As The Old Joke Goes, She's Out With A Womb
Considering we don't, you know, pay all the collegiate athletes who bring in so much money for their universities, an athletic scholarship is the holy grail, the precious, the one benefit to spending so much time training and sweating. So one can't lose it, lest the whole matter go to waste....
Some Minor Changes Around These Here Parts
You might have noticed some changes around here — not least of which tech issues that didn't allow us to put up our first post until 10 a.m. — so we thought we'd try to walk you through the best we understand, which is to say, not much at all....
Time To Remind Everyone Of The Clemens Steroid Business Again
As we prepare for the annual Somebody Ask Roger Clemens To The Prom sweepstakes, Seth Mnookin reminds everyone that Clemens is pretty much as tied to steroid rumors as Barry Bonds is....
Buckeyes Tend To Look Old
The man on the left, Ohio State head coach That Matta, is two years younger than the man on the right, Florida coach Billy Donovan. There must be something in the water in Columbus that ages people prematurely. At this time next year, Mike Conley Jr. is going to look like Laurence Fishburne....
One Of These Men Does Not Play Basketball
The guy in the middle sent this picture into us ... some of the Florida Gators were nice enough to pose for a shot with him at a TGI Friday's last June. It's weird that Taurean Green, Al Horford, and Corey Brewer all smile politely for the camera, while Joakim Noah stands there with no expression on...
That Was A Dress Rehearsal, Right?
It was just so thoroughly disappointing. I won't believe that the hype was unwarranted; it absolutely was. All the ingredients were there for a fantastic evening of basketball, but it never happened. It was never what it should have been. I feel like I just watched The Godfather III....
The Final Four Open Thread
I'm afraid I won't be with you for tonight's basketball festivities — I decided to try actually watching a game without a keyboard in front of me. I don't know what that's going to be like, but I've heard it's wild....
Gus Johnson: Get On The Dance Floor!
Because the NCAA Tournament is never quite the same once Gus Johnson leaves — a week earlier this year, dammit — someone who knows how to use that audio software on your computer that we never understand has put together a Gus Johnson remix, featuring some of his greatest moments set to one of them ...
Prepare For 33 Percent Less Joe Buck
It looks like those who feel you have just the right amount of Joe Buck in your life are about to be disappointed: He's not hosting the FOX pregame this upcoming football season....
"The Ball Is Tipped ..."
Because we are just more than two days away from the Final Four, we thought we'd all work ourselves up into a sappy, cheesy frenzy with the good ole "One Shining Moment." Never before has something so horrible felt so, so right. (Note: Everything horrible feels right, actually.)...
Your Final Four Pants Party Update
All right, with just three games left in the NCAA Tournament, we thought we'd check in with the ole D—-spin Pants Party NCAA Tournament pool....
Fun With Misprinted T-Shirts
This seems to happen every year, but we still get a kick out of it: It's the Final Four T-shirt that gets put together a wee bit too early. Forgive Hoyas fans who buy this as a taunting joke and Tar Heels fans who grab it just to imagine what might have been, had they remembered the basic tenet of p...
NCAA Tourney Blogdome: Table For Four
Around the blog and back on Sunday's games in the NCAA Basketball Tournament ......
From A Rote Tourney Comes A Thrilling Final Four
Of all the little traditions of college basketball, our favorite might be the cutting down of the nets. It's something unique to the game of basketball; in other sports, it's the fans who cause the on-field destruction after a victory. (And we're damn good at it too.) We do always worry a little abo...
We've Got Our Four
I asked for a game that would be close at the end, and technically, I didn't really get it. Overtime, as it turned out, was a time for beating some Tarheel ass. Georgetown trailed the entire game, managed to tie it up on a late Jonathan Wallace three, and then Carolina just decided they didn't feel...
That's A Whole Lot Of Points
That was a lively little half of basketball. The pace, you'd have to think, favors North Carolina. There are 94 points on the board already, a total that has to be as uncomfortable for Georgetown as the 27 dogtags that Patrick Ewing Sr. is wearing....
Wouldn't Be A Final Flour Without Florida
The wheels were very very slow to come off for Oregon. They fought and they battled, and they were in the game with under a minute left ... but it always sort of felt like a slow death march for the Ducks, as you knew that foul trouble and Florida's advantage in the paint would kill them at some poi...
Florida Overcomes Some Ugliness
Florida spent the first ten minutes of the game handling the ball like the handsome gentleman who spent so much time attempting to fix the net. They looked extremely uncomfortable to start the game, turning the ball over and being totally out of sync....
Gators vs. Ducks, Coming At You
The tournament's lowest-remaining seed is about to take the court against the defending national champions ... though it's not quite the underdog story that those two facts might lead you to believe. Florida is favored by 7, though....
