Bowl Selections are confusing

I’ve been doing bracketology for over a decade now, so I’m as familiar with the selection process as anyone. After doing it for a while, you start to understand the confluence of “science” (RPI ratings, strength of schedule, etc) and “art” (the subjective selection process, the influence of conference ties in the selection room), and [...]

SI Jinx - Good thing it’s Danny Manning

Being an IU Basketball fan, I was happy and worried to see the Indiana jersey on the cover of the Sports Illustrated College Basketball Preview.  I was excited that we made the cover, but also worried about the SI Jinx (See Michigan, SI Cover & App. St.).
But then my second though was, “Why is Danny Manning [...]

Apparently the moment shined a bit too long

THE GAMES OF THE WEEK

“The Picture is Clearing up”
The BCS Championship is starting to come into focus, and I can say with glee, Ohio State WILL NOT be invited to the party (they don’t deserve it). Sadly, the Big Ten will once again not win the big dance. Ohio State and Michigan will battle to see who plays in [...]

Following that, John Koluder gets all X-rated about the NCAA’s plan to ban profanity from the sidelines of college [...]

Robert Goulet, ESPN legend

We’re a bit young and recall Robert Goulet more as the great villain Quentin Hapsburg in “The Naked Gun 2 1/2″ than his broadway stuff (Isn’t that right, Mr. … poopy pants?).
Goulet died Tuesday, but sports fan remember him for some of the greatest ESPN commercials made. These were from the late 1990’s, and I [...]

THE GAMES OF THE WEEK

It was a good week for LWN, as he went 5-1. Only a late Kellen Lewis TD scramble kept me from being perfect on the week. Yours truly was at the IU-PSU game this past weekend, and while the outcome was somewhat disappointing the fans were impressive. By impressive, I mean angry. [...]
