The most important soccer tournament until 2013 begins today for the United States Men’s National Team. CONCACAF’s GOLD CUP is an every-other-year tournament between the top twelve countries in North, Central American and Caribbean. The most prominent teams in this region are the US and Mexico, but Costa Rica, Hondurus, and Jamaica are all more than capable of making a lot of noise. The tournament …

2011 Indiana Basketball Recruiting Recap
Today is the last day of the late signing period, meaning barring some last-minute bargaining, Indiana’s D1 Universities are finished recruiting. Here’s how I rank the classes. (Note: Star Rankings go by Scout, then Rivals, then ESPN. NR gets 1 star)

Pacers Fan? You Won’t Like Your Odds
The Indiana Pacers are finally back in the playoffs. After a 5 year layoff, Indiana will likely finish the season at 37-45, by far the worst record of any teams in the playoffs. And Vegas agrees, the Pacers are no favorite. Right now Indiana sits at 250-1 Odds to win it all. What does this mean?
Got $100 sitting around? A $100 dollar bet would…Opening Day: Top 20 Players
In the spirit of opening day, here is my list of the top 20 players in the MLB, regardless of position. Lets get started…
1. 1B – Albert Pujols – St. Louis Cardinals – As good as they come, maybe ever. Went .312 42HR 118RBI in a “down” year last year. He even stole 14 bases. Oh yeah, add in his Gold Glove. This year, …
This Butler Run is More Impressive than the Last
It’s happening again. Butler is busting brackets at a town near you. And after maybe the most improbable run in sports; a run that sent a small school from Indiana three inches from winning a national title… they’re doing it again. And this time without their best player, without the ninth pick in the NBA Draft Gordon Hayward. Teams rarely can just reload after losing …
Gordon Hayward Returns to Indy
Just 11 months after doing this, Gordon Hayward will return to his hometown. And this time a majority of the Indy faithful will be hoping he walks out with a loss. In Hayward’s brief two year career at Butler, he was able to embrace a city, a state, and a nation in a way that no Hoosier, Boilermaker, or Irish has ever been able to …
Pujols Not Signing Contract is Good for Cardinals
Albert Pujols is arguably the greatest player to every take the diamond. He’s the only player to ever bat .300 hit 30HR and 100 RBI in each of his first ten seasons. And, after the 2011 season any team in the MLB will have the chance at him. And that’s a good thing for the Cardinals.
It may not make sense on the onset that …
IU, PU, BSU Look to Rebuild Through Recruiting
13-23 was the combined record of the three Division 1 public schools in the state of Indiana. 13-23 with no bowl appearances. Purdue hasn’t bowled in 3 years, IU in 3, and BSU in 2 years. So how are programs turned around? Recruiting of course.
First lets take a look at the Hoosiers. IU rode 4 wins against non BCS conference teams, and a victory …
