Well, well, well. It looks like Memphis coach John Calipari is in a bit of hot water. As the Sports Guy would say, WATFO! Calipari’s a snake. He was a snake at UMass (remember the team GPA that was about the same as their points-per-possession and the whole Marcus Camby scandal) and he still is.…

Hey, I found Charles Shackelford! Interestingly enough, he’s now coaching high school football in Louisiana. In fact, he coached Peyton Manning. Here’s what Peyton had to say last night about coach Shack: My high school coach used to tell me you have to be amphibious when you’re sprinting to your left. I said, ‘Don’t you…

Women’s college soccer doesn’t normally get too much media coverage, and usually that’s for good reason. Few people really care that much. But, this weekend there was actually a story worth noting. For just the second time ever, UNC’s women failed to win the ACC Tournament. Virginia beat them in a penalty kick shootout to…

This is a pretty interesting. Yoni of the College Basketball blog found that college coaches are starting to pay big money for a high-tech training device out of Israel. It’s basically a computer game designed to improve reflexes. The games were built on theories developed after some studies on Israeli fighter pilots in the 80s.…

You have to love preseason optimism. You also have to love when teammates pull for each other. Sometimes it can go a bit far though. Check out these quotes. The first is from Julius Hodge about point guard Tony Bethel, who transfered to NC State from Georgetown. Bethel had to sit out last season, but…

If you don’t check out Ken Pomeroy’s blog, you should. He uses a mastery of statistics to take some very interesting looks at college basketball. Over the past week or so, he wrote a series of three articles about the new RPI formula. Ken’s conclusion, backed up with stats, is that it’s a whole lot…

There was a great story in the NBA last night, but for some reason it got buried behind the stories of Shaq and Kobe. Hell, even in the very game, Stevie Francis’ dunks got more attention (and damn, those were two impressive dunks! Don’t forget, he’s only 6’3″.). The story I’m talking about is the…

Just yesterday, I wrote about how NC State has appropriated the Florida State mantra of “play until the echo of the whistle,” an attitude that to me is just as much about dirty play as it is about aggression. Well, it seems that extra hitting is only part of the package. According to fanblogs.com, Chuck…

Thank God. The Red Sox won the World Series. It’s over. Bill Simmons can stop writing about them. Can I get an Amen? Even better, the NBA season has started and that’s always been the Sports Guy’s bread and butter. He knows the NBA the best and it shows in his writing. Here’s the first…

Duke point guard recruit Greg Paulus is a pretty interesting athlete. Like many Duke recruits, he is very highly ranked and he picked Duke early. What’s different about Paulus is that he’s also considered the top high school football quarterback. He has no plans on playing football at Duke, and Coach K doesn’t want him…
