Finally, We’re Back Up And Running

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

After a few days of feeling like we've been given the business end of an axe handle in a very uncomfortable place, it appears that the site is now completely virus free. Now we can get back to the business of calling Norv Turner horrible names in peace. And there was ...

Duke Fans Are Fine With Being Evil

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Last night we were in downtown Indianapolis interviewing fans for YardBarker's Journey to the Tourney project, sponsored by Champion. We talked to fans from both teams about the roles their squads were playing in the 2010 National Championship Game. Clearly Butler was the classic underdog. They were the feel good ...

Technical Difficulties, Please Stay Tuned

Monday, April 5th, 2010

We are experiencing technical difficulties right now, so you may not want to stick around the site very long because apparently things have been popping up and giving people viruses. (At least if you are using Internet Explorer. If you are using another browser, this probably is not happening). Anyway, we're ...

On Campus: ‘Hoosiers’ Favorite Butler?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Being that Rumors and Rants is based in Indianapolis, we had a chance to head over to Butler earlier this week and get the scoop on what was happening on campus. The Bulldogs certainly have a loyal following and Butler's campus was beaming with pride, as nearly every building had ...

The Hangover 2: With Greg Oden

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

The Hangover is the new gold-standard for bachelor party movies, improving upon the template laid out in the '80s by... Bachelor Party. One of the most hilarious parts of the film is the cameo by Mike Tyson, which leads me to the purpose of writing this blog entry, for at my ...

Kyle Blanks Needs To Re-Grow His Afro

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

There's not a whole lot to dislike about Kyle Blanks. The 23-year-old San Diego Padre is a 6'6, 270-pound outfielder who is incredibly likable, has light-tower power and actually runs well (three stolen bases and three triples this spring, and an inside-the-park home run last year). The only thing keeping ...

DePaul To Talk To Knight

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

It would be an unlikely marriage, but the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that DePaul will be talking to Bob Knight in regards to its coaching vacancy. Knight, the all-time winningest coach in Division I history, has worked as a color commentator for ESPN the past two years. But with ESPN cohort ...
