You Need Sunglasses To Watch This Team Play
College basketball is slowly tipping off, with a bunch of high-profile schools taking turns writing a check to places like Savannah State and Florida A&M and letting the backups get some work in while cruising to uninspired 25-point victories. (Our Illini begin this process tonight against old nemes...
50 Cent And Jay Wright, Best Pals
We knew 50 Cent had no problem with taking cash for somewhat embarassing gigs, but we still found it amusing that he, apparently justifying Villanova's tuition, showed up at coach Jay Wright's midnight madness bash last week. We just hope the Illini's Bruce Weber signed up REO Speedwagon....

Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Mid-American Conference
We must confess that we can't wait each year for the crunch of shoulder pads; for cleats churning up chunks of turf, and red-faced coaches screaming from the sidelines. But enough about lacrosse.
