High Octane Rivalries are Back
Big Blue Booyah —
Enough said. So says Pat Forde of ESPN. And we all know how well he is respected. He lists the top rivalries for the upcoming 2009-10 college basketball season. The Cats are featured twice on the list and John Calipari is the lone reason for both. Forde ranks the Cats-Cards game ...

We hate Michigan?
ESPN has Purdue in two of the top ten hot rivalries in college basketball right now. I guess it will have to do until Indiana gets better. I do think the Michigan one is a stretch, but Sparty makes sense. That one is more of a friendly rivalry.

... back in March, according to multiple sources, and he respectfully declined. It was actually the second time he said "thanks but no thanks" to Wildcats athletic director Mitch Barnhart — as Wright had no interest a couple of years ago before Barnhart went with the train wreck that was Billy Gillispie." We hear this all the time from The Loathsome Troll, but his "sources" have proven highly suspect before concerning UK coaches. I doubt this one.

Rivalry of the century

Eric Foster’s one goal for the upcoming season: sack the quarterback. I’m a little skeeved at the analysts who question Foster’s ability to even make the Colts this year. Darnell Stapleton is facing similar skepticism in Pittsburgh, even if he did have a poor Super Bowl.

We’re Live
College coaches make their way onto the AAU scene today for the first time this year. The NCAA scrapped all live evaluation periods in the Spring, making this the first chance for college coaches to get out and see recruits in person. This is the fun time when you can learn who’s recruiting who just by following where each coaching staff goes.
Here is the list of tournaments that take place over the next week or so:

Breaking: In Future, Robots Rule World. Only Hope Is To Keep Playing Rutgers vs. Seton Hall.
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician —
... Last week, ESPN columnist Pat Forde penned a column discussing the hottest rivalries in college basketball. In a shock, he included Rutgers vs. Seton Hall on his list. At the time it seemed strange to include a rivalry between a team that went 11-21 last season and another that went 17-15. Especially when not one college basketball fan can point to a single, meaningful moment in any game between these two mediocre-at-best programs. But now we are learning that one day soon, the fate of the world will depend on this rivalry. ...
Pat Forde Is Freaking Insane
Tar Heel Fan —
Traffic bait, mailing it in or outright promotion. You be the judge.
Pat Forde, who is obviously trying to get back on Erin Calipari’s good side, did a little top ten of college basketball rivalries. No brainer right? UNC-Duke #1 and then whoever else. Not so much according to Forde. In fact Forde argues that UNC-Duke has not been up to snuff in recent years and there are others that have superseded it.
The biggest rivalry news of 2009-10 is that the rivalry in college hoops isn’t so hot — at least in relation to its own molten standards. ...

... The only question is...will you be there? (Pat Forde will!) Apologies are in order to the Louisville, Georgetown, Syracuse and Providence basketball teams...I'm not entirely sure why the Big East would schedule them to play on that day as well OR why the ESPN family of networks would choose Louisville-Georgetown over the Seton Hall-Rutgers game to televise, but I'm sure that will be changed soon. ...
