That was a tough one to watch because while I went to IUPUI, I received my diploma from IU’s School of Journalism. I’ve always been a Hoosiers’ fan, but on Tuesday I found myself rooting for the Jaguars, who were known as the Fighting Buses (Metros) when I went to school there back in the early 1980s.
After a very, very slow start, the Colts seem to be on track right now although I think they’re going to have a tough time earning a playoff spot and I think some of the players are starting to show a little age.
On the other hand, Brownstown Central earned its second trip to a semistate last Friday and my high school alma mater, Ben Davis, plays Center Grove for that Class 5A title on Friday as well.
I have to admit that I haven’t paid much attention to the NBA any more and that includes my once beloved Pacers. There seems to be a whole lot of offense and very little defense.
Since the brawl at Detroit several years, the Pacers just seemed to have gone down hill.
I will have to admit I’ve watched the Pacers a little bit more this year. For some reason, the games seem to be a little more fun to watch.
The Pacers also have lowered their ticket prices in a bid to get people back. It makes sense to me that if you can’t fill a sit because people won’t buy a ticket lower the price instead of leaving that seat empty.
That’s a lesson I think a lot of other sports, including NASCAR, needs to learn.
