    CBS and Final Four Coverage

    Back when the present Men's Championship contract was being negotiated, CBS had pretty much resigned itself that ESPN was going to take over the tournament. ESPN wanted it bad. Turner Sports was wanting to get involved, so they approached CBS about joining in on CBS's bid. Part of the deal...

    OT: Hoosiers the movie

    I knew a couple of the local guys who actually worked as part of the film crew and have their names credited at the end of the movie. I'm pretty sure he was speaking of Barbara Hershey. She basically just didn't want to be there and made it known. Another side note is that Gene Hackman feared...

    Buy the Wilkinson HS Gym

    Actually it's almost 17 miles due east of McCordsville which is where I grew up. Both towns are in Hancock County. McCordsville is at 750 North and 600 West or Mt. Comfort Road. And Wilkinson is at 700 North and 1050 East just south of IN 234 on IN 109. I dated a girl from Wilkinson...

    Whey the hell can I not watch the IU game tonight?

    It's all part of the Big Ten negotiating television rights for the whole conference and all of that money. Peacock has basically taken over the ESPN Tuesday night games that ESPN did for well over 30 years. It was so nice back in the days when each university negotiated their own television...

    Oakland in danger of losing three professional franchises

    I believe Marge Schott's quote for Indianapolis getting a Major League Baseball team was "over my dead body!". This was when local Indy business owner of Indy radio stations, Art Angotti. was trying to make it happen and even had the team name picked out, the Indianapolis Aeros. The Hoosier...

    New Castle semi-state

    Just a week ago, Mt. Vernon (Fortville) in northwest Hancock County, played New Palestine located in southwest Hancock County. They are county rivals and play every year. This year they met in their 4A Sectional Championship played at Muncie Central in Delaware County. A 55 mile drive for New...

    Game time Friday

    The Men's 1st round brackets have 4 games played at each site. Afternoon session with 2 games usually start a little after noon EDT, then the evening session starts around 7pm EDT. And they do need the break in between. I helped televise the 1st and 2nd rounds running camera for CBS for 17...

    The northwestern A.D. needs to get on the mic

    It's classless but today's student bodies don't care. If their A.D. gets on the PA, that will probably just make it worse. Some students will claim it's "free speech" and they are free to chant whatever they want. Remember that they yelled "DUI" at Mason Gillis in their Purdue game...

    Vitale

    I remember the great fanfare about Archie Miller coming to IU from Dayton. Supposedly, Ohio State had him in mind as their next coach, and Fred Glass beat them to him. Then Ohio State grabbed Chris Holtmann from Butler. For awhile there, it looked like OSU got the better end of the deal, but...

    Storming the court

    I have been fortunate in helping televise five of IU's defeats of #1 teams coming into Assembly Hall. Starting with Kirk Haston's shot over MSU in 2001, Christian Watford's shot in 2011, #3 IU's win over #1 Michigan in 2013, and just this past Saturday, IU's 79-74 win over Purdue. I also did...

    You don't think Wisconsin will come on here on Tuesday night looking for bear? They will be pissed off after losing at home to Rutgers today and getting knocked out of the tie for first. This is not looking good. Of course i thought they had no chance against Purdue.

    So it’s not on ESPN2?

    I think they also had to clear the stadium to let in IU and Marshall fans. Not positive about that.

    Hoosiers still hold title to last Perfect Season

    3 straight out of the last 4 teams that have seen their undefeated season end, have all occured right here in Indianapolis. Only Indiana State's loss to Michigan State in '79 occured in Salt Lake City.
