Who Would Win A Fight Between A Bruin And A Gator?
Perhaps there is something to the claims of those who say that all the early upsets in the NCAA Tournament has diminished interest in the late rounds; we're feeling a palpable lack of interest in tonight's national championship game between UCLA and Florida.

Amazon.com Has Your Potentially Flawed Merchandise

One Depressing Sports Weekend
We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major w...

Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half

It's A Final Four Pants Party
Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking fo...
