The only picks by an actual Indiana grad who prefers Indiana football to Indiana basketball. It's an acquired taste.

12 pm - Indiana at Iowa - I guess so my Hawkeye-fan dad can watch with me and make snarky comments the whole time. ...

If you haven't read Yahoo! Sports' insane, incredibly well-sourced, documented and in-depth investigative piece on the NCAA violations at the University of Miami from 2002-2010, do yourself a favor and give it a read. It is as good a piece of sports journalism as I've read in years.
The report details ...

It's pretty easy to make fun of the Big East for being by far the ...

Read my week eight picks here.
11:20 am - Home from vacation only to find two flat tires on my car. Awesome.

Ah, the scene of Terrelle Pryor's 2009 Waterloo. Every one of the flaws in his game (most of which still exist, by the way) came to light that afternoon in Lafayette in a stunning display ...

South Dakota 41 Minnesota 38 - In the words of Nelson Muntz, Esq., HA-HA. I don't care if it makes the Big Ten look bad. This is hilarious. Everyone should lose but Indiana. Oh, and world, Dante Warren. Dante ...

Record: 7-4 (4-6-1 ATS)
Yahoo! league record: 7-9
Noon ET
(15) Georgia Tech (1-0) at Kansas (0-1) (+14)
What a terrible time for the (already) beleaguered Turner Gill-led Kansas squad to play a brutally effective Georgia Tech team. That 6-3 loss to North Dakota State was bad enough, but now Gill's essentially talent-less team ...

It looks like Dan Gilbert just got owned in the writing an awesome "f*ck you note" game.

After doing a little bit of reading, I still can't find out exactly why Orlando, FL has a 70,000-seat stadium, but no college or professional teams to use them. And no, I'm not counting the UFL team that plays there three times a year or the two bowl games played ...

Wow, MSU got way worse in one season. Who knew Brian Hoyer was so valuable? Actually, I'm not even sure that's his name. It was some dude for State last year who was super mediocre, ...
