After Georgia State and the father-son team of Ron and R.J. Hunter captured America’s heart with a first-round upset over Baylor in the NCAA tournament last season, the Panthers face a bit of a rebuilding year before one of their better recruiting classes comes in next season. Four-star shooting guard D’Marcus Simonds and three-star Chris Clerkley […]

College Basketball Needs to Stay True to Itself

0 comments by on 10/26/2015

College basketball faces an important season. More rule changes have been put in place, with the 30-second shot clock being at the forefront of possible scrutiny, and the game itself continues to be bashed by casual fans for its lack of entertaining play. A point I have made in the past, which certainly can’t be […]

Rick Pitino, Scandals, and the Ugly Truth Behind College Basketball

0 comments by on 10/21/2015

College basketball has always been a different sport than its other mainstream counterparts. It doesn’t have that natural audience tuning in which football does. Major League Baseball has a history unlike others, but folks continue to tune in during its lengthy regular season, while shooty hoops only sees large audiences during March Madness. Nor is […]

The stripper story surrounding Rick Pitino, Louisville, and college basketball does not seem like it is going away. Hopefully, since the topic is more complicated than immoral-narratives, some nuance is used before the world declares some sort of ban on all things recruiting trips. Link dump. * College Football Andy Schwarz has an absolutely terrific column […]

A college football Tuesday? Well, I suppose it technically is. As we all are still collectively catching our breaths from a poor punter dropping a football in the state of Michigan, the season waits for no one. After all, there is a Sun Belt game on tonight! Link dump. * College Football Speaking of things […]

Picking on people should not be considered normal. It does not matter if they did something silly or something considered dumb, it isn’t cool to take to the mean streets of social media to poke someone when they are already down. And, yes, this includes punters. They are people too. Link dump. * College Football […]

Happy Friday! Well, except for those who have to work the weekend. To you, happy almost there or whatever day? Regardless, a full day of college football starts in a little less than 24 hours. Use your mobile devices if you have to work. Watch your favorite team attempt to win a game with your […]

The NBA community was hit hard yesterday with the news of Lamar Odom being found unconscious. While not all that relevant to college sports fans, it is situation worth monitoring because a little empathy, thoughts, and prayers never hurt anyone. * College Football We are going to lump two Steve Sarkisian stories in our opening dump.

The Steve Spurrier backlash is real. Some are calling his early-season retirement selfish. Originally, to be honest, I was like “Oh hell no” and stuff like that. However, after giving it some thought and listening to others discuss why they felt that way, I suppose I get it. Alas, we “like” Spurrier so he gets […]

College football broke yesterday. There is no other way to put it. Coaches were fired, a coach is about to retire, and a quarterback from Florida got suspended for taking some fancy drugs. All of that was on a Monday. A MONDAY. There is still the rest of the week for craziness to come out, […]

Another crazy college football weekend is behind us. Games were played, players were hitting each other, and a coach got fired. Then, because magic or whatever, Maryland got tabbed as one of the best destinations in the country for college football coaches. Everything is complete normal.

Last season Murray State had a lottery pick, went 16-0 in the regular season….and missed out on the NCAA tournament thanks to an epic conference title game loss to Belmont. It was another example of the cruel nature of single bid leagues. Even more than North Carolina Central, who also ran through its league undefeated, […]

It is Friday. The day before the weekend starts for many humans. Some people have to work on Saturdays, though, which is kind of stinky. Those people will miss all the fun that comes with sitting on a coach from 11 in the morning until after midnight. Alas, the woes in life are aplenty. Link […]

Last season North Dakota State and South Dakota State played in the conference championship game for the second time in three seasons, with the Bison evening the score against their neighbors to the south. This season, with each team losing its best player to graduation, might there be room for someone else to take the […]

Tuesdays can be brutal. Monday is over, the week is still long, and dinner is usually leftovers from the weekend. It is a sad state of affairs, to be honest. So, um… Is it time for some #MACtion yet? No? Well, fine. It doesn’t matter, I guess, except it totally does. Enough rambling. Link dump time. […]
