IU, Purdue sign strange chicken sponsorship deals
May 23, 2013
Comments(6)IU and Purdue sports fans next season will get bombarded with marketing messages from Zaxby’s. The deal is a bit odd

April 10, 2013
Comments(10)Victor Oladipo, more than any player over the last decade and certainly during Crean’s tenure in Bloomington, is the
guy who could return IU to national prominence—more than he already has—and make Crean a rock star with recruits—more
than he already is.
MoreIU's Crean classless, misguided in postgame confrontation
March 11, 2013
Comments(53)IU basketball coach Tom Crean has become beloved by Hoosiers supporters for winning with class. After Sunday's victory

MoreIU's Assembly Hall could get new name if price is right
February 27, 2013

MoreWho is Indiana's best college hoops coach? There are two answers
February 6, 2013

Tom Crean, hands down.

MoreCrean has become the man IU can't afford to lose
November 14, 2012

all the baggage and it's only a matter of time before the affable coach is at the center of an effort to replace Assembly
Hall.

May 4, 2012
Comments(41)It's been a tough week for Indiana traditions. Jim Nabors won't be at the Indy 500, the IU-UK match-up has been scrubbed
and the 500 field of 33 may be minus one for the first time since 1934. Is the sky falling? Maybe not, but it sure feels like
it to us Hoosiers.
MoreIU hoops, Colts fight for spot as state's top sports brand
March 22, 2012

March 5, 2012

MoreIndiana poised to become a basketball state once again
December 16, 2011
Comments(7)With the Pacers and IU re-emerging as contenders and the Colts floundering, Indiana sports fans are primed to re-embrace their

Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
Yes. Blame those who were too lazy to go vote Obama out and those who voted him in again. That's my take on it. I know folks won't get it on the left. OK. Start berating me now!
Serioulsy, people are AGINST this project? Most communities would be salivating over a project like this. You'd rather have an empty eye-sore gas station and shacks posing as apartments? This project is exactly what BR needs. BUILD IT MR MAYOR. And yes, I am a BR resident, and have been for 20 years.
As a St. Vincent employee of over 20 years, I am saddened and disheartened by this announcement. Unfortunately, as the healthcare "industry" continues on this political and corporate path, all that St. Vincent Hospital has stood for spiritually for its employees and this community is being sucked dry. I know it truly has no choice. It is not just Obamacare or just competition or just any single thing. This trend started long before I was even born when the government became involved in healthcare and it became an "industry." I grieve for those who will lose their jobs, one of whom may be me, but I also grieve for this hospital which I have served for over 20 years. May God give us and it the grace to withstand the future of healthcare.
Why do people constantly harp on this issue and act ignorant about what a city population measures? A city's population is the city's population. There is no argument or debate about it. If you want to measure the density of a city--measure it. If you want to measure the size of a metropolitan area, then measure the metropolitan population. City boundaries cover different sized areas--and they always have (though the disparity has probably increased since about 1900 or so when more cities began annexing their surrounding communities). For example, San Francisco only covers 49 square miles while Houston cover nearly 600 square miles. No one argues about the population rankings of either city even though they clearly cover extremely different sized areas. Indianapolis is the 13 largest city by population in the U.S. That is a fact. While the population of a metropolitan area may give you a better sense of how large a community is, as noted, even metro areas can vary widely in the size of geographic area they cover--so that is not a perfect comparison either.
