New Indiana Football Coach Is Kiel-ing It

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

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 ...

Friday, July 15th, 2011

Kelvin Sampson Is A Favorite For The Detroit Pistons Job

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Ah, the NBA. Only in that league does Billy Knight get to be a GM, Donald Sterling gets to keep owning a team, Vinny Del Negro gets multiple jobs as a head coach, and a pissy Deron Williams gets to run off a legend like Jerry Sloan before being traded ...

Call Me Crazy, I’ve Been Called Worse…

Monday, November 29th, 2010

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. ...

Big Ten Conference Alignment Suggestions

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Kelvin Sampson To Interview For NBA Jobs?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

From the "Things That Will Give Phillips An Aneurysm" department, as many as three NBA teams are reportedly considering Kelvin Sampson to fill their coaching vacancies.

Being An Indiana Basketball Fan Is Awesome

Friday, March 26th, 2010

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. ...

Indiana University: Where Ten Wins Make Us Smile

Monday, March 8th, 2010

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 ...

Super Bowl Ironies

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A few leftover notes from this year's Super Bowl: - How fitting is it that the two players most responsible for breaking Colts fans' hearts in this year's Super Bowl were rooted on by the very same fans in their collegiate careers? Purdue alum Drew Brees was the MVP of the game, ...
