Okay, gloves off.

No stats, no recaps, none of that.

If you have ever read my stuff on Bleacher Report you would notice that I keep to a newspaper style of writing. On this blog, I want to be more opinionated, but without being out of line at the same time.

Here it goes, this is what I [...]

An already painful week turned excruciating for Carlo Ancelotti. After being dumped out of the Champions League midweek by former hero Jose Mourinho, Chelsea failed to rebound and dropped two valuable points at Blackburn. Manchester United edged Liverpool and now control the Premier League race.

A forlorn figure on the touchline, Carlo Ancelotti could [...]

With Leach at the wheel I was expecting a 10 win minimum season with the guys this team has coming back in 2010. Now with Tubbs, Willis, and Brown running the show I’m in agreement it’s anywhere between 9-12 wins this year.

Very exciting to hear your take on the O-line ded, as [...]

No Kalin Lucas?

No problem.

“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.

State’s 5′11″ point-man Korie Lucious may have a little something to [...]

This really has been a great start. It’s pretty exciting to see dark horse teams winning by playing solid basketball rather than just shooting the lights out. 4 year players are so key.

And nobody melts down like Maryland fans. I can’t even post some of the stuff they have spewed.

Hopefully, yall caught the Maryland Michigan St ending. Freakin’ thrilling. Maryland almost pulled off a comeback for the ages.

officially the best opening weekend ever

Tom Izzo can coach some ball.

MSU at the buzzer!!!!!!

Fear the Turtle! Came all the way back from a dozen down to take the lead on MSU…

It’s incredible how few teams play good, fundamental basketball.

tOSU will be moving on. Evan Turner does a little of everything. 22 pts, 8 reb, 8 ass. Great player.

Bob Huggins looks like a guy I wouldn’t want to play for. He makes Barnes look like Dick Vermeil….

Scratch that. The Big Red are blowing Wisconsin out.

I’d be happy to see the last two minutes of the OSU/Tech game. 4 pt game with just under two minutes.

Cornell putting it to the Bo Ryan’s….

Cornell is playing phenomenally well. I’d be surprised if Wiscy doesn’t cut into the lead in the 2nd half.

Jay Bilas may end up looking like a genius.

I really want Mizzou to give it to WVU.

What kind of NBA player does Samhan end up as?

I really like Cal today.

ATM and Cornell look too good to be true and the public is all over both of them.

I gotta believe that Izzo beats Maryland today, I haven’t been impressed with the Terps this year. I am surprised that they are favored.

Gonzaga is getting plowed like a future Zeta during her Provisional Summer session.

Kevin Berger from March To March lays it out for us here.

1) Interior Worries. As in the Bears shouldn’t have any defensively even if Cal is an undersized group. Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas aren’t going to drop step and dunk you to death on the low block so Mike Montgomery can [...]

Jordan Hamilton + 2 years ~ Wesley Johnson. Discuss.

” a heavily tattooed lycanthrope Irish wookie named Lucas O’Rear”

That is just strong command of the English language.

This piece was a nice balm on the hangover.
