A fun Friday night out with dear friends Bob Kravitz and Cathy Heller Kravitz to kick off my Indianapolis weekend. Harry & Izzy’s was tremendous, as always. Postgame ci**rs at Blend too, and lots of laughs.

Here's the big book news: I am thrilled to announce the release of book No. 23, fittingly a basketball book that's something new for me, a novel that's a wonderful story called "Perfect To A Fault.'' We hear all the time that middle school and high school kids say there's never any books that are fun to read, and this solves it. The story about Jory, his basketball journey and life's hiccups along the way is a great read by my long-time friend and newspaper colleague Michael S. Tierney. Adults and sports fans will love it, too. Here's the Amazon link, or hit me up for an autographed copy. bit.ly/PerfectFault

Upsets like Purdue over Ohio State twice and Indiana over Iowa twice sure makes it hard to get a true pecking order in the Big Ten power rankings. Here's my take. Please weigh in.

Purdue has beaten Ohio State twice and Indiana has done the same to Iowa, but they aren't better overall despite the wins. That makes doing our Big Ten power rankings a very difficult proposition.

I am truly humbled and honored to release what might be the most important book I've ever done. Because I literally have thousands of friends who are teachers and educators, all of you need to read "Throwing Rocks,'' which deals with teacher trauma and what we can do better to help teachers and keep our schools safer. My author – and now dear friend — Lindsey Acton was the target of a potentially disastrous situation as a first-year teacher in Indiana, and this is her story. It's beautifully written and a true and, at times, terrifying story. I have copies in my car for you, and it's now also available online. This one, please, is one you need to read. Let me know how I can get you a copy.

It was a great day in Tuscaloosa — for a book signing. Alabama fans may have been sad over their loss to LSU, but they loved buying up our "Decade of Dominance'' book all weekend.
Do you your copy? It's the best college football book of the year.

Nothing in college football history compares to what Nick Saban has accomplished at Alabama in the past decade. He has won five national championships and played for several others. Here are 10 that stand out:• Saban’s winning percentage of .817 in regular-season conference games was on pace to ...

It's been a really exciting first couple of weeks with Morgan Eye's great new book, "The Eye In Team: Cinderella Wore Sneakers.'' It's really selling well, and even more importantly, really connecting with young girls with a basketball dream. Still a top-5 new release basketball biography on Amazon, too. (LINK IN FIRST COMMENT BOX).
I thought you might like to read a handful of reviews. Then please, go buy!!

I have the coolest authors on my team here, and they do the coolest things — besides write and sell books. Here is Kym Klass, author of “One MoreDay,” hiking Devils Point Trail in Arizona. Beautiful picture, isn’t it?
