Saturday Shake-Up

By Mike, on February 27th, 2010 | 6 comments

It is 9pm, Saturday night. Villanova and Syracuse is starting. What a game this should be to end the day. Oh, the day? Ha! You mean the awesomeness that was Saturday in the world of college basketball? It was almost a perfect day…

First Kentucky loses to Tennessee. Keep in mind Tennessee is still doing it with only eight scholarship players. It is hard not to pull for Bruce Pearl in general, but now?

Then Kansas lost to Oklahoma State. This makes it the first time in four years that the number one team and the number two team both lost on the same day.

and then….. Continue reading Saturday Shake-Up

Alvin Robertson Is In The Lead

It is early in the year, but Alvin Robertson has officially taken the lead in the Allegedly Biggest POS on Earth Award for 2010. Apparently dude thought it was a good idea to help a group of buddies kidnap a 14 year old girl and force her to have sex and work at a [...]

Should Coaches be Tweeting

Georgia Tech basketball Head Coach Paul Hewitt has been stirring up fans and the media recently with his tweets on twitter. Here are a few of them:

Clearly we are playing our best basketball of the season. Don’t believe what you read from the “experts.” Believe what you see. As [...]

Old School Thursday

The Super Bowl has provided me with yet another inspiration in commercial form for OST. I have to admit that I don’t actually remember seeing the above McDonald’s ad during the big game. I was watching the Association recently on TNT and it happened to come on. Let me just say that I think it is monumentally stupid. Not because of the crappy CGIed dunks. Not because of the absolutely wooden acting of everyone involved. No, it’s beyond idiotic because the commercial wants us to believe that neither Lebron James (who is a huge student of the game and can recite all kinds of obscure facts and data about players and teams from throughout basketball’s history) nor Dwight Howard know who Larry Bird is. The dude is an ACTIVE front office guy for an NBA team and a Hall of Fame player. I can suspend my disbelief only but so far. Continue reading Old School Thursday

It's Finally Over

By smallandpettypat, on February 24th, 2010 | 5 comments

The NFL has declined to punish Tom Cable, coach of the Oakland Raiders, for his involvement in a fight between himself and Randy Hanson, (once) one of his assistant coaches. They also decided to let him off the hook for his alleged domestic violence. I guess they decided working for Al Davis was punishment [...]

Admiral Ackbar for Old Miss Mascot

By Brian, on February 24th, 2010 | Leave a comment

Apparently, Mississippi is contemplating changing their current mascot Colonel Reb in an effort to change their image because images of the Old South, well, just send the wrong message or something. Anyway, there is a campaign afoot by a contingent of students to vote Admiral “It’s a trap!” Ackbar of Return of the Jedi [...]

Bob Huggins Is An F-Bombardier

By Brian, on February 23rd, 2010 | 72 comments

Near the conclusion of Monday night’s UConn’s win over West Virginia, Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins received two technical fouls and was ejected for weaving a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Hartford, Connecticut. Huggins was apparently unhappy with the quality of officiating which included a [...]

USA! USA! USA!

By Brian, on February 22nd, 2010 | 8 comments

Let me first say I know precious little about hockey. I am unabashedly a bandwagon fan when it comes to the Carolina Hurricanes only rousing myself to pay attention to them if they make the playoffs which means I watch hockey every other season. The same is true of hockey in the Olympics. I [...]
