Hey everyone, I am pretty sure most of you are out enjoying the end of the week at your favorite watering hole or eatery, but in case you are around, here is the post to chit-chat in throughout the night.
There are a few games of note to follow tonight, most notably the big match-up at MSG ...

North Carolina Tar Heels
Sparty, Mizerle06, PatPhish, and I had a conversation going, it started when Pat emailed asking if we waited in line all night to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon yet. Noticing the awkward trend that the conversation was going, I quickly jumped to my feet and gave my 10 best rivalries in ...
NCAA Football
Florida State Seminoles
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
There were only three games last night. The TNT doubleheader included the Suns at Hornets and the Bulls at Lakers. Peja Stojakovic led the Hornets past the Suns as the Hornets attempt to reinvent themselves in the absence of Chris Paul and Byron Scott. Deron Williams helped the Jazz beat the ...

San Antonio Spurs
Phoenix Suns
Utah Jazz
Pau Gasol
The Big Ten enters their final week of play this week, and quite honestly, if they want to complain about how long their layoff is, they should add a bye week into their scheduling or finally find a team to join and have a friggin conference championship. I honestly don’t think it ...

Kansas Jayhawks
Ohio State Buckeyes
Michigan Wolverines
So I hear the sad news that Chris Spielman lost his wife to breast cancer after a long battle. Upon checking out the site I found linked in a story, I noticed what I would deem an inappropriate autopatically generated Yahoo! ad for a web page devoted to breast cancer awareness and research ...

I cannot believe that this is the last Friday before Thanksgiving. Boy time flies when you are trying to finish school!
This is also the last Friday before ever shopaholic’s wet dream, and every man’s worst nightmare…Black Friday. Having been raised essentially by women my ...

Sparty was kind off enough to give me Thanksgiving off . This will allow me to stuff my face with turkey, and be sad that my Grandad still doesn’t have NFL Network, meaning I will miss the only good Thanksgiving game.
Thanksgiving is a tremendous holiday. My tradition is to travel ...
NCAA Basketball
North Carolina Tar Heels
There were a dozen games on the slate last night and you know what that means… [when g=games, d=day, and s=sentences] if g(d) ≥7, then s(g) = 1.
The Cavs lost to the Wiz as Stud Antawn Jamison showed what the Wiz had been missing so far this season. The Hawks beat the Heat and moved to ...
NBA
Only a few weeks remain in the season, giving me fewer chances to really screw the pooch on this bad boy. A little ground rules.
- I’m assuming NO major upsets, therefore I’m not predicting FIU to knock off Florida.
- This is going to be one of those seasons where a team ...

Bowl Championship Series
You know, there’s something ironic about the photo I chose to end the picks post last week and the way that game ended up playing out. I’m not going to say that I’m taking the blame for it. But I certainly didn’t help by tempting fate. On the plus side, I didn’t have a losing week! Going ...

Everyone is throwing names around for the job that technically isn’t even available, and we thought we would get in on the action. After all, we created a shit firestorm last year with a big coaching rumor .
Nick Saban.*
I know, I know. He is the head coach of one of the biggest ...

Good Thursday morning. I’ve been pretty absent around here since about last Friday, but I’m finally back from all of my travels…Middle Tennessee over the weekend and then Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm/Tamiami Trail the past few days. What’s that? You didn’t even ...

Hard to believe that this upcoming weekend marks the end of the season for the archane, idealistic, mock tradition layden, can’t give up the rotary phone and Dirndle, loving Big Ten. It’s freaking rediculous that the conference as a whole refuse to play Thanksgiving ...

In keeping with the holiday vibe that Happy Hour has become, I decided to compile my top five favorite Christmas films of all time. It was a very difficult task to do for several reasons. For one, I am a mere 22 years old, so many of the classics were before my time and I have yet to get ...

Last night was an interesting one in the NBA. Ten players qualified for Stud in the eight games that were played. You think that’s a lot? Well, try this on for size (who says that anymore?)… zero players qualified for Dud. Not only that, but really only a few guy came close. Because ...
