    The Indiana Hoosiers are having a remarkable season so far, currently sitting at the top of the Big Ten with a 5-0 (2-0 in conference) record. Depending on what happens in Nebraska in a few weeks, Indiana could easily go for a record-breaking 10-2 season. But what if they went 11-1? The idea of an…

    So, the other day, I was sitting in my 5th period American Government class. I had already gotten all of my work done, so I decided to pursue a little side project of mine – studying conference realignment. Realignment, of course, is quite the complex topic, in fact, it’s so complex that we had to…

    Horse Guillotine: Stephen F. Austin State drops 70 points in 1st half against NAIA team
