Indiana State Kickoff Time Set
UC will start the home portion of the schedule on September 11th at Noon. As a UC fan I am not a big fan of this start time. Day games in Nippert Stadium can be a bit flat, lacking the energy and atmosphere which makes Nippert such a tough place to play. Indiana State blows, really, really hard...

The season that was: Indiana 55, Indiana State 7.
The 2007 season began as it should have, with a whipping of Indiana State, one of the worst teams in Division I-AA. Here's the box score, and here's the blog wrap-up. As I noted last year, a blowout win wasn't necessarily a good sign except as the absence of a bad sign. Also, the ISU game ended an...
Someone bring me an axe...
For the longest time the Indiana State men’s basketball program was the answer to a trivia question. They were the only school that had played in the Final Four in every NCAA Tournament it had been invited to. That was true until they were invited to the 2000 NCAA tournament and lost to Texas in...
Weekend update
My colleague Boilerdowd over at Boiled Sports had a wonderful wrap up of Saturday’s Indiana State contest. I didn’t get a chance to watch much of the game until later Saturday night, but the best words that describe it are as follows:It was a win.Sometimes that is all it really boils down to. Did...
