Alright… I have a confession to make. Despite running this website, lauding the Cardinals, and basically pissing Cardinal and White, I have never been to a Ball State spring game.

We’re a little over a week away from celebrating a joyous resurrection. Sure, that Jesus fella did it as well, and some folks will come together to laud his accomplishment of rising from the dead, but if you’re a Cardinal football fan, the rebirth that is taking place this spring is quite the spectacle to [...]

I am admittedly not the world’s biggest NFL fan. Yes, I keep up with the Colts and Bears as the two most local NFL teams to my Indiana roots, but for the most part, I can take or leave the copious amounts of inflated salaries and inflated egos of the boys who play on Sunday. [...]
