During Big Ten football Saturdays like this, how do you spin what happened? How do you put lipstick on these pigs? And even though Northwestern out-gained an AWFUL Western Michigan team by just 126 yards, they've still earned the second slot. You can argue that a different Big Ten football team deserves to be there. But my argument is pretty solid for NU. Also, Illinois gave … [Read more...] about Big Ten football power rankings: lipstick on a pig edition

Indiana Hoosiers Cody Zeller becoming a rock star
The Indiana Hoosiers Cody Zeller could end up achieving the same trifecta as Anthony Davis at Kentucky did last year. The Wildcats big man from Chicago won a national title, took home the college basketball player of the year award, and became the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. Zeller may do the same this year. For those who do some online betting, the Hoosiers are the … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers Cody Zeller becoming a rock star
Indiana Hoosiers, Cody Zeller lead strong Big Ten basketball outlook
The Big Ten has been pretty weak in college football this season. That's obvious. But as down as football might be, Big Ten college basketball is up just as much, perhaps even more. The league has three of the top five in the coaches poll, and five teams in the top 25. The Hoosiers are number one in the poll, with the Buckeyes number four and the Wolverines number … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers, Cody Zeller lead strong Big Ten basketball outlook

Indiana Hoosiers have another strong class, led by Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell
The Indiana Hoosiers could be the preseason #1 next year. If instant impact freshman Cody Zeller and hero of the Kentucky game Christian Watford return, and former star wing Maurice Creek is the same player he was before injury, IU is going to be a juggernaut. They have a very solid core returning, and the 3rd rated recruiting class coming in. The Hoosiers have five solid … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers have another strong class, led by Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell

When college basketball is seeing the decline of the big man too. The two main big men in the Big Ten are Cody Zeller at Indiana, … [Read more...] about Hoosiers Cody Zeller is Superior to Illini Meyers Leonard
Hoosiers’ rivalry with Illinois moving more towards Indiana’s Favor
Overshadowed this week by UNC-Duke, the best rivalry in college basketball and Syracuse-Georgetown, the greatest in the Big East, is Illini vs. Hoosiers, a great rivalry in itself. The all time series was tied at 83 entering tonight. However, Illinois was 5-1 in their last 6 versus IU. And that one loss in Bloomington last year was extremely fluky to say the least. After … [Read more...] about Hoosiers’ rivalry with Illinois moving more towards Indiana’s Favor
