The only picks by an actual Indiana grad who prefers Indiana football to Indiana basketball. It's an acquired taste.
What I'm watching this week (with my dad edition):
12 pm - Indiana at Iowa - I guess so my Hawkeye-fan dad can watch with me and make snarky comments the whole time. ...

Illinois, Georgia Tech, Michigan and Baylor all lost on Saturday. God, Georgia Tech?!? They were playing Virginia! The Perfect Offense couldn't lose to Virginia! Innocence...slowly being...ripped...away.
Three of those four schools were handed their first loss of the year. Baylor lost their second, but this was the one that took them ...

What I'm watching Saturday:
12 pm: Baylor/Texas A&M - I know I'm supposed to be a Big Ten honk, being an Indiana grad and all, but after I watch the first quarter of the IU/Wisky game and the Hoosiers somehow give up 42 unanswered points again, I'm done with the B1G ...

In 2010, the Hoosiers' road trip to Madison ended in an 83-20 beating of historical proportions. This is the game most who follow Indiana football (all five of us!) point to as the reason Bill Lynch was fired at season's end, despite beating rival Purdue in overtime. I maintain it ...

Still the only weekly picks section by a real, live Indiana alumnus/fan who prefers college football to college basketball...
What I'm watching this Saturday:
12 pm - Penn State at Indiana until it's a blowout in the second quarter, then probably Aggies/Razorbacks with a side of Air Force/Navy
3:30 pm - Baylor/Kansas State ...

Three years ago, Mike Locksley was hired to turn around New Mexico's increasingly depressing football program. Long-time head coach Rocky Long had managed a record somewhere near .500 from 1998 to 2008, but he was fired after a four-win 2008 season despite going 9-4 the year before.
Three years later, Locksley ...

Oklahoma and LSU both won on Saturday night, Oklahoma is 3-0, LSU is 4-0 and now both can say they've been No. 1 in the polls this season. As a reward for beating three ranked teams in four games, the Tigers get to be No. 1 in the AP's poll ...

Even though Indiana football is depressingly bad, Purdue is still just as bad. And that's awesome.
Make no mistake, Indiana would have lost to Rice too, and it might not have been close enough for a blocked field goal to make a difference. But damn is it fun to watch Purdue ...

Fresh off what I'm sure was an eye-opening spring practice and heading into a very important fall camp, new Indiana football coach Kevin Wilson seems to be doing pretty much everything he can to get his program out of the basement of the Big 10. Whether it's new uniforms or ...

Connecticut (8-4) vs. (7) Oklahoma (11-2) (-17)
Nice little gift here for Oklahoma since their history in BCS games isn't so pretty. But wait, they were favored against West Virginia too! Yeah, that WVU team had Steve Slaton and Pat White. There's not one offensive skill player on UConn that would ...
