Gerald Henderson, In The Time Warner Arena, With An Errant Pass
There was only one place Gerald Henderson's wayward pass was landing and the poor lady never saw it coming. She's like one of those mechanical duck's shuffling along a target range game at the carnival and Gerald Henderson is the deadest shot in the county. ...

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...

Kentucky's "Perfect Season" Marketing Blitz Didn't Work Out
The thing with talking about (let alone selling merchandise hyping) a 40-0 season is that perfect seasons very rarely work out. It's exceedingly more likely that you'll lose, then everyone will point out the fact that you sold t-shirts, and you'll become a punchline. Like those shirts over there! ...

Under Armour: Those Bloody Flag Jerseys Are Not Bloody Flag Jerseys

Northwestern's Very Literal "Wounded Warrior" Unis Have Blood Spatters
Northwestern will be wearing these very special uniforms against Michigan on Nov. 16. Having been beaten down by the ubiquity of one-off unis, it's hard to get upset about the asymmetrical patriotic mishmash. It's even tough to muster up outrage over the fact that just 10 percent of proceeds from je...

Nicki Minaj Performed At Villanova's Hoops Mania
An elderly basketball coach sits at a desk in his home study. Framed pieces of netting adorn the walls and 60 Minutes is on the television as he reads scouting reports. His attention turns to the computer. An email from Jay Wright....

Hail Mary Play Works Right Up Until The Runner Goes Out Of Bounds
Abilene Christian is in its first year playing NCAA Division I football, and as an FCS independent the Wildcats are feeding from the bottom of the bottom of the "big time" college football food chain. Despite that, they had a chance to knock off FBS team New Mexico State tonight, & came within a fe...

Northwestern Walk-On Receives Full Scholarship, Hugs From Entire Team
Senior guard James Montgomery has spent two years walking on for Northwestern, getting a grand total of 124 minutes. But new head coach Chris Collins has apparently been so taken with Montgomery's effort in practices, he called a team meeting to announce that Montgomery will be receiving a full sch...

John Sterling Will Call The <em>Kitten Bowl</em>
As counter-programming to the Puppy Bowl, (and as counter-counter-programming to the Super Bowl), the Hallmark Channel has announced it will air the Kitten Bowl on Feb. 2. It will be just like the Puppy Bowl, only with more assholish animals....

There's A New Contender For The Worst Mistake On A Kickoff Return

Ohio University Marching 110 Does It Again, Covers Ylvis' "The Fox"
The last time we checked in on the Ohio University Marching 110, they were doing a "pretty good" rendition of Psy's "Gangnam Style." (Their performance of "Party Rock Anthem" isn't bad, either.) But during halftime of last night's bout against Marshall, the 110 gave their take on The Song Of The Su...
