Unlike the guys at 850 The Buzz, I don’t think this pic is terribly scandalous, but it is pretty damn funny. He looks a bit drunk, but I think that’s just bad timing on the photographer. It does look like he’s in a college dorm or apartment though, which is odd. Wanna guess what he’s…

Well, ain’t this something. ESPN has hired themselves an ombudsman. What’s that you say? You have no idea what that is? Go ahead then and look it up (I know I did). I’ll wait a sec. OK, now you know. An ombudsman serves to hear complaints from the people. Complaints from us. Poor guy. George…

Paulwesterdawg (cool blog name) has nice map using helmets to show the location of every Division 1 football program. It’s interesting to see the large clusters and gaps. Check that clump in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, northern Kentucky and West Virginia. In contrast, there are no helmets from southern Wyoming through the Dakotas, western Nebraska and…

The New Orleans Times-Pacayune had a nice article over the weekend about the source of many college nicknames. One that stood out was Miami’s original name of the Orange Blossoms. Think they would have won as many titles with that name? Another one I’d heard as a derisive nickname, but didn’t realize it really was…

When Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton went nuts in streets of Tallahassee, I thought it was a funny story. Pretty clearly, the dude was whacked out on some ‘shrooms or acid and developed himself a God complex (and a son-of-God complex as well). The one nagging thought that kept me from being too flippant about…

Sesame Street used Grover to teach the concepts of opposites. “This is near and … this … is far.” Highlights For Kids had Goofus and Gallant. Dave Sez has the 2005 recruiting classes of Duke and Virginia. Duke has the undisputed #1 class in the nation, led by #1 player Josh McRoberts and top point…

This hurricane is terrifying. To anyone who is in its direct path – I wish you the best. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to ride out a Category 5 storm. I also can’t imagine what will happen to New Orleans if it really gets the 28 foot storm surge they say…

Evidently little Michael Jeffrey Jordan has all growns up. Or – he hopes – has nearly done so. Little Michael Jr. is now 16 years old and is currently at the prestigious Nike summer hoops camp for top prospects. Unfortunately for Mike Jr., he’s not 6’6″ like his dad – he’s 6’0″. Big difference. The…

Ken Pomeroy is the man when it comes to college basketball statistics. There’s no one else even close. He looks at angles that nobody else has thought of and produces numbers that let you see the game in a new light. With this being the offseason, Ken is obviously a bit bored. So, he’s shining…

Once again, I’ve been a bit busy and haven’t posted on several interesting things from the past week. So, instead of being completely negligent, I’ll just drop a few quickie thoughts into one post. How’s that for ya? An Even Dozen You probably saw the news. Last week, on July 1st to be exact, Boston…
