Hey everyone! Got a calendar handy? I do,
right here on my trusty Apple Newton , and
yep, just as I thought: it's still July. That means that there's really not all that much going on, and that we still have time to argue about things not as wholly ...

When it's a school's night to shine, everybody
shines. Cops included. This snippet comes from an AP
article discussing the national title celebrations that went down back in Lawrence last night . I found it amusing. An hour after the ...

Do you realize, Phelps, that the whole foundation
of your career as a broadcaster is that you
have a highlighter that matches your tie? Does that make you feel proud? For (bleep)'s (bleep)ing sake, Phelps, please, at some point, feel free to say something that lets people know that you used to coach basketball.

Through some investigative reporting, I've gotten my hands
on a couple of entries. From an Illinois student:
Traitor, Eric Gordon / You are a disgrace / You chose another school / So I'll throw bricks at your face / I'm mad because we suck / But my anger is not misplaced / I'm going to cut off your head / Because we need something to fill our trophy case

Evidently, this past weekend, some Oregon State players
challenged some Washington players to a fight in a
hotel parking lot. That's a brilliant move. In fact, I was just reading about that in John Wooden's book. It was discussed in Chapter 9, "What to do when you suck at basketball, have little else to live for, and would like to drag somebody down with you, you ignorant Beaver, you."

If you happen to be organizing the Selection
Show-watching party for the San Diego Toreros, and you're
asking each member of the team to bring something to the party, you might not want to ask freshman forward Rob Jones to bring the Kool-Aid. Jones is the grandson of Jim Jones, the murderous nutjob who convinced over 900 people to kill themselves by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in 1978.

Two torturous ad campaigns in recent memory stand
out to me: 1) The Applebee's guys singing the
Gilligan's Island song, but with the lyrics changed to something about shrimp, and ... 2) The two Cingular guys, one of whom had Cingular, and thus, always had good coverage, and was kind of a dick about it. This year, Coke Zero's going to kill you.

This one's for the bosses out there. 7.
Ask yourself two questions: What would Michael Scott do,
and what would Bill Lumbergh do? And then decide which of those two you'd rather be. Michael used to gather his employees to watch Varsity Blues on Monday. Lumbergh made Peter come in on a Saturday.

You've surely heard by now: Duke lost to
West Virginia earlier today, a product of both the
Mountaineers' strength -- Joe Alexander went for +20 and +10 yet again, and Bob Huggins got a near triple-double from reserve point guard Joe Mazzulla -- and the Dookies' inability to turn themselves from unathletic, three-point shooting team into a tourney-ready squad. A less humble blogger would here ...

If there's one thing about the NCAA Tournament
that feels sad, it's that its first weekend is
its best. That's all well and good for us on, say, Wednesday; the tension and angst and anxiety make the first weekend of the tournament seem like a ...

Thank goodness Junior didn't inherit the old man's
knees, or he'd never be able to pull of
something like this: That's one of the better college dunks you'll ever see. It certainly stirred something in Drew Neitzel. The way he congratulated ...

Who is Feinstein , and why should an

out of Washington University in St. Louis , who happen to be the 2008 Division III National Champions. So why should an NBA team draft him? Well, they ...

I'd rather see the reward go to a
conference's best team, as opposed to a team who
happened to get hot and string a few wins together at the end of the season. Look at VCU, who was three games better than anyone else in their conference. They might end up sitting at home watching William & Mary go dancing in their spot.

Unfortunate Update: The Youtube police have attacked, and
thus removed this video. For the time being, you're
going to have to use your imagination. If Bob Knight's made nothing else clear in his time at ESPN, it's that he's not going to talk about ...

Below, we've got a couple of looks at
the game-tying Mario Chalmers shot that will live forever
in CBS tournament promo packages. It includes the original call by Nantz, the CBS replay, and then a quasi-breakdown from me of how Chalmers was able ...

In any major American sport, I've always quickly
dismissed the notion that a college team could compete
with a professional team. I've always laughed at any assertion that the best of USC football teams over the past few years could've stayed ...
