We've Got Your "Seven Nation Army" Right Here.
I apologize for the lack of posting the past couple of days, I’m currently battling a bout of laziness while at the same time writing up an essay on one of our current football players for the September issue of The Norman Einsteins. You’ll have to wait until September 1st to find out who, but [...]
I dunno about you, but I’m getting quite sick of hearing about how the NCAA is allegedly probing USC’s football and basketball programs for major violations when we all know they carry as much leverage and intimidation towards USC as the UN does to Kim Jong Il.
My solution for the NCAA is quite simple actually; [...]
The Patriot-News‘ David Jones recently waxed philosophical on the Fighting DeChellises’ NIT title and what it means for the program’s future. It’s also the type of article that deserves its own literary dissection lab, so let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Three things you should never, ever, under any circumstances attempt to do in life: Sticking your tongue on a frozen telephone pole, snorting a pixie stick, and playing tricks on Greg Gumbel. Apparently, CBS’s longtime March Madness studio anchor was conned into taping introductions for what he believed would be used for educational programs but [...]
You’ve gotta be effin’ kidding me: Imagine if Northwestern does the unthinkable and walks away from Columbus having completed a sweep of Ohio State, they will be 9-9 in the Big Ten with road scalps at Michigan State, Purdue, and Ohio State, not to mention additional wins against fellow bubble teams Minnesota and Wisconsin plus [...]

Without a doubt, this is the greatest news I’ve woken up to in a long time. From this day forward, millions of basketball fans across this great nation can watch the Final Four sans the “Mute” button now that this old curmudgeon is gone.
Whether it was his relentless criticism of mid-majors like Bradley and [...]
Well, my brackets overall are not doing so hot (damn you: Villanova, Western KY Jelly, Xavier, Michigan State, Tennessee, and Stanford) but at least I got one of my “sleeper” picks right. I’m talking of course about Davidson getting into the Sweet 16. That alone made me a happy camper, particularly since practically [...]
Alright, less than half an hour ’til the 2008 edition of the “Big Dance” tips off:
If you’re looking for some entertaining live-blogging, you might want to check out Awful Announcing, as they should be able to fulfill your experience.
