It's never a good sign when the best receiver in your team's history played during FDR's administration, but when Indiana's your team that's the type of thing that happens. (My buddy's grandfather is the still the leading rusher in DePaul history, but at least they gave up football before the ...

Kevin Wilson is my kind of coach. Which is a good thing because right now, he is my coach (as an alum and fan, though I may still have some eligibility as a pooch punter).
The new Indiana football head man is responsible for turning around one of the country's worst ...

I know, I know. It’s been awhile since my last contribution.
Well, let me re-introduce myself. I’ve been described as a ‘would-be ladies man,’ a Rick Moranis clone and a hopeless romantic (I still think the Cubs have a shot).
Oh yeah, and I’m an Indiana University football fan. Yeah, that’s right. ...

As you loyal Rumors and Rants readers are all too familiar with by now, we’re a bunch of Indiana University graduates. Which means a few things:

University of Virginia head coach Al Groh is now former University of Virginia head coach Al Groh.
Why do I care?
Because Groh’s Cavaliers absolutely destroyed my beloved Indiana Hoosiers 47-7 earlier this season. It was one of UVA’s three wins this year.

The Indiana Hoosiers are contacting the Big Ten about the egregious officiating job done during last week's Iowa/Indiana game in Iowa City.

I know times are bad right now. Jobs keep disappearing faster than Deadspin posting photos of fans with creatively-shaved chest hair or Kanye West saying “I." But there’s hope. Good times, they are a comin.’
How can I be so optimistic? It’s simple. If the dredges of college football can actually get their ...

Wow, talk about your rough day for Indianapolis-based sports patriarchs.
First, news came this morning that Indiana Pacers co-owner Mel Simon had died. His Rumors and Rants-styled obit is below or here.

He was a celebrated college hero from my beloved alma mater I had never heard of.
A quarterback so good he stole playing time from Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh.
