    This hidden gem of a sports team is just what we need to highlight in Indy. These ladies are…read moreamazing-scrapping and skating through the Fairgrounds and showing us just how strong women can be. It's a very casual atmosphere, withstands to sit in or you can choose to sit around at the Derby Circle. Beware, because you may get a little more action than you hoped for if sitting around the circle! Each bout features two teams: the Warning Belles & the Tornado Sirens. Each team jams for about 40 minutes with an intermission. There are some concessions available including Sun King beer. Most bouts revolve around a theme, like the popular Star Wars night usually held in May. This is a kid friendly and super fun atmosphere that you need to check out.

    Do you think that you've seen every thing that Indy has to offer in sports? My guess is probably…read morenot. They say that Indy is the Amateur Sports Capital of the world with every thing from soccer, baseball, basketball, ultimate freebie, and even a roller derby team. The Naptown Roller Girls consist of varying levels of skill, the Tornado Sirens, the Warning Belles, and the Third Alarm, but don't let that fool you. These girls give it their all on the track. The level of skill, strategy, and teamwork that is needed for this is amazing, especially considering how fast paced the bouts can get. If your new to the sport, you shouldn't feel intimidated. The program that they provide details the objective of the sport, as well as explains how they score. During one of the bouts that I attended, prior to the first team taking the track, they had an example run on the track to explain the rules. The announcers do a good job as the bout goes on as well of explaining was goes on. They are also pretty funny and try to fill the dead time. The atmosphere of the bouts is one thing that everyone should at least experience once. The dedicated fans bring excitement to the bouts.The roller girls themselves are very friendly and are just as dedicated to their fans as the fans are to them. The bouts have tended to bounce between the Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion and Indiana Convention Center this past season. Ticket prices are generally cheaper if you purchase them prior to a bout; however, you can get them day of. I highly recommend seeing the Naptown Roller Girls in action, just don't go with the exceptions of seeing Whip-its and full body slamming contact. Also, make sure to get to a bout early to secure good seating.

    There are only a handful of states where college basketball is big and Indiana is one of them…read morethanks in part to the Butler Bulldogs. Butler University has become synonymous with the NCAA tournament and March Madness, but it wasn't until relatively recently that this program became prominent on a national level. Even though Butler's first season was in the late 1800s, 15 of the school's 16 NCAA tournament appearances happened after 1996. Most college basketball fans remember Butler's runs to the national championship game in 2010 and 2011. Those were also the only years the program has advanced as far as the Final Four and Elite Eight. 2010 was a heartbreaker for the Bulldogs as sophomore Gordon Hayward missed a half-court heave at the buzzer that would have won it: https://youtu.be/SB00wfyuQjY?t=340. Butler fell to Duke, 61-59. That year, Butler was a 5-seed and Duke was a 1-seed. In 2011, Butler made it all the way back to the national championship game as an 8-seed where they lost to 3-seed Connecticut, 53-41: https://youtu.be/c4UHqdYjdeg?t=149. That 2010-11 UConn team is another story. Led by junior Kemba Walker, UConn finished in a tie for 9th place in the old Big East with a mediocre 9-9 regular season conference record. That Butler team was led by junior Shelvin Mack. Current Boston Celtics president and former Celtics head coach Brad Stevens was the coach of Butler during those national runner-up years. He had tremendous success leading the Bulldogs from 2007 to 2013. He ended his career at the school with records of 166-49 (.772) overall and 84-22 (.792) in conference. Butler was in the Horizon League from 1979 to 2012, spent one year in the Atlantic 10 (2012-13), and has been in the Big East since (2013-present). The Big East is a step up for Butler, but the conference isn't what it used to be after the conference realignments of the early 2010s. Butler's on-campus basketball arena, Hinkle Fieldhouse, is historic. Originally opened as Butler Fieldhouse in 1928, it was where the 1986 basketball movie Hoosiers, starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper, was filmed. Hinkle Fieldhouse is a designated National Historic Landmark. With its present seating capacity of 9,100, it's the smallest basketball arena in the Big East. In 2021, Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted NCAA tournament games as part of a larger, single-site, COVID-19 "bubble." My team, the 2021 ACC champions, Georgia Tech, lost to Loyola Chicago on Butler's homecourt on March 19, 2021.
