I'm sure our audience's patience has been exasperated by our insistence on bringing you constant ramblings involving Indiana University football. But hey, we're proud alums and apparently enjoy self-torture.
But just when you think it can't get any worse, another fall Saturday rolls around.
Luckily, I was at a wedding Saturday night ...

For decades, Indiana fans have wondered why their football team sucks so badly.
Fortunately, new coach Kevin Wilson has finally gotten to the root of the problem.
In an earth-shattering decision delivered on Tuesday, Wilson announced that the Hoosiers will be moving their sideline from the west side of Memorial Stadium to ...

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. ...

Yeah, that's right I said it. Rooting for Indiana University's men's basketball team is just freaking great. Not only has my Alma mater been tearing it up on the court the past two seasons (to the tune of a 16-46 record), but hated rival Purdue has become a national power. ...

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:
1. We apparently weren’t smart enough to get into our No. 1 college choice (Northwestern in my case).
2. We watch “Breaking Away” at least ...

I'm learning to appreciate a loser.
My Chicago Bears are outright pathetic with the consensus being both the head coach AND general manager need to go.
My hometown Indiana Pacers are a collection of nothing more than decent role players and it shows with a predictable last place standing in the Central ...

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.
It begs the question, if Groh can be fired, than ...

Indiana University Athletic Director Fred Glass was quoted today as saying fooball coach Bill Lynch will definitely remain for the two years left on his contract and that "contracts need to mean something at Indiana again."
This ringing endorsement comes on the heels of Lynch saying he doesn't second-guess any of ...

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.
But now this afternoon, the NCAA, headquartered in Indianapolis, has sent out a press release that the association's president, Myles ...
