The Lovely Ladies Of Duke
Continuing their rather impressive rampage through the college basketball landscape that the Hoops Odyssey kids are on, they've found some rather, uh, spirited female Duke fans....
Your AL East "Preview"
All right, whether you're ready for it or not, baseball is starting Sunday night. (The Mets will watch the Cardinals raise their World Series title flag. The Cardinals won the World Series last year.) The full slate of games kick off Monday, so we figured it was time to start previewing some divisio...
Welcome To The House of Pain, Bitches
The Miami-Dade Community College chess team — as seen above — has steamrolled several Ivy League schools to reach the Intercollegiate Chess Final Four. Naturally, we demand a steroids investigation....
Hail, Hail, The Duke Is Dead, Long Live The Duke
We don't mean to imply that Virginia Commonwealth — the school where the band G.W.A.R. was founded, by the way — is extremely popular this morning, but The Truth About Duke Web site has VCU's logo as its background and we received six emails overnight simply with the phrase "GO RAMS!" in the subject...
The Day The Music Died
You know, it already just doesn't feel right without Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's just wrong. Wrong!...

Central Connecticut State Blue Devils
1. The Past. Central Connecticut State University, founded in 1849 as the New Britain Normal School, is the oldest public institution of higher education in Connecticut. "Famous" CCSU alumni in the world of sports include the good (Patriots salary-cap wiz Scott Pioli), the bad (deposed NFL head coac...
Duke Blue Devils
1. Duke Green. Not that the .500 record in ACC play this year was a tipoff or anything, but this is one of the youngest Duke squads in history. The only senior on this year's team is Joe Pagliuca, who's seen his minutes steadily decline from year to year: from 9 to 7 to 4 to 2. DeMarcus Nelson, the ...
Wait, Who's Teaching Whom Here?
You know, nothing is going to encourage kids to head out there and hit the books than an interactive reading session with Tampa Bay Devil Rays Shawn Camp and Rudy Lugo, particularly because each and every one of the kids is better at reading than Shawn Camp and Rudy Lugo. (Seriously, those SUPERSTAR...
The Devil Rays Suddenly Have A Fan
A couple of weeks ago, MJD told you about blogger Manny Stiles auctioning off his team loyalty, setting up an eBay auction (with proceeds going to AIDS research) for a bidder who would want him to write about his/her favorite team. It was a clever idea, and the bidding eventually reached $535....
Tar Heel Blue Nation Seeing Red Today, Not Surprisingly
A lot of vitriol flowing around the Web this morning, most of it aimed at Gerald Henderson and Duke. But none seemed more perturbed at the roundhouse elbow to the probiscus of Tyler Hansbrough than the Tar Heels men's cheerleading squad, who were in Henderson's face, dude! You do not want to anger p...
Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist
Of all the "Sweet Christ, Billy Packer is so full of equine excrement" moments, we have to say, the "Just Going For The Ball!" foul from Gerald Henderson on Tyler Hansbrough at the end of the Duke-UNC game is definitely near the top of the list. Whatever your thoughts on the reason for Henderson's a...

Give 'Em Hell, Sun Devils!
If you've ever spent significant time watching Pacific-10 Conference basketball, you'd most likely be surprised that there has never been a team that has finished winless in that conference: Not even the Ben Lindsey-coached Arizona Wildcats of 1982-83, which went 4-24 overall (they won two conferenc...
Coach K Is Now A Sexagenarian
So here's a little factoid for you: Today, February 13, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski turns 60 years old. It's strange to think of him as that old; not only does he continue to be that irrepressible lovable impish scamp that we all adore, but he also has retained his thick, lustrous black hair. (Becaus...
Can They Hold An NCAA Tournament Without Duke?
Much discussion today about a potentially big fun NCAA Tournament question: Is it possible that Duke could miss the field of 65? The Blue Devils have lost four in a row and have a ton of road games coming up. It still seems rather unlikely, but the real question is whether we should legitimately be ...
