Watch A 101,300-Ton Bin Laden-Dumping War Machine Become A Basketball Court

UNC And Michigan State Will Wear Ugly Camo Uniforms In Game On Aircraft Carrier
Now is as good of a time as any to remind the world that in just a week and a half, two premier college basketball programs will be playing an actual game that will actually count on a giant aircraft carrier on the water in San Diego. And they'll be doing so, it turns out, in camouflage jerseys that...

Michigan State Beat Wisconsin Last Night On A Game-Ending Hail Mary TD Pass (Video)
Keith Nichol caught a throw from Kirk Cousins on the game's final play, but it was ruled a touchdown only after a replay review determined that Nichol did, in fact, cross the goal line with the ball.

How Things Work When An Athlete Gets In Trouble
Michigan State CB Chris Rucker got drunk and backed his car into another vehicle. It's the kind of thing that happens all the time, except for the part about the vehicle's owner, an MSU student, pleading with police to let Rucker go....

Gerard Butler's Michigan State Weekend

God Gave Mark Dantonio A Heart Attack For Beating Notre Dame, Says Soon-To-Be-Suspended Radio Guy
We said it's time to let the MSU/ND game go. Matt Patrick, of a South Bend talk radio station, should probably have read us before he insinuated that God struck Dantonio down for cheating against the Catholics....

Definitive Proof That Time Expired Before MSU's Miracle, And Why It Doesn't Matter
An enterprising soul has gone frame-by-frame and determined that the Spartans' ballsy fake should never have counted. And yet, the refs called the play exactly as they should have....

Weekend Winner: Sparty's Balls (If Not His Vascular System)

Do Not Make Eye Contact With Colts Fans; It Only Angers Them
Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day....

Now Is The Time For Your Tears

Tom Izzo Wins The Weekend
In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like the new unanimous choice for greatest coach in the history of world history. Improbably, that guy works for Michigan State....

Volunteers Vs. Conscripted From Birth: Your Tennessee-MSU Open Thread
The winner becomes the highest (lowest?) seed, yet the most boring team in the Final Four. We don't like our Cinderellas to be huge programs on a down year. Still, fun coaches. Follow along in the comments....

Onions Win The Weekend
In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like players who had the courage to take the big shot—no matter how ill-advised—and became heroes to small children everywhere. Don't you hate guys like that?...
