Scheduling a Huge Sunday In Sports
Apparently the e-Cameron Crazies are not handling the loss very well over at the Duke Basketball Forums. Perhaps one day they will recover. Fortunately the rest of us are ready to move on, and we have an amazing day of sports waiting for us. Continue after the jump for a full breakdown of the day's...
March Madness Up All Night
The night games are finally wrapping up, and the late night session is already underway off in Denver. My Pitt Panthers, led by the one and only Levance Fields, is matched up against a tough Michigan State team and I will not be live blogging for fear of getting way too emotional. I've long been a S...

Live Blogging the Late Afternoon Games
It's been a bit crazy, what with Duke losing and posts reproducing themselves, but I'm ready to go for the late afternoon games. As you can see, Wisconsin and Kansas State are well underway. In fact, they've just gone into the half with a score of 39-33 in favor of the third-seeded Badgers. Beasley...

Sports Illustrated Can't Spell
The powers that be at Sports Illustrated like to put out regional covers for certain special issues, the NCAA Tournament preview being one such example. It's a nice thing to do because it allows several different college players to appear on the cover of sport's most iconic magazine who might not n...
Ovechkin Hits the Magical 60! (It's Hockey)
Normally I'm not one to drone on about hockey, but Alex Ovechkin is deserving of some serious love. Washington's franchise player franchise reached a key milestone while leading the Capitals to within a point of the final playoff spot. I'm not sure I'm qualified to tell you the details, so I'll let...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you say goodbye to the current NCAA 3-point line ... • College basketball: NCAA Division I tournament, first round (noon and 7 p.m., ET).

Red Sox, A's Look Like They'd Rather Not Be In Japan
The Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's landed in Japan yesterday — their series starts Tuesday at 6 a.m. ET — after an 18-hour flight. We've never taken an 18-hour flight, but if we did, the last thing we'd want as soon as we got off the plane would be a bunch of photographers ready to take our picture....
Obama Vs. McCain: The Only Way To Decide
Barack Obama's NCAA Tournament office pool brackets vs. John McCain's: It's a battle for the ages, the likes of which America hasn't seen since the great Lincoln-Douglas baseball rotissierie league showdown of 1859.

Friday NCAA Live Blog: 12:20 ET Games
All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith! We are not so certain, however, that today's games will be any better than yesterday's. (Duke-Belmont excepted.) The early games aren't inherently promising. We have Gonzaga...

For One Night, We Were All Vince Gill
The initial rush of excitement that the NCAA Tournament brings us often disguises the fact that the games themselves sometimes disappoint. The upsets we crave, the upsets that excite us about all this in the first place — the first weekend is always more of an "event" than the national championship...
