Crean The Right Move

April 2nd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

While I am not usually as negative as other IU alumni on this website, I must say my gripes about IU generally are directed toward the athletic office. Their usual mismanagement of Human Resources related issues must be some ploy to make sure their name gets on Sports Center in the hope that it will [...]

It’s Valentines Day….

And Kelvin Sampson Has Broken My Heart.

Remember “The Simpsons” episode where Ralph gave Lisa the Valentine, Lisa told Ralph she didn’t “like, like him” and later Bart showed Lisa in slow motion where you could see Wiggum’s heart breaking frame by frame? This was how I felt yesterday when Indiana University released the major infractions they received [...]

College Bowl Predictions - Part I

“College Coaches Are No Different Than South American Freedom Fighters.”

An open letter to college coaches-
Dear Money Grubbing Ego-maniacal Scumbags:
I understand that coaching can be a brutal profession, but as Gregg Easterbrook pointed out, it can also be done by volunteers (unlike surgeons). The only reason that your families collapse, your health fades and you sleep [...]

“The Ire Of The Tigers Fans”

If Mizzou fans are not upset today, then they will be after reading this. If I were a Mizzou fan, I would be upset. Sure that win against Kansas was dare I say the biggest win in the history of the program? There has not been so much excitement in [...]

Gill is in at Nebraska?

November 27th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

This is all speculation, trust me on that. Yesterday Nebraska AD Tom Osbourne flew on a chartered plane to Baton Rouge, LA apparently to interview LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pellini. The plane then left to fly to Atlanta to meet with their coach searching firm and, presumably to interview Buffalo head coach Turner Gill. Huskernation [...]

Dear Readers, LWN wishes you all a happy and prosperous Thanksgiving. Remember to spend time with your loved ones. Let them know what you are thankful for.

Well, this is unfortunate

November 1st, 2007 | Posted in awful announcing

Lemme tell you — nothing takes the glow off your day quite like flying from Fort Lauderdale to Pittsburgh. Or Baltimore. But I’m in Pittsburgh now, hobnobbing with sport marketers and cursing the predicted 35-degree low temperatures for tonight.
A few stories to tide you over in the meantime:
— Rumored new ESPN hire (and current Baltmore [...]
