The 2009-10 NSF Mid-Major Tour-stravaganza

For those of you who know me pretty well, you know that I have an unhealthy, bordering on overwhelming affection for small conference college basketball.
Even after going to a Pac-10 school for undergrad, an ACC school for grad school and spending most of my springtime Saturday’s catching up with major conference hoops, I’m the guy [...]

T-Hans Will Find Your Lost Puppy

 
Not only did he go 4-0 at Cameron Hansbrough Indoor Stadium against Duke…and holds the ACC and North Carolina scoring records….AND always looks suprised about everything, but Tyler Hansbrough will also find your dog if he is lost. Is there anything this man cant do?
Nope.

I think I’ll Just Stay Over Here

So we now have a reason why the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted all of those point guards earlier this year. The Timberwolves first round pick (and 5th overall) Ricky Rubio has decided that rather than leave Spain for the NBA he’s just going to stay in Europe.
Rubio cited the 5 million buyout clause [...]

I Guess it’s a Good Thing They Didn’t Win the Title?

 
As of today, the 2007-2008 season for the Memphis Tigers basketball team is officially non existent. Thats right, the Tigers are being forced to forfeit all 38 wins from the season in which the reached the Final Four and would have won the National title had they been able to hit one f*cking free throw [...]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Are you serious?! Greg Paulus is going to be the starting quarterback for the Syracuse Orange this season?! This has got to be a joke, right? The same Greg Paulus who didnt lead Duke to National Title in basketball and went 2-6 against their biggest rival (0-4 at Cameron Indoor) while in Durham?
I honestly dont [...]

There’s Something So Unsettling About This

It’s the game sensation that’s sweeping the nation…”Which One Is Shaq?”
Let’s see how many funny comments I can come up with in 20 seconds…
“20 minutes later, the panda was declared ‘Shaqalicious’ as he downed it during dinner.”
“Much like Suns fans, the bear seems easily bored even around The Big Shaqtus.”
“Upon meeting the bear, Shaq told [...]

That Was It?!

 
It took awhile, but we all knew the video of Lebron James getting dunked on by Xavier University sophmore Jordan Crawford would eventually surface. TMZ made it seem like they were the only ones who had the exclusive video and were pimping it all morning long. Then they released their version of it and it [...]

T’Wolves “Q” It Up

Quentin Richardson was just traded for the 217th time this offseason. Actually it was just the 3rd time, but it has been 3 times in the past 25 days. He was traded from New York to Memphis on draft night. From Memphis to the Los Angeles Clippers 3 days ago. And now from L.A. to [...]

What Are The Suns Doing?

The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a 2-year contract extension with all-star point guard Steve Nash. That’s good news right?
WRONG!
What on earth is this team doing? The Suns did not even make the playoffs last year and they havent done a thing to improve themselves. They re-signed Grant Hill…a nice signing, but can he stay healthy again this season? [...]

College Athletes Aren’t Getting Their Meds Covered

This should get you pretty angry.
Brandon and I, and most of our reading audience, spend a significant part of our lives following, watching and agonizing over college sports.
I’ve always thought it was a very noble thing to don the logo and colors of your school and sacrifice your time and well being for the benefit [...]
