Belmont Bruins
1. Live by the Three... Belmont upset the Atlantic Sun conference's regular-season champion East Tennessee State on its home floor in the worst way possible — with a 94-67 rout underwritten by a flurry three-pointers. Belmont made 12 in the first half alone, including a desperation shot at the buzze...
Virginia Cavaliers
1. Liz Lemon is a Total Geek. You know her now as creator and star of the funniest show on Thursday nights, "30 Rock," but Tina Fey spent her time in Charlottesville avoiding keg parties and being a nerdy drama major. It all paid off two years after graduation from UVa with her acceptance into the r...
Virginia Commonwealth Rams
1. Like Father, Like Duke. Gerald Henderson Jr., he of the face-breaking adamantium elbows, is the son of VCU alum Gerald Henderson (fancy that!), the best NBA player to come out of the Commonwealth. We can only presume the elder Henderson acquired the How To Land Your Ulna Bone On The Bridge Of An ...
UNLV Runnin' Rebels
1. Viva Las Vegas, baby. Where else can you see pregame introductions featuring fireworks and flames shooting out of the shot clock as players come out on a red carpet? The band plays "Viva Las Vegas" leading into the infamous Reeeee-bels chant, members of the dance team make showgirls look like dog...
Wisconsin Badgers
1. Old School Quickies. Bucky Badger's full name is Buckingham U. Badger. Is Minnesota's Golden Gopher that sophisticated? I doubt it. The Badger mascot actually stems from when the territory was dubbed "The Badger State," not because of animals in the region, but rather an association with miners i...
Louisville Cardinals
1. Time to make the donuts. The Cardinals' late-season turnaround is due in large part to the emergence of Louisville's talented freshman class, including center Derrick Caracter. DC, who has footwork that Greg Oden would kill for, has gotten his act together after serving a pair of suspensions this...
Maryland Terrapins
1.We Burn Couches Better Than You. We Burn Couches....YES we do! Maryland has a history of causing town riots up and down Route 1 in College Park after meaningful victories (and losses). The most famous was in 2002, with 18 arrests, $10,000 worth of damage and eight trips to the hospital after the N...
Washington State Cougars
1. Worst to, well, second. Without question, Washington State was the single most surprising team in a BCS conference this year. Coming off a last-place finish last season, and with Tony Bennett taking over as a first-time head coach from his father, Dick Bennett, the media picked Washington State a...
Winthrop Eagles
1. Some Winthrop Firsts. 1886: Winthrop first opens its doors. 1972: Winthrop goes co-ed and allows its first males to enroll. August 20, 1977, 10:00 am: Freshman, and future actress Andie MacDowell first steps foot on campus. August 20, 1977, 10:01 am: The few pioneering men who broke the gender ba...
Stanford Cardinal
1. Dynamic Duo. In everyday life, seven-foot Stanford twins Brook and Robin Lopez are mild-mannered freshmen on the Cardinal's basketball team (some say a bit too mild mannered). But while not hiding behind their secret identities, they enjoy writing and drawing homemade comic books. "They draw thei...
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
1. The benefits of weed. When the Irish's starting point guard Kyle McAlarney was indefinitely suspended for having pot in the front seat of his car in late December, freshman guard Tory Jackson was immediately thrust into the starting spot. Although he still lacks K-Mac's consistency from behind bo...
UCLA Bruins
1. White guys from Orange County, brah! A lot of people make a big deal out of the fact that UCLA has 2 Cameroonians, a Canadian and a Serbian pimp (Facebook pictures don't lie) on the roster. That's just fine and dandy, but in all seriousness, what college team doesn't have a full UN committee on t...
Indiana Hoosiers
1. Larry Bird and What Might Have Been. The 1976 Indiana Hoosiers—the last undefeated team in men's college basketball history—are generally considered to be the second-best team of all time behind 1968 UCLA. But remember that West Baden/French Lick native Larry Bird was successfully recruited by Bo...
Greg Ostertag Plays Ping Pong Exactly Like You'd Expect Greg Ostertag To Play Ping Pong
What a thrill that must have been for this young man ... to launch ping pong balls in the direction of Greg Ostertag while he stands there expressionless and forces himself to occasionally move his arms just a tiny little bit. Lucky guy got to experience the same thing experienced by every opposing ...
You Know Who'd Make A Great Terrorist? This Guy
The New York Times was slightly bemused by the fact that a large bearded man with a gun was able to walk into Madison Square Garden this week with no security hassle. The Mountaineer, WVU's mascot, cruised into Madison Square Garden with his .45-caliber rifle, no questions asked....
Lars, You Scamp...
Ah, the plight of the female sports reporter. If someone's not making a video montage of your ass and putting it on YouTube, than a Norwegian skier is sitting behind you, gesturing that you suck cock. These women deserve raises. Every single one of them....
The New Buzzsaw Regime Supports Local Business
Richie Anderson, former NFL running back and recently hired as wide receivers coach of the Arizona Cardinals, was finding it difficult to make friends in his new community....

Wha? • We're wearing one of these right now. • Competitive wanking. • Billy Packer minister of information. • Father knows best. • Speaking of which, Tom Brady, hitting open receivers. • Peyton Manning...
It's Hard Out There For A Coach's Husband
We never imagined that life as the husband of a successful women's college basketball coach could be so stressful, but, you know, the ones that aren't relaxing by sleeping with their players could potentially make life tough on the guys....
