Today is Super Tuesday in the world of politics, which means that we may actually know each party's nomination before we go to sleep tonight. With that in mind, we here at STF figured we might as well endorse the candidate that is best for college hoops world.

 Checking Out the Boise State Broncos
Checking Out the Boise State Broncos
I am nothing if not fickle in praising the underdog, which is not an uncommon affliction amongst those of us who love college sports. A few weeks ago I labeled Boise State as a team on the rise , despite some questionable losses. When a reader challenged my choice, I admitted that it might have been a shaky decision and opined that maybe I should have left the Broncos off the list.

 STF Road Trip - The Palestra
STF Road Trip - The Palestra
The love showered on the Palestra by college basketball nuts is well-earned. It's hot, cramped, lacks nearly every modern amenity, but it's absolutely gorgeous and charming. This was my first time in the greatest gym in America, so I'll let my photos do most of the talking.

Duquesne Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program Gets a Verbal Commitment
When you coach a team that hasn't gone to the Big Dance since 1977, it's time to get creative. And no, we don't mean "Nick Nolte in Blue Chips"-level creative. But a 5'8" high school sophomore? That's just crazy talk.

 Kansas is 6-0: Hello, Alamo Bowl!
Kansas is 6-0: Hello, Alamo Bowl!
I am the very definition of “cautiously optimistic” this week. On the one hand, it is wonderful to see the Jayhawks bowl-eligible this early in a season. On the other hand, walloping Baylor is not exactly a litmus test for greatness.

 My Chat with Jay Busbee
My Chat with Jay Busbee
An interview with sportswriter and blogger Jay Busbee. An excerpt: "God bless the Internet, though; it’s a lot easier dropping an email than the old-style way of mailing a query letter with a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) and waiting three, four weeks for a reply…or none."

 Roll With the Changes: How the Mid-Con became the Summit League
Roll With the Changes: How the Mid-Con became the Summit League
This story probably falls in that shadowy realm between what you actually care about as a dedicated college hoops fan, and what you feel like you probably should care about, but you can't quite muster the energy. So I'm going to care about it for you.

 Kerry Meier Does It All
Kerry Meier Does It All
In 2007, Todd Reesing has emerged as the main man under center, and Kerry Meier is his backup. But that’s not all he is. A true team player, Meier is using his athleticism to get in the game any way he can. He’s basically re-living the glory days of Punt, Pass, and Kick at the NCAA D-1 Level.

 Coolbaugh  Family Gets Playoff Share
Coolbaugh Family Gets Playoff Share
Mike Coolbaugh had only been coaching first base for the Tulsa Drillers for a few weeks before a line drive struck him in the head and killed him. To the players and administrators at Tulsa’s parent club, the Colorado Rockies, that makes no difference. Coolbaugh was family, and you take care of family. In this case, taking care of family means voting a full playoff share to Coolbaugh’s wife, ...

 Team Previews: #30 Clemson Tigers
Team Previews: #30 Clemson Tigers
WHAT'S TO LOVE: Clemson came on strong at the end of last year, despite being relegated to the NIT. K.C. Rivers is just beginning to realize his full potential after coming off of the bench for most of last season. WHATS NOT TO LOVE: Clemson has always been a middle-to-lower tier team in the ACC. That’s a hard habit to break. The key is to at least break even in-conference.

 Jay Bruce - Minor League Player of the Year 2007
Jay Bruce - Minor League Player of the Year 2007
Baseball America has selected OF Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds’ system as the 2007 Minor League Player of the Year. Bruce has certainly been seen in many minor-league ballparks this season, as he advanced from the A+ Sarasota Reds to the AAA Louisville Bats over the course of the 2007 season. He never faltered on that journey, ending his season with a .319 batting average,

Today we’ve been set up with a handful of photos via our good friend in blogging, MCBias. If you like your writing to approach the status quo with a healthy dose of skepticism, MC is your man. He has definite ideas about how blogging should grow, and how it should be conducted from an ethical standpoint. His most recent interview is a two-parter with WNBA star Erin Beuscher

 Babes of the Women's World Cup
Babes of the Women's World Cup
I still wanted to prove my brother wrong, so I searched the women’s world cup site for pictures of some soccer hotties. Sorry everyone, Team USA hot tamale Heather Mitts tore her ACL before the world cup and didn’t make the US squad.

 Porn Name All-Stars - The Mountain West Conference
Porn Name All-Stars - The Mountain West Conference
The Mountain West is a strange conference for this treatment. It ranges from the Mormon hotbed of BYU to Texas Christian University. It doesn’t sound like a place for porn names. But let’s remember - Jim McMahon went to Brigham Young, and I’m betting he figured out all kinds of interesting things to do with his dorm room door open and one foot on the floor.

 Mighty Mite Friday: It's Garrett Wolfe!
Mighty Mite Friday: It's Garrett Wolfe!
You’re 5 foot nothin’, 100 and nothin’, and you have more than a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 3 years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Northern Illinois. In this life, you don’t have to prove nothin’ to nobody but yourself. Am I making myself clear?
