NCAA: Clemson 73, Maryland 70 — Who can blow a 20-point lead with 11 minutes left? Garyland can.
NBA: Rockets 103, Nuggets 89 — Yao Ming can just stay gone, at least so long as there's a Mutombo around to sex.
NHL: Red Wings 4, Sabres 2 — March looks like it might go a little better for Detroit.

Watch Your Field Hockey Updates, Buddy
You might remember the NCAA's idiotic decision to ban live-blogging from the press box during the College World Series last year. Well, they've adjusted the policy a bit this year ... in a pretty hilarious way. More »

Surely, President Bush's Favorite Day Of The Year
Occasionally, when President Bush meets a sports team that has won a title, it means something. When the Red Sox visited after winning the World Series in 2004, not only was it a historic victory, but it also allowed Curt Schilling — who had campaigned heavily for Bush after the Red Sox won — to receive a pat on the back from the Prez. (Oh, and thanks for that, Curt.) The day the Red Sox visited in the White House, or the day the Cardinals did, those days meant something. More »

The Familiar Story Of The Oppressed Crocheting Running Back With The Collapsed Lung
In a November 11th game against San Jose State, Boise State running back Ian Johnson suffered a collapsed lung and cracked ribs. And just in case the young man's spirits weren't low enough, the NCAA decided to stop in and take away his main source of income, which happens to be crocheting hats and scarves. More »

The Value Of College Athletes
Ever wonder how much money an individual player was worth to a university? So did Robert Brown, a professor at Cal State-San Marcos who has spent 15 years studying the value of college athletes. He put together a formula to estimate how much members of last year's North Carolina and Illinois basketball teams meant to their schools. More »

Those Lovable Michigan Scamps
Well, according to more than one Deadspin tipster a highly involved(and evolved) prank was executed on the MSU student body over the weekend during Saturday's Michigan State/Michigan basketball game. Some students at the University of Michigan posed as Big 10 interns to distribute cards to unsuspecting Izzone darlings which were supposed to say "GO STATE." Instead, they said "GO BLUE".(The above picture is what it was supposed to look like.) One of the pranksters has given us full detail of how this time-consuming, maniacal prank was executed. Apparently, 625 members of the MSU student body held up the phony cards at one point, dumbfounded by the cruel Punk'd-like ruse set upon them: More »

Just in Time for Tax Season
Fantastic post by the Wizard of Odds, highlighting the Ohio State autograph shilling non-controversy, which seems a little sketchy considering some of these non-professional athletes are making six-figure incomes during "autograph season." According to the Wiz—via the Cleveland Plain Dealer—, some OSU players—including probable first-round linebacker A.J. Hawk—are involved in this pastime that many a senior has participated in through the years. Today, the Wizard of Odds updates his story, claiming that this is standard practice at many big-time universities. More »

Mike Davis Starts to Shop for Luggage
Surprise! Well, not really. Embattled Indiana Hoosiers head coach Mike Davis will, according to numerous reports, announce his resignation during a news conference at some point today, ending the weeks of speculation about his job security. According to the stories, Davis will finish the rest of the season and has settled on a buy-out for the rest of his contract with Indiana. Obviously, some people saw this coming. More »

Oskee-Wow-Wow
We are honored — since we've mentioned it only sparingly, though expect that to change as college hoops gets going — that so many of you have noted that we are proud graduates of the University of Illinois and have asked our opinion of the NCAA ruling that the Chief Illiniwek nickname and "symbol" are unacceptable, banning the school from hosting any postseason games until they change the name. (This means, of course, that the school won't be able to host women's basketball or volleyball NCAA tournament games, costing the university dozens of dollars.) More »
