St. Mary's moved to 21-2 overall and 10-0 in the WCC with a convincing 80-66 win over BYU last night, and the frustration of the Cougar faithful (pun intended) was no more evident than at the start of the second half—when fans throwing items on the court earned BYU a technical foul call. More »

So, yes, having these clips compiled does imply that I sat through nearly all 40 videos on the "Follow Jimmer" YouTube channel, and yes, I am slightly ashamed of that implication (did I get Jimmered?), but I'll stand by the belief that it was totally worth it. Jimmer Fredette & Family have embarked on a carefully curated marketing plan — the core of which seems to be "If you Jimmer, they will come" — in which they present the NBA prospect as the most normal, boring, mild-mannered white Mormon basketball guard in the history of the United States. It's brilliant, though: by underlining his extreme normality, they're also making him extremely marketable. Jimmer can do no wrong, Jimmer will do no wrong. Jimmer will silently eat a sub for 14 seconds, and you will like it. More »

Over the past month, BYU has been held up as a symbol of all that is decent in college sports for its unsparing treatment of Brandon Davies, the African-American basketball player who violated the school's honor code by reportedly having sex with his girlfriend. Davies was suspended shortly before the NCAA tournament, and a braying mainstream press lauded BYU for sticking to its principles. Sports Illustrated's website even wondered if a values-driven, "non-hypocritical" BYU was "on the verge of becoming America's team." More »

On Friday, New York Knick Amar'e Stoudemire had some choice twords to type about BYU's treatment of Brandon Davies. Specifically, "Don't ever go to BYU, they kick a Young Educated (Black)Brother OUT OF SCHOOL. The kid had premarital sex. Not suspended, Not Release. Wow!" More »

Back when I wrote that I couldn’t wait to watch the BYU-TCU game, I meant it. Completely. But what I forgot was that I’d be on the road in a hotel room. I don’t know why it is but hotels have the most erratic cable channel selections known to man. If you’re anything like me you’ve found yourself lying on a bed, flipping through the channels, gradually getting more and more desperate as you realize that despite the fact you can buy a porn movie called, Ugly Chicks And Guys with Small Dicks (also known as the state of Ohio summed up in seven words) the hotel doesn’t carry something like ESPN 2. Back in 2004, I went to a friend’s wedding on the same day as UT at Ole Miss. (This was in the days back when my team was decent.) You haven’t seen anger until you’ve gone back to your hotel room and realized the hotel doesn’t carry ESPN 2. Unless, that is, you’ve ordered a porno movie for $14.99 and it’s soft core. So I was pretty much resigned to the fact that Versus wouldn’t be included in my cable’s television package. Then, miraculously, it was. So I got to watch BYU at TCU. And now we know that BYU is done for BCS purposes thanks to their 32-7 loss that was never close. Most amazing stat of the game? BYU rushed 28 times for 23 yards. That TCU run defense is unbelievable. So now we start the one-loss team handicapping. Because this year’s BCS Title Game isn’t going to feature any undefeated teams. Count on it. Here’s a breakdown of the 9 most interesting games coming up this weekend. More »

I suppose even the genius who schedules Thursday night games at ESPN is entitled to a mulligan. That's the only explanation for how Florida State at N.C. State ended up tonight's featured game. N.C. State is 2-4 and Florida State is 4-1. N.C. State has taken down William and Mary and East Carolina, Florida State has looked decent except for the offensive implosion against Wake Forest. But Wake is an ACC juggernaut who has beaten FSU three times in a row so we're supposed to forgive that flaw. FSU opened as a 12 point favorite over N.C. State and let's be clear, I'm not even going to pretend this is the most interesting game tonight. Because it isn't remotely close to as good of a game as BYU at TCU. Even if "Jeopardy!" stud Ken Jennings thinks BYU sucks. More »

BYU clocks in at #17 in our college football previews. Much thanks go out to all of you who offered to preview BYU earlier this week. The most rapid responder was CGB who not only writes using his initials but also blogs at CollegeGameBalls.com. By god, the initials match the blog. What a coincidence. Enjoy. More »
