First off, BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Gus Johnson, according
to the fucking man himself, will broadcast the first
FOUR rounds of March Madness this year, after doing just two last year when the excruciating, non-enraptured James Brown took his gig. Second, BREAKING NEWS ALERT: On Gus' Web site, Gus Johnson Sports, you can now get Gus Johnson ring tones! Gus Tones, they are called and apparently ...
This is from Deadspin but I absolutely had
to post it. The more the merrier. On TV
Doug Gottlieb reminds me of the spoiled little kid who has been given a position of leadership or prominence. He doesn't really care how you think he should be doing his job, he's going to do things his way no matter what. He writes articles even though he is not a writer, announces game (usually of the ...
Handicapping the national title contenders with a look
at four teams who fit the national champion mold
and why others don't.
The debate over which part of the year
is the worst in sports has been going on
for awhile. Some people say it's February, after the Super Bowl and before March Madness. Others go with August, a month filled only with regular season baseball, the PGA Championship, swamp ass and the slow, NFL Live-ridden death march to football season. Allow me to offer another contender, the first three ...
For those of you not in the know,
there is one elite freshman out there who's not
yet reported to the Domination Station that is the 2007-2008 season. Herb Pope, a top 25 recruit out of Western PA, was supposed to be a key contributor for a New Mexico State team that wasn't supposed to suck so much. Pope is a guy I touted highly coming into this season, claiming he had more raw talent than ...
Sports Illustrated has countered its slow death march
to irrelevancy with some pretty solid issues to ring
in the New Year. I already mentioned Gary Smith's outstanding piece on San Diego freshman Rob Jones . They profiled Michael Beasley last week. But this week it was Rick Majerus that caught the eye of SI, in a long piece from SL Price . And let's just say the Billikens recent struggles ...
I'm not particularly fond of the whole Soulja
Boy nonsense (probably because I cannot perform the dance...
I am white), but when distributed in moderation with the necessary subtleties... and by old school, disciplinarian coaches that grew up in Chester, PA, I suppose it can serve a purpose.
Came across a delightful little story today from
the venerable Gary Parrish at CBS Sportsline. Apparently Tommie
Liddell III, a guard for Rick Majerus' mighty St. Louis Billikens, hasn't been playing so hot under his new coach. So his father, Tommie Liddell Jr. decided to blast on Majerus at the warmest of support groups, a fan message board. Here is the post from the marvelously...
I was going to write my thoughts on
last night's big Memphis-USC game because it was an
interesting game in terms of the big picture of college hoops and there were not two but three, 2008 lottery picks (do NOT sleep on Davon Jefferson). But I've been reminded this morning why I don't write game summaries or recaps on this site: Because they are fucking EVERYWHERE. In case you want your mind ...
Last night I watched E:60, a show that
managed to go from promising to atrocious in about
four episodes (I'll take Real Sports on HBO ANY day) and saw their story on OJ Mayo. The story was informative, especially for those that have spent recent months beneath rocks or in Kazakhstan. The reporter, Lisa Salters , clearly was out of her element in the college basketball arena, essentially ...
The outstanding March to Madness , the Susan
B. Anthony of bloggers, has gathered the finest minds
on these here Interwebs for a weekly top 25 college hoops poll . The votes consider games played on or before Monday, Decemeber 10, which, of course, ...
In a police affidavit released last week, Evans
revealed he was driving a car when a passenger,
his 16-year-old cousin, shot and killed someone on Nov. 25 in Evans' hometown of Chester, PA. The cous was charged with first degree murder (obviously) but Evans won't be charged.
A little while back I took a look
at the situation of New Mexico State freshman forward
Herb Pope, a kid with a terrible past but unbelievable talent. I've been especially interested in Pope because he is the exact type of player I love to watch, a versatile forward with a smooth, inside-outside game and great athleticism. But it's that past and the struggle to overcome it that provides an ...
Yes, a headline that is surely being reproduced
throughout the tubes today, in honor of the Drake
Bulldogs, Kings of the Valley, who beat Bradley last night to improve to 6-0 in conference and 15-1 on the season.
Well this certainly was an interesting weekend. As
I look back at the scores, I realize it
turned out to be college hoops Armageddon, with upsets galore, a complete lack of consistency, a horrific display of parity and most importantly, a hell of a lot of excitement. Let's recap.
West Virginia players go to a strip club
the night before a game, some blogger is there
for the first-hand account, hilarity ensues.
I've always kinda been fascinated by the hatred
for Duke. I hate them, I know that. And
I know all the common gripes about the Dukies. But I'm not really sure why so many people hate them. With Duke-UNC coming up next week, I plan on writing about the rivalry a bit more, so I won't delve too deep right here, but I read the outstanding book To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever, by Will ...
