Learning from some of the best at the annual NSSA weekend

Jay Bilas to serve as a different piece to ESPN’s broadcast for IU-MSU
ESPN announcers Dave O’Brien and Dan Dakich got twitter buzzing during the Indiana-Minnesota broadcast after a tease that a special guest would be at Indiana’s game Tuesday against Michigan State. Immediately, most IU fans tried to connect the dots to former IU coach Bob Knight.

Relationships are everything

It’s about who knows you and who likes you.

Video: Weatherman has slippage when congratulating IU alum
I just had to post this. It’s live television at its finest.
After providing an update on the weather remotely, Ashton Altieri of 9News (KUSA) in Denver, Colorado makes a mistake and tries to laugh it off. Now thanks to YouTube, it’ll be a ‘whoopsies’ moment that he’ll never forget. While trying to congratulate Indiana grad and 9News sports reporter Aaron Matas (male on the …
