Damarlo Belcher dismissed from IU football team

Damarlo Belcher’s career has come to an abrupt ending at Indiana. Head coach Kevin Wilson announced Monday that the senior wide receiver has been dismissed for violating team rules.

Despite leading the Big Ten in receptions last season, Belcher had been quiet during his senior campaign, partly due to the inconsistency at quarterback. In seven games, he registered 25 catches for 286 yards and a …

Northwestern trumps Indiana 59-38 in a rout

It was all too familiar, reminiscent ofthe Indiana football. The offense moved the ball down the field, scored points but the defense couldn’t get off the field and stupid penalties were the story. On a fall homecoming afternoon, Northwestern hands Indiana (1-8, 0-5) their sixth straight loss, 59-38.

Indiana and Northwestern combined for 97 points and 1,104 yards of total offense (616-488). How bad was …

IU loses at Iowa, but they found their quarterback in Tre Roberson

The Hoosiers went into Iowa looking to put an end to their four-game losing streak. They weren’t able to get the win, losing to the Hawkeyes 45-24, but they did leave with full confidence in true-freshman quarterback Tre Roberson.

Indiana heads west to Iowa in search of first Big Ten win

At 1-6 and winless in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers are obviously desperate for a victory. Indiana is on the road for the second straight week, this time at Iowa for their fourth conference clash.

Jeff Rabjohns on Indiana football, basketball and Hoosier Hysteria

Sunday, I talked with Jeff Rabjohns of Peegs.com on my radio show and he had a lot to say about IU’s top two sports. The Indiana football team lost bad Saturday afternoon at No. 4 Wisconsin and they were really never in it. I asked him about the quarterback carousel, and if so many players leaving the team is something to worry about or very …

As football evolves, Brian Kelly instills hope at Notre Dame

Six games into the 2011 season, it seems as if Notre Dame football has finally found its identity after dropping its first two games of the year to South Florida and Michigan.

Sitting at 4-2, Notre Dame and its fans have found themselves back in the BCS race with realistic aspirations of the type of season so many expected in South Bend. And this time, …

After a quick start for IU, Illinois scores six touchdowns to 41-20 win

Another week, another loss for the Indiana football team Saturday, falling to Illinois at home 41-20.

The Hoosiers played great out of the gun, as true-freshman Shane Wynn ran the kick-off back 99-yards for the first score of the game. The defense held the Ilini, and IU kicked a 44-yard field goal on the next drive. After that, Illinois came up with big plays as …

Andrew Luck with more similarities to Peyton – now calls his own plays at Stanford

With Colts off to an abysmal start, media and fans have began talking about Indy’s chancing of landing Stanford sensation Andrew Luck. Most experts and scouts believe he is the next best quarterback to enter the NFL, since well, Peyton Manning.

Manning signed a five-year, 90 million dollar contract before this season but hasn’t played a game because of ongoing neck problems.
