Nebraska Wants "B.G." To Be Its Next Basketball Coach, According To Voicemail Left With Wrong Person [UPDATE]

Cornell Defender Sends Her Team To The Frozen Four On Dazzling Goal In Triple Overtime
Lauriane Rougeau sent Boston University packing, and the season high home crowd of 2,143 Cornell fans into hysterics, when she slipped this one past the goalie to end what amounted to two full games of hockey played. Cornell won the wild game, that featured a three-goal-comeback by each team, 8-7....

Penn State Students Get It Right With The "Blue Out"
A Nittany Lions football game is going to happen tomorrow, whether we're ready for it or not. It was never going to not happen, no matter how hyperbolic the calls for death penalties both literal and figurative. It would be nice if there could be more clarity to a murky situation by game day, but co...
If Tom Verducci Thinks Justin Verlander Pitched Like Bob Gibson, Tom Verducci Has No Idea Who Bob Gibson Is
Look, please, for pity's sake: Justin Verlander pitched a mediocre game last night. Craggs already said his piece about the frantic efforts of the sports press corps to sculpt the pile of horse poop Verlander left on the pitcher's mound into a living, breathing unicorn. The relentlessly genial Joe P...
Surfer Twatster Hannah Cornett Will Catch Those Who Distributed Her Facebook Updates, Facebook Status Says
We haven't heard from our girl in a while, since she's been very reluctant to contact us, except through her attorney, of course. Some good news to report from her dizzy little world: whatever treacherous online ordeal she feels she's endured since our first story ran, she's now got the swift arm of...
It's Better To Fall On A Blocked Punt Than Run 25 Yards In The Wrong Direction
The AP account of Cornell's 31-7 win over Wagner points out that, in addition to 3.5 sacks, Zack Imhoff "also had two forced fumbles and blocked a punt for Cornell." Balls-out game. But that doesn't do justice to a punt block that someone in Wagner gear scooped up and ran away from their desired e...

And...exhale. Not-so-pro surfer Hannah Cornett has retained the services of a Beverly Hills attorney named Michael Kernan to pull together a sloppy cease-and-desist letter to James Alesi (credit card sucker) and A.J. Daulerio (me!), accusing us of "libel, false claims, negligent misrepresentation" a...
Surfer Grifter Hits The Red Carpet At The Emmys, Possibly Responds To Allegations, Continues To Lie
The weird tale of Hannah Cornett has taken a turn for the weirder.

Then, on Sunda...
Hannah Cornett, The Surfer Grifter, Once Dated Tim Couch

Apparently she worked for the Browns in the early 2000s, and while under their employ as a web design...
The Surfer Grifter: The Weird Tale Of Hannah Cornett And Her $20K Vegas Hotel Bill (UPDATE)
The name on the hotel room at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas was Hanna Cornett. Sometimes she goes by Hannah, with two H's. Her Wikipedia page describes her as a "professional actor, surfer, and model." Her age is usually given as 29, but she's two years older than that. According to some of her onli...
New Hampshire Salutes World Champion Bruins In Most New Hampshire Way Possible: With A Corn Maze
This is a 12-acre corn maze at Sherman Farm in idyllic Conway, N.H., where the farmers live free or die and also have too much time on their hands. Their work has gotten some press, and the folks at Sherman Farm are rather astounded by the reaction. After Puck Daddy picked up the story earlier today...
Future First Man Marcus Bachmann Eating A Corn Dog? Future First Man Marcus Bachmann Eating A Corn Dog.
