When Ya Gotta Go ...
Sometimes, the call of nature is so powerful that it cannot be overcome. We know. We've been there. You might be in an inconvenient location, but whaddya gonna do? Just ask Kansas State forward Bill Walker....
Jesus And Leprechauns
• He Got Clutch. How in the world does Boston keep pulling off these ridiculous wins? Wait! Don't answer that. I don't want to know. Ray Allen nailed a deep 3 at the buzzer after Eddie House — Eddie House! — knocked away Jason Richardson's inbounds pass to give Boston the 96-95 win, their third stra...
Not A Good Night To Be A Duck
With everything else going on and dominating those sports pages of ours, it almost passed notice that the BCS race imploded again last night with Oregon's loss to Arizona. It also obliterated Dennis Dixon's Heisman chances; he's not likely to play the rest of the season. All told, a rather eventful ...
This Morning, Ashley Judd Weeps
The college basketball season has barely started — really, it hasn't, not at all — and we've already had three ridiculous upsets (even if two didn't count). This is a welcome break; if you'll remember the NCAA tournament last year, we barely had any. We hope this is a good sign....
Chase Is Living the Life
I'm not sure if this picture is from Halloween or if Arizona sophomore Chase Budinger is just a big fan of Larry Bird, but that hardly matters. Who wouldn't want to be a basketball player at the U of A (One lucky soul even got the privilege of being my neighbor for a couple of seasons)? You're alway...
Coach Is Taking Some Personal Days
Legendary Arizona Wildcats coach Lute Olson surprised everyone with yesterday's announcement that he's leaving the team for an undisclosed amount of time, effective immediately....
In The '60s, The Wildcats Knew How To Party
Shannon Ragland, a Louisville-based self-published author, has written a new book claiming the a Kentucky-Xavier football game in 1962 was "fixed." Everyone's denying it, of course, but that's not even the best part. According to the book, old Kentucky players would receive blow jobs from dudes for ...
One Way To Sustain College Football Interest
We've purposely made the thumbnail picture as small as we can, because what follows, after the jump, from the Kentucky-Florida game this weekend, is disturbing and Not Safe For Work. There. You have been warned....
She's Like The Biff From The Future!
We know this story's from a couple of weeks ago, but we're still rather entranced about it: The mother of a recent Kentucky Wildcats basketball recruit is a real, live prophet....
NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow
As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over ...
Kige Ramsey Is No Sell Out!
It appears our friend Kige is growing larger than we ever could have imagined: He's now doing paid advertisements....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while contemplating the universe ... • NFL, preseason: Three fumbles, one interception and a sack. Yep, the Bears' Rex Grossman is right on schedule. • MLB: Brewers back for a share of first and a handful of those Spanish peanuts ... • Little League: World Series, rained out, which m...
Dicky Lyons Is One Dope Dude
Dicky Lyons is a wide receiver for the Kentucky Wildcats, and despite his seemingly less-than-chiseled-athlete physique, he's one of their better players. And he also seems like as amiable a doofus as you could possibly meet....
Arizona Is Prettier Than Tennessee, And Knows It
Last night — in ESPN programming we were not watching — the Arizona Wildcats softball team beat Tennessee 5-0 to win the NCAA Championship. One of the fun aspects of NCAA softball is that, if you have one good pitcher, she can just pitch every game. Tarnye Mowatt pitched all 60 innings for the Wildc...
Viva Los Gatos De Bob!
A reader — who said the "mosh pit" in which he was residing involved a considerable amount of passing it around — attending the Coachella Music Festival on Sunday took this photo of Adam Morrison during the Rage Against The Machine show. That really is a Che Guevara flag wrapped around his neck. We ...
Much Anger In Aggieland
It would be safe to say that Texas A&M fans aren't handling the loss of Billy Gillespie to Kentucky very well....
From One Billy To Another
According to the estimable Pat Forde at The Leader, Billy Gillespie is leaving Texas A&M to become the new coach at Kentucky. Wildcats fans seem mostly pleased by the move, though they're still clearly recovering from their Billy Donovan envy....
