I woke up this morning to a text message from my buddy Josh that I was hoping I wouldn’t receive, “Uncle Mo out of the Derby.” The thing is Josh doesn’t even follow horse racing. He just knew that I had been telling any and everybody who would listen all year long that Uncle Mo was going to win the Kentucky Derby. That news was …

Could Uncle Mo Be The One?
Remember that beautiful June day at Belmont Park in 1978 when Affirmed fought back on the rail to hold off Alydar and win horse racing’s Triple Crown? Yeah, me neither. As a matter of fact, that was ten years before I was even born.
Yet believe it or not that was the last time any horse has won the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and …

Odd Numbers Add Up to a Bright Future for the Pacers
It has been a long, exhausting road for the Indiana Pacers franchise to return to NBA relevance after hitting rock bottom beginning in 2004 after the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Indiana spent the next few seasons after the infamous brawl shipping every single player involved with that team out of town while trying to restructure their franchise with high-character players.

Where is the confidence for the Hoosiers?
Things looked promising for the IU men’s basketball at the beginning of the season as they ran through the easiest stretch of home games any Division 1 school could possibly face.
Playing teams like SIU-Edwardsville and Florida Gulf Coast was supposed to be a confidence builder for the young Hoosiers while teaching them how to win, something that they haven’t experienced much over the past …
