Credit Luke Loucks for the masterful court vision in getting down the floor and finding Snaer. [ESPN] More »

In fact, they were already in the locker room, as they'd been pulled out of the arena along with the rest of UNC's scholarship players—leaving five walkons to face the storm of Seminoles fans as they rushed the court. (Keep an eye on the FSU fan who hangs on the net, leaving a portly security guard to try and get him down.) [ESPN] More »

1) Douglas 3:16 says "You just got scalped." Florida State point guard, ACC first teamer, and conference player of the year runner-up Toney Douglas was born on March 16th, 1986. Douglas shares this remarkable day of birthing with several celebrities, including the gorgeous Brooke Burns, the hot-but-not-as-hot-as-Brooke-Burns Nicole Trunfio, everyone's favorite Tiger Curtis Granderson, Eddie's kid Wolfgang Van Halen, fellow college hoops star Blake Griffin, the illustrious Flavor Flav, and comedian Jerry Lewis. Lewis, of course, is huge in France, where he was recently inducted into the French Legion of Honor. Also big in France? Another scoring point guard named Tony, Tony Parker. More »

The Seminole fan blog I Bleed Garnet and Gold has what is reported to be an eyewitness account of the proceedings and this was not your typical 3 o'clock schoolyard shoving match. Unless your school used WWE-style hardcore tactics and face stabbings.
"Well, it all started on {last week} Thursday when they started fighting at Floyd's over some girl. Then yesterday at the union, a group of WR's jumped the sigmas in the union. It turned into an all out brawl. The Sigmas were getting dragged up the stairs of Moore Auditorium and thrown through tables. Someone got stabbed in the face with a pencil. A girl trying to split up the fight got punched in the face and another girl was hit in the face with a chair because a Sigma threw a chair at [WR Corey] Surrency and he ducked."
Whoa. Also, the whole thing is supposedly on tape—whether security camera or otherwise, is not clear, but keep your eyes peeled because it's sure to surface eventually. Oh, and just to add a little more flavor to this whole story, a former Tallahassee resident wrote in to explain that Floyd's is a bar that is housed "in mini-mall next to a bowling alley and (I swear to god) the florida state anthropology department." Yes, the anthropology department at Flordia State University is in a strip mall. This story can only get better.
