It’s IU Week, and as such, time to pull back the curtain on another HateWeek at OTP. We always get asked whether we actually hate IU, and the short answer is no. The much longer answer is that IU is a great school with a great athletic tradition in some sports and a mediocre football [...]

For those of you unaware, I had been engaging in a bit of conversation on Indiana’s Rivals.com website, Peegs.com. This website, run by Mike Pegram, is a site where Hoosier fans can gather together, talk about all things IU-related, etc. Apparently it is also a place where Pegram gets his jollies by ruling with an [...]
