ESPN Power Rankings

Do you guys even care about ESPN and their rankings anymore?  For some reason, even though I dismiss them, I have to check out the weekly “power rankings” when they come out.  This week’s rankings are up, and the top five are UNC-CH, Duke, UVA, VaTech and NC State.  It will be interesting to see [...]

The Business of College Sports

From time to time I enjoy bringing websites to your attention that may be of interest.  The Business of College Sports was founded about a year ago by Kristi Dosh, who now writes about business in sports for ESPN.  The reason for me bringing her site to your attention, however, is due to the work [...]

B1G Wins 3rd Straight B1G/ACC Challenge (?)

It was another long night for the ACC in the B1G/ACC Challenge (?).  Yes, you read that correctly.  After three straight wins by the Big Ten, I can no longer mock their inability to count.  Apparently counting does not matter on the hardwoods, as the B1G took eight of the 12 games against the ACC.  [...]

Big Ten(?)/ACC Challenge(?) Night Two

Tonight is the second, and final night of the Big Ten(?)/ACC Challenge(?).  If it is anything like last night, the ACC is in trouble.  My picks went horribly wrong, with only Illinois and Clemson winning.  The Big Ten(?) is in the lead 4 – 2.  So who is up tonight?

Indiana @ NC State @ [...]

Big Ten(?)/ACC Challenge(?)

It is that time of year again.  You know, the time that the Big Ten(?) tries to compete with the ACC on the hardwoods.  After winning two of the last three, the Big Ten(?) should be put back in its proper place over the next two nights.

Tonight we get the following tilts:

New Message: # 9 0 3 K

Student passes teacher

Mike Krzyzewski became Division one’s all-time winningest coach when Duke beat Michigan State 74-69 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. But you already knew that.  So for entertainment purposes I posted a slightly unedited text message conversation I had during the game with one of my best friends who happens to be [...]

Jalen Rose Arrested March 11th?

How in the Blue Hell is Jalen Rose arrested for a DUI on March 11th, and we just now hear about it?  I mean, it is not like dude has not been in the news recently.  Is this a case of ESPN “taking care” of one of their own?  Apparently Rose’s car skidded off the [...]

#ESPN & #ESPN3 #ACCTRNY #FAIL

Yeah, that is right.  I worked four Twitter hashtags into one title.  Why?  Simple.  The ACCT Championship game was not on ESPN3 for me.  The main page said it was, but when I loaded ESPN3 it kept telling me there were no games on today’s schedule.  You can bet your sweet patotee that I’m [...]

Bomani Jones on ESPN

Former THEE BLOG contributor and Snuggie wearing former 850 the Buzz before they went corporate radio host Bomani Jones was on ESPN’s First Take recently debating Skip Bayless on all things sports, here is their debate about Darrelle Revis. I missed this when it aired but, as usual, Skip’s “opponent” sounded more intelligent and rational.

Personally, I’m Hoping for a Blackout

As a distraction to the increasingly depressing news coming out of Chapel Hill, I figured I would turn to potentially equally depressing news coming out of Bristol, Connecticut: Disney and Time Warner have less four days to resolve their dispute or millions of Time Warner cable customers may lose ESPN on September 1st.

Here’s a [...]
