Bloggers Vs. Beefy Security Guards: WHO WILL WIN?
As much as we might enjoy the mental image of the Dallas Morning News' Tim McMahon, the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Kamenetzky and True Hoop's Henry Abbott pulling the old crouch-and-shove on a security guard and high-stepping it into the locker room, frantically typing while running around ina circle...

Will Cuban Ban The Almighty ESPN?
The Dallas Mavericks have a huge game tonight with the Los Angeles Lakers, and, whether Mark Cuban lets any bloggers in or not, we'll certainly be reading all about it on about 1,000 blogs. (OK, maybe 100.) Throwing down his gauntlet, Henry Abbott from ESPN's True Hoop is making the trip. He seems t...

Arkansas Razorbacks
1. Record Breaker. New coach John Pelphrey set the record for most wins by a first year head coach at Arkansas with 20 when the Hogs beat Auburn at home to finish the regular season. That isn't a minor feat when you realize two of the best coaches in history coached at Arkansas, Eddie Sutton and Nol...
Oregon Ducks
1. Should of Just Been a Duck. The Oregon student section, or The Pit Crew, was awesome enough to get mentioned (with an accompanying picture) in Sports Illustrated as one of the nastiest, most verbally abusive, over-the-line student sections in the country. Oh wait, not so awesome. When Portland na...
St. Joseph's Hawks
1. How Many Passes before You Shoot? Hawks sophomore guard Garrett Williamson came to Saint Joseph's from Lower Merion High School, where he was the second all-time leading scorer, behind Jelly Bean Bryant's kid. Somehow in the transition to college, he turned "scorer" into "defensive specialist" an...
Kansas Jayhawks
1. Joe Morgan disapproves. According to the VORPies over at Basketball Prospectus, Kansas has the #1 Pythagorean winning percentage in all the land. In addition, they are ranked #1 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. I have no idea what this means (other than Mario Chalmers clogging up the b...
Texas Arlington Mavericks
1. You Ain't From Around Here, Are Ya, Boy? Ten of the eleven players listed as eligible on the UTA roster are from the state of Texas. The eleventh is 6'1" Guard Brandon Long, who hails from Richton Park, Illinois. The Junior was scoring 12 ppg before an injury vs. Texas Christian put him out for t...
Hank Steinbrenner's Picking Verbal Fights With Everyone Now
It truly is admirable the way that the son of George Steinbrenner is distancing himself from his father in an attempt to look like his own man. After all, Hank Stein's tirades as of late have created an entirely different yet equally powerful fiefdom of crazy. He's railed against Red Sox Nation, the...
One Year Since Isiah Showed "Evident Progress"
It's a historic day, everyone, one whose importance almost slipped by us. Today, it has been one year since James Dolan saw "evident progress" from the New York Knicks and extended Isiah Thomas' contract. Boy, did that ever work out well....
Mark Cuban Dislikes Bloggers Who Aren't Him
We know. You're like us. You've always wished professional sports owners could be more like Mark Cuban. He's cool! He's like a real fan! He has a blog! He's not afraid to pick a nonsensical fight with Midwesterners! But, alas, we should perhaps not be too surprised: He's as bad as the rest of them....
Those Bruins Are A Charmed Bunch
Following the debacle against Stanford Thursday and now yesterday's flap over Josh Shipp's over-the-backboard shot to beat Cal, a lot of folks are making a hue and cry about UCLA being quite the officiating darlings of late....
They Hate Each Other And We Hate Them
The night before the series finale of The Wire, it's great to be treated to the whitest spectacle in college basketball, UNC versus Duke. The ACC regular season title is on the line for the fifth time in the series' history, which means the Cameron Crazies will have their rote chant sheets ready wit...

For A Minute There I Thought This Might Look Ridiculous
My first question before ordering one of these is, does it come in teal? Deuce of Davenport found this in a wrestling supply catalog, but I imagine that it could also come in handy on the basketball court, or just in the schoolyard to fend off bullies. Although there's always the danger of your head...
Ministry Is Now Writing NHL Fan Songs
Anyone who had that collegiate/postcollegiate fervor of metal-sledged revolution will remember the anarchic thrust of the band Ministry. Every time we listened to that band, we were convinced the world was collapsing all around us and only our youthful vigor could save it. Then the song would end an...
