**UPDATED WITH PICTURES** Wednesday Home Away From Home

Annnnnd we’rebackontrack.  I might not be sick as a dog this week, but I am pretty sure my head might explode due to the pollen that has been assaulting my sinuses these last few days.  It is making me miserable, which should make some of you out there happy.  But I’m pushing through the pain and misery to bring you guys yet another super awesome HAFH.  Because you just have to get your drink on, right?  Right?  Well hit the jump to read about this week’s spot.

EXU Dismisses One, Suspends One Indefinitely

Since Big J is so tied up being smug and taunting UNX fans I figured I would update y’all on the state of the EXU football team.  Ruffin McNeill found it necessary to cut last year’s number two running back Brandon Jackson and to suspend the number three back, Giavanni Ruffin, indefinitely after their recent [...]

Coaching Carousel: Boston College fires Al Skinner

The NCAA Tournament isnt even over yet, but the coaching carousel is already getting cranked up in the ACC.  Boston College “agreed to separate” with Al Skinner, according to AD Gene DeFilippo.  BC went 15-16 this year and 6-10 in the ACC.  Skinner has coached the Eagles since 1997.  Possible candidates for the job include [...]

Monday Morning Fodder

So, how are those brackets looking?  Mine look like crap, with zero Final Four teams remaining.  Duke is the lone ACC team left standing, and they will face off against West Virginia, who happens to be the lone Big East team left.  On the other side, we have Butler out of the Horizon League facing off against Michigan State out of the Big 11.

Meanwhile, over in the NIT, Carolina (we can call them that because it is basketball we are talking…) will be facing off against Rhode Island, that juggernaut from the A-10.  How will Carolina find a way to stop Keith Cothran, Delroy James and Lamonte Ulmer?  Yawn.

Big Three Gunning For Final Four

Can the Big Three make it to the Final four?

I’ve been busier than a one legged man in an ass whipping contest so in an effort to revive thee blog, here’s a little write up on Elite Eight team Duke Blue Devils.

 Oh no you Purdont! The Duke, Purdue game [...]

This week’s “Caption This” winner

Apparently the wounds are still fresh around Memphis regarding John Calipari’s departure for Kentucky. WREG-TV in Memphis reports a sinkhole developed on the busy I-240 highway outside the city, and a photochop of Calipari in the sinkhole has been making the rounds on the interwebs in western Tennessee:

The prize in all this is [...]

Feeling Frisky Friday

I’m going to be quick, again, because RL is calling me and I’m a busy smallandpetty lately.  I am playing golf tomorrow though, with Alex In Raleigh.  So that should be a nice little diversion from real life.  Plus, it’s fishing season and there are lines to be dropped and lips to be ripped.  Damn I love the Spring.

Old School Thursday

Encore or Stars, I know it was one of those two, ran a week-long marathon of sorts centered around the early career of one of the great actors, directors, and producers of my generation.  All of the movies were from the 80′s and all of them, no matter how bad the overall movie was, featured brilliant comedic performances by the actor.  He was the everyman and the boy next door.  His timing was impeccable.  His physical comedy was on point.  His facial expressions were perfectly expressive and never failed to deliver.  In short, he was great.  Then he decided, like most actors do as they age and grow as artists, to make the move to more dramatic movies.  He excels in that aspect too, but I don’t care.  This is OLD SCHOOL Thursday, and I’m all about the funny. Continue reading Old School Thursday

Wednesday Home Away From Home

I would love to tell you guys that there was no HAFH last Wednesday because I was helping the poor indigenous people of some foreign land or because I was performing some life saving surgery on puppy dogs or some other such noble act, but the plain truth is I was sick as a dog and simply got my weeks messed up.  My bad.  It doubly sucks because LAST Wednesday would have been the perfect day to hip you cats to a great local sports bar in preparation for the NCAAT festivities that I know everyone takes part in.  But don’t fret because I’m here today and I’ll get back on track next week, that way all of you lushes can get your swerve on properly while watching golf, NASCAR, or the Association, because the wonderful world of college sports is about to take a little hiatus.  Unless you just love college baseball and know where to find it on the dial.  So, without too much further ado, I give you this week’s most awesomest sports bar of the week, or something. Continue reading Wednesday Home Away From Home

NFL to tweak OT rules for playoffs

The National Football League has modified its sudden-death overtime rule in which the team that scores first wins the game. The league’s owners voted 28-4 to change the rule to allow each team to have a possession in overtime unless the team that scores first scores a touchdown, in which case the game is [...]
