Conference Tournaments ARE Meaningful
Doug Gottleib needs to do his homework before opening his mouth. For three days, I’ve listened to this ESPN college basketball “analyst” rationalize an early exit by a potential No. 1 seed as having no bearing on their NCAA seeding or their national title hopes. First he rationalized No. 2-ranked Pittsburgh’s loss to West Virginia [...]
Petri Dish Politics: It’s What’s for Dinner
Recent ruminations: Is Obama as sly as a tax-happy fox? Can an altruistic world view still be achieved? Are the Florida Gators heading back to the NIT? Find out now!
Lane Kiffin’s Bones Will Be Urban’s Bread
Oh, Lane, you just don’t know what you’re getting into, do you? If you don’t know, Mr. Kiffin is the new coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, who must have been mighty impressed by that 5-15 record he posted as coach of the Oakland Raiders. Mr. Kiffin surely thinks he has brass balls: he’s got a [...]

… It’s Great To Be A Florida Gator!
Ahmad Black’s steal of an interception. Riley Cooper in his swan song before heading to pro baseball. Percy Harvin at only 90 percent(!). Aaron Hernandez on shuttle passes. Big-game receiver David Nelson. Tim Tebow being Tim Tebow. And the SEC’s BEST DEFENSE. Gators rule yet again! Thank you Urban Meyer!
… Screw You Sooners! Gators Over Oklahoma
I’ve consulted with friends, family, seers, and most importantly my rabbit hound Big Boy, and have concluded that Florida will win big tonight over Oklahoma. Let’s call it a 10-point margin with an O/U of 75. Go Gators!
Getting Serious About College Basketball
I just bit the bullet and ordered ESPN Full Court so I can see every Florida Gators game the rest of the season. I think today’s win over N.C. State is going to be a turning point, and I don’t want to miss what comes next.
Is Tyrod Taylor Following in Marcus Vick’s Footsteps?
Virginia Tech sophomore QB Tyrod Taylor is an unquestionable talent. But he’s also an undeniable prick whose taunting and posing will catch up to him one day.
Bowl Preseason Wasn’t Pretty
The bowl “preseason” was not kind to me — I correctly picked the winner in only 3 of 8 games (though I am quite proud of my Notre Dame pick). The real games start today with both FSU and Miami trying to kick off their 2009 campaigns in style. I hope they do; I picked [...]
Let’s Go Bowling!
I know you’ve been anxiously anticipating my bowl picks, so without further delay, here they are — with the bowls’ older, traditional names. Screw the sponsors. (This post will be updated throughout the bowl season with results.)
