Tired of your Saturday Cavaliers? Check in with the ones who play on Sunday

By Jim Reedy | September 27, 2000

So there I was in my half-furnished living room two nights ago, watching "Monday Night Football" and putting off all kinds of very necessary homework, when Terrence Wilkins makes a 27-yard touchdown catch for the Indianapolis Colts.

Basketball surpasses stalled football 'corporation'

By Jed Williams | September 26, 2000

After Illinois performed a 63-21 woodshed job on his powerless Cavaliers in January, George Welsh promised a "reinvented corporation." Little did he know his refurbished pigskin machine would be the football equivalent of Crystal Pepsi. So I exaggerate. But the man with 185 victories to his name could never have guessed that media vultures would recite his memorable prophesy more often than the Preamble to the Constitution.
