Your Texas-Memphis Live Blog
Yes, the string of Texas-themed posts hits three, which hopefully propels someone to beat a No. 1 seed. That, or the 30,000 Longhorn fans in attendance. D.J. Augustin got the best of Derrick Rose last summer, but let's see what becomes of games that matter....

It is those two coaches who are coming in wit...
Your Xavier-UCLA Open Thread
The first of our the regional finals pits the seemingly charmed - sometimes suspiciously so - UCLA Bruins against those nutty Jesuit Musketeers. Is the dunking process of Derrick Brown enough to hold off KevLuv and Co., or is UCLA just an inevitable tournament runner-up? Let's just stay out of the S...

Southerners and the Civil War. That's perhaps the one group of people more single-mindedly embittered by an event than Seahawks fans and Super Bowl XL.

Looking for something to watch when the NCAA Tournament is over?

Hillary Will Play Despite The Sniper Fire
When I first saw this it looked rather stupid; a flash game pitting political figures against one another in rock, paper scissors.

Yep, a double take on that headline over here too.
