We see it all the time in sports…the slapping of the ass in congratulatory fashion. I’ve done it, you’ve done it, it just feels so natural in the heat of battle.
But that’s usually the case for teammates or possibly even opposing players – not the refs…in the middle of a game…for absolutely no reason.
It’s a [...]

Anyone who reads my posts with any regularity knows by now that I bleed Scarlet and Gray. I’m an Ohio guy that has grown up loving the Buckeyes. Call me a douchebag, whatever, I’ll take the stereotype given by a few bad eggs.
But what you probably don’t know, is that I went to college at a [...]

We all know that college athletes have a raw deal. The amount of money these players bring in for their schools compared to the scholarships they receive is almost criminal.
A study done by the National College Player’s Association called, “The Price of Poverty In Big Time College Sport“, shows the estimated salaries that college players [...]

Talk about being under-matched.
If you’re the Hoyas, this might have been one of those situations where you just shut up and play basketball. Yeah, so the people in the stands might look a bit smaller than usual, but that doesn’t mean you can take on a billion of them.
During an exhibition match in Bejing, the [...]

The NCAA Rules Committee is recommending that college basketball institute a “no-charge zone”, extending 3 feet from the center of the basket, and painted on the court. I assumed that last part would be obvious, until I found out there is currently a no-charge zone in college basketball. A mythical 2-foot no-charge zone .
I watched [...]

In case you are like me and have a God awful memory, Michigan State and North Carolina are going to be playing a basketball game on an aircraft carrier this coming year. And much like the first time I heard about this, it still made me wonder how the hell they planned on making this [...]

University of Connecticut star Kemba Walker has excelled as a basketball player at all levels throughout his entire life. Watching him play, it is clear that he has spent an inordinate amount of time practicing his trade. 
And after what he revealed in a recent Sports Illustrated interview, it’s a good thing his trade isn’t teaching.
Walker [...]

After winning National Player of the Year, I think we all new that Jimmer Fredette wasn’t going away anytime soon.
Not that I want him to go away, but like any successful white college basketball player, you just kind of assume he will get drafted by Utah or Indiana and you will probably never hear from [...]

We’re not ones to pile on the little guy, but Butler sucked something fierce Monday night.  There’s no simpler way to put it.
It was painful to watch.  It was like watching girls high school basketball, where no one ever makes a shot.  A complete waste of time.
I mean, 41 points? Embarassing.  They shot a record-worst [...]

Thank you, Internet. Once in a while, you get it right. Amongst all the porno and awful vlogs, you found the time in your cold, dead heart to do something worthwhile. The right thing even.
About 3 weeks ago, Illinois College guard Jacob Tucker released a video of himself doing incredible dunks. Tucker’s goal was to [...]

Butler versus Virginia Commonwealth?  Yawn.
People love the NCAA tournament because of bracket challenges, Gus Johnson’s on-airgasms, and early round upsets.  Don’t get me wrong… I love watching a 13 seed knock off a 4 as much as anyone, but that’s where I draw the line.  Watching Butler and VCU play in the final four?  Give [...]

5.9 Million brackets were submitted to ESPN.com’s 2011 NCAA Tournament Challenge.
Two of them picked this Final Four.
A user named jspearlman has a #1 ranked bracket, having chosen the unlikeliest Final Four in the history of bracketology.
His bracket is not without mistakes.  His major gaffes were picking Louisville to go the Elite Eight, picking Memphis to beat Arizona, and [...]
