So That's Why Everyone Hates Duke
Duke basketball is quite good, but not like Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong good. They haven't won the ACC conference since 2006, they haven't been to the Final Four since 2004, and they haven't won the title since 2001. So it's not like there aren't other squads that are equally deserving targets of...

Offer LSU Kids Free Beer And They'll Burn Anything
On Saturday we posted about LSU fans burning Nick Saban in effigy, which seemed rather hateful and extreme, even for them.

All-Purpose Pitching Machine Also Teaches Kids Not to Lie

The College Football Playoff You've Been Pining For? It's Happening Right Under Your Nose
For those of you that clamor for a nice, tidy bracket of four, eight, or 16 teams in the last week of November, pay attention.

How Much Do LSU Fans Hate Nick Saban? The Coonass Bowl Is Upon Us

Lute Olson Soap Opera Gets A Little More Creepy
It's safe to say that the last couple years of Lute Olson's life have been difficult.
