Iowa Basketball: After Blowout Loss, Olaseni Shines Through as Positive

By

The Michigan Wolverines blew out the Iowa Hawkeyes men’s basketball team 95-67 in Ann Arbor on Sunday, but one positive to take from it was the play from Gabriel Olaseni. He played 14 minutes and racked up 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the second Big Ten game for the Hawkeyes. Those stats may not jump off the page, but compared to the 5 minutes and 1.4 points per game he averaged last year it’s a progression that is very welcome and needed depth at the center position. Coming into the year most people thought the center position … Continued

Hawkeyes drop nail biter to Hoosiers

By

I think the Hawkeyes cleared up any doubt that people had about their 11-2 start to the season, unfortunately for them, it came in a loss to nationally ranked Indiana, 69-65. The young Hawkeyes appeared ready for the #5 ranked Hoosiers right from the opening tip as Adam Woodbury shut down Cody Zeller, a potential Player of the Year candidate in the NCAA, on the first two possessions of the game.  Woodbury seemed to be a rock on the defensive end early in the game, however it was a different story on the offensive side.  He missed 2 shots from … Continued

Christmas Time for NBA Fans

By

It’s hard to imagine that this time last year the NBA was just getting underway.  Already the story lines are better than ever and we’re only about 30 games into the season.  Just five games into the season, the Lakers fire coach Mike Brown and flip L.A. the bird hiring Mike D’Antoni which has paved the way for a Pau Gasol mope fest and Kobe having a career year.  The New York Knicks seemingly limped into the Garden as the oldest team in league history and have shown that age is just another number.  The Golden State Warriors have come … Continued

Romo’s Legacy will be Remembered Tonight

By

Tony Romo has another opportunity. An opportunity that will ultimately define his career. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has had Romo’s back ever since he took over for Drew Bledsoe, claiming that Romo is his quarterback that will lead Dallas to a Super Bowl victory. Winning a Super Bowl isn’t easy when your team fails to make the playoffs. The quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys has another shot at redemption. The player who dons number nine has another chance to prove doubters wrong in a winner-take-all matchup. Two previous winner-take-all, week 17 games, one in 2008 vs. the Philadelphia Eagles and … Continued

NFL Playoffs Right Around the Corner

By

With two weeks left in the NFL regular season, playoff talk is heating up. Right now, I believe there are five teams currently projected to be in the NFC playoffs and three teams projected to be in the AFC playoffs that have a real shot at winning it all. Those teams are the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Redskins, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots. If the New York Giants make the playoffs, then they are a threat given their recent playoffs success. Here is how I currently see things shaking out: … Continued
