his deputy to sit in a command center in New York, preview the video prior to the referee getting to the booth so he will see only the relevant footage, and then consult briefly with the ref to make sure the call is […]
by Kent Sterling When the seeds held in the sub-regional of the 1983 NCAA Tournament, a very cool opportunity availed itself for Indiana University students who were interested in making a small investment and taking a little drive south to Knoxville, Tennessee.
