Bethune-Cookman Wins Florida Classic With Gutsy Two-Point Conversion
Bethune-Cookman has been playing Florida A & M for nearly a century, and has come out on the wrong end of the scoreline far more often than they've won what's now known as the Florida Classic. (The worst? A 97-0 beatdown in 1960.) Things weren't looking too hot for them today, either, as the Rattler...
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Dunks Over 7'6" Mamadou N'Diaye
UC-Irvine's Mamadou N'Diaye is Division I's tallest basketball player at seven feet, six inches tall. Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson dunked over him tonight....
Kansas Coach Bill Self Takes 32-Point Beatdown With Humor
Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks were the fifth ranked team in the country going into Tuesday night's matchup against Kentucky, but they won't be for much longer after getting whooped 72-40. Kentucky is most people's preseason pick to be the NCAA Champion, and they certainly looked the part as their le...
Northwestern Players Were Goddamned Psyched About Getting Chick-fil-A
Upset Notre Dame in overtime, on the road? Whatever. Get Chick-fil-A for a postgame spread? "This is the best day ever!" It's good to be a champion. ...
Willie Cauley-Stein Gets Posterized By Some Dude From Buffalo
Willie Cauley-Stein is one of college basketball's top players and perhaps the game's best shot blocker. The projected first-round NBA pick decided unexpectedly to return to Lexington this year, though maybe he's regretting that choice after being posterized today by Buffalo's Justin Moss....

No. 6 TCU Beats Up On No. 7 Kansas State
The Horned Frogs are making their case for a spot in the playoff. A week after an offensive explosion, No. 6 TCU kept its foot on the gas, routing No. 7 Kansas State 41-20. The Wildcats were undefeated in the Big 12, and actually ahead of TCU, entering today's game. This adds to the shakeup of the t...
Northwestern Reaches New Low, Falls Down On Last Play, Loses
We told you earlier that Northwestern and Michigan were playing a hilariously bad contest today. Even with some points, the second half topped the atrocious first. More poor special teams, muffed punts and interceptions weaved throughout the half. Northwestern started one drive off an interception a...
Northwestern And Michigan Are Playing One Of The Worst Games Ever
Last year, Northwestern, donned in jerseys that looked like tattered flags, and Michigan battled to a 9-9 tie through four quarters. They've played only two so far today, but the game has managed to be much worse than last year's snore-fest....
The Radio Host Who Wouldn't Stick To Sports
Matt Jones, host of Kentucky's highest-rated radio program and co-founder of the scrappily independent Kentucky Sports Radio blog, describes himself as a "somewhat liberal, mountain, Eastern Kentuckian white guy." He adds, "There aren't a lot of those." This puts him at odds with his listeners, whos...
Rappers And Cats: A Complete History
Meow the Jewels is a real thing. What started as a joke—with Run the Jewels, the acerbically bombastic rap duo of EL-P and Killer Mike, offering to re-record their fantastic new sophomore album, Run the Jewels 2, with "nothing but cat sounds for music" if someone gave them $40,000—has bloomed into...

Drake Is Playing With The Kentucky Wildcats. Drake Sucks At Basketball.
Drake's newest favorite team is Kentucky, which, of course. He's working out with the Wildcats tonight at their midnight madness event, which, of course. It's being broadcast live on ESPN, which, of course. And Drake is terrible at basketball....
Javess Blue Hauls In Circus Catch Of The Season For Kentucky
If you haven't been paying attention, Kentucky is actually pretty good this year. They're currently destroying Louisiana-Monroe, and this ridiculous touchdown catch by Javess Blue is likely the kind of highlight you've never seen before from the Wildcats. ...
#2 Oregon Knocked Off By Pac-12 Officials, Also Arizona
The second-ranked Oregon Ducks fell at home tonight to Arizona 31-24, thanks in part to a ridiculous taunting penalty called at a crucial moment of the game....
Northwestern CB Matthew Harris Carted Off After Helmet-To-Helmet Hit

Officials Botch Blocked Punt In UTEP-KSU, Spend 12 Minutes Not Fixing
This is one of the more bizarre plays you'll see today. Kansas State blocked its second UTEP punt of the first quarter, only to see the entire play called back due to an inadvertent whistle. And it took 12 minutes—12 minutes!—for officials to realize and then verify that they screwed up....
University of Cincinnati RB Killed in Motorcycle Accident
University of Cincinnati redshirt freshman running back Chamoda Kennedy-Palmore was killed Thursday afternoon in a motorcycle accident. According to police, another vehicle turned across two lanes of traffic in front of Kennedy-Palmore, failing to yield the right of way, and was struck by his motorc...
