Word on the street is that the Colts’ season is over. I hate counting teams out especially if they have a chance to pull something out and make the playoffs, but the situation the Colts are in right now does not show much promise. After losing two straight division games to Houston and Tennessee, ...
Six high school esports teams battled each other in League of Legends for scholarships at IUPUI in mid-October. The 2019 IUPUI High School Invitational hosted by Gamers Hall allowed students from all over the U.S. to compete for $30,000 in scholarships, with the winning team taking $15,000, second ...
Happy Wednesday and welcome back to another edition of What-if Wednesday: NBA Edition. If you didn’t read that in a deep voice, you missed my point of adding NBA Edition. Anyway, for some, this last week the NBA would have been put on the backburner to football, but not to us. We are the few, the ...
We’re back with What-if Wednesday, but this time we are going to spice things up. We’re heading to the hardwood, and just like last time, we are going to start out with the five worst teams in the NBA. In case you didn’t read the NFL version, here is a rundown of what we are doing. I am going ...
Houston was finally able to get over the hump and beat the Colts in Houston. Even though the Texans have taken control of the division, hope is not all lost for the Colts. At 6-5, the playoffs are still in play for this Indianapolis Colts team. This loss does make it that much harder to claim a playoff ...
The Pacers can easily be mistaken for an infirmary at this point, as most of their players have missed games because of various injuries. However, this has not stopped the Pacers train from chugging along, as they’re currently sitting with an 8-6 record and with a point differential of 4.3 points ...
The Indiana Hoosiers are one young team, and the “cupcake” games show that they are blowing teams out. However, I think the expectations and what we have seen from Indiana need to take a pause. Justin Smith has been dominating in his first couple of games. His energy, hustle and discipline helped ...
When the Colts look back on the season, this past week will definitely be the lowest point. The loss to Miami at Lucas Oil Stadium seems bad on the outside, but what were the real reasons the Colts lost this game? I think there are three reasons for the loss: the injury bug is real, turnovers, and below ...

As Destiny Perkins dribbles down the court, the ring of a whistle echoes throughout The Jungle. With 39 fouls during the game, there was a foul called about every 58 seconds. Even with a lack of momentum due to stoppages, Coach Austin Parkinson and his squad were able to pull out a 81-78 win against ...
The Colts let another one slip away against the Steelers. They should have won, but who would have predicted that Quenton Nelson would injure Jacoby Brissett? What made this game even more perplexing than it already was is the fact that Brian Hoyer came in and played well, minus the key pick-six by ...
The Butler Bulldogs routed the IUPUI Jaguars 80-47 in both teams’ first game of the season. The deficit for the Jags was 10 at halftime, but Butler pulled away, outscoring IUPUI 44-21. Butler senior Sean McDermott shot 10-11 from the field on his way to 26 points, pacing the Bulldogs. The first half ...
With the NFL season about halfway over with, now is the perfect time to analyze the best teams in the league. The two best in the league don’t need anything to make them contenders, so I am not going to give them anything. As of the Week 9 games, I think that the Chiefs and the Patriots remain the ...
For the state of Indiana, schools are looking to return to once great heights. Purdue finished with an Elite Eight appearance, Indiana fought through a talented team but could not figure it out, Notre Dame battled the injury bug, and Butler had a season of ups and downs. Despite the fact that it seems ...
The Pacers have been bad to start the season. Even with a win on Wednesday, it has not looked good. That being, beating Brooklyn while enduring the loss of Myles Turner impresses me as well. That being said, let’s get to the grades: Impressive Malcolm Brogdon, A Were I to declare a standout player ...
For over two decades, the Indiana Hoosiers (6-2) have struggled to accomplish a record that was over .500. In fact, since 1994, the Hoosiers have been able to accomplish the feat once. In 2007, the school went 7-6. However, the 2019 Hoosiers are off to their best start since 1993, a year in which they ...
As the breeze rips through Carroll Stadium, the Jags’ Miranda Ricks nets the third goal to go up 3-0 in the 18th minute. Unfortunately for IUPUI, this would just be the beginning of a hard fought win. With this win, the Jags are guaranteed at least a three seed in the Horizon League Playoffs. When ...
Last time I checked, a win is a win and I’ll take it. The Denver defense is not ranked 4th in the league for no good reason, and they gave the Colts offense fits all afternoon long. I expected the offensive line to be tested, but not to break down so often. It seemed as if Jacoby Brissett was uncomfortable ...
The NBA season has finally arrived, and with that there are predictions for the playoffs to be made. I am here to bring bold predictions and thoughts about the postseason the looms in the distance. First, we start off with the Eastern Conference. I have the Milwaukee Bucks taking the number one seed. ...
Write October 27th down in the record books, the NFL finally got something right! This Sunday’s prime time was great, even without Patrick Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers had one of the best throws I have ever seen, but that’s not what we are here to talk about; buckle up and get ready for What-If Wednesday ...
