AM Basketball Coaching Search Update
Marquette's Buzz Williams has already said you can't afford me and Colorado's Tad Boyle did the math on living in Boulder vs. College Station and winning in the Pac 12 (pretty easy) vs. the streamlined Big 12 (pretty hard) and said no thank you, but I appreciate you reaching out...
This Week in Sports Entertainment History
Two weeks ago Tim Tebow was selected by Denver as the 25th overall pick in the NFL draft. It was a reach yes—at least he can sell shit—but it seems, at least to me, that this story was grossly overrun and over-hyped. Tebow as a topic tends to polarize people and generate ratings, although this...

Today in Sports History: January 21st
1/21/1997 - The Con Game Of the many things that Michael Jordan was known for, one of them was getting himself hyped up for a game. Often times, Jordan would create something to give him motivation when the game itself wasn't all that important. For a January game against the New York Knicks,...
The Big Blue Daily Mail -- Who is to Blame for Cheating?
We have seen, lately, many assaults on the "one-and-done" rule currently provided for by the NBA. Essentially, the rule requires a player to do something else with himself after high school, until they turn at least 19 years old. But I don't want to debate the goodness or badness of the NBA rule...
