-Sad day for Northwestern basketball. Last night it was announced that Northwestern star Kevin Coble is giving up his final year of basketball eligibility and will not play in the upcoming 2010-11 college basketball season. Its a pretty rare decision for a player of Coble's talent level to insist on not playing rather than simply taking graduate classes to maintain eligibility. Northwestern still has a pretty good core group of players coming back and I still think they have a good chance to make it the NCAA Tournament for the first time.
There have now been 5 no-hitters (including the 2 perfect games) pitched in baseball this season. Did you know that the average attendance of the 5 perfect games is around 21,000, and well below the league average?
-With the MLB trade deadline approaching, Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly may have pitched his last game as a Cub.
-I just saw a Chicago Tribune article from last Friday, offering suggesting that the Big Ten should have its Football championship in one location, which of course will start next year when Nebraska joins the Big 10 (which will include 12 schools). Of course, there are many viable options for hosting the Big Ten Football Championship Game around the Midwest. However, I definitely agree with the article and think it would be better to have the game in one location, than to rotate sites. The Big Ten Basketball tournament, is always in Indianapolis, and I think geographically, it would make sense to also have the football game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
