12/3/2025 🏀 Aggies and Panthers Play the World's Most Confusing Game of "Hot Potato Lead" In a Tuesday night matchup that featured more dramatic lead changes than a soap opera finale, the  Texas A&M Aggies  somehow managed to defeat the  Pitt Panthers , 81-73. The game, part of the ACC/SEC Challenge, will primarily be remembered as a masterclass in how  not  to hold a double-digit lead, a skill both teams perfected before abandoning it in a panic. The game started with the A

11/30/2025 Let’s take a ride in the Wayback Machine to 9th-grade English class to recall a classic scene from one of Shakespeare’s most beloved tragedies– Romeo and Juliet . Who can forget the famous balcony scene and these classic lines: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet.”  As a high school freshman, I thought Juliet was just yammering on about flowers and how Romeo forgot to bring them to her on their one-month anniversary

11/30/2025 Like most average white middle class Americans, I have a lot to be thankful for.  Providence's Thanksgiving Day performance is not one of them.  After getting dog-walked by Wisconsin on Thursday 104-83, they were rewarded by getting matched up with #10 Florida on Friday.  That's right, remember them? They won the national championship last year. So of course they lost that game too.  I am thankful I did not watch either game.  Thursday is football day, shame on the

11/30/2025 Notre Dame had a busy “feast” week with three games in the Players Era Championship. They went 1-2 with losses to Kansas and Houston wrapped around a win over Rutgers.  In other news, the NCAA recently announced that "After a procedural 30-day period, two-thirds of Division I member schools have voted to rescind a previously approved rule change that would have allowed student-athletes and athletics department staff members to legally participate in sports betting

11/27/2025 ESPN Headline: Houston Lands Diane. Yet the article had no comment from Sam Malone. 11/25/2025 A BYU player was arrested for possession of pot. He has not been told if he’s going to play in  the next game. But he’s has been told that he’s going to hell. 11/23/2025 Michigan and USC voted against taking a $2.4 billion investment to fix the B1G’s financial issues. They claimed it would just provide a Band-Aid. Well, there’s some strong proof that we still have inflati

11/30/2025 There’s something amiss in Dayton’s kitchen. Head Coach Anthony Grant earned his Michelin Star in 2020 with a top-5 Flyer team. Now, it looks like he can’t turn on a stove.  Despite a good Thanksgiving feast, Flyer fans are left with a bad taste in their mouths.  “Not a good coach,” and “didn’t have to be so painful,” were phrases that appeared on my texts this week as Dayton routinely built leads and lost them. Against Marquette November 19, the Flyers gave up a 1

11/9/2025 11/30/2025 The Big East felt it got snubbed by the tourney committee last year. So this year they entered with 3 teams in the top 25 and two in the top 5.  5 weeks later, it looks like the committee has the last laugh, as the conference is not getting it done. One team dropped completely out and St John's has gone from 5 down to 14.  The only team holding its own is UConn, which is fitting, since that was the message the league sent to the tournament selection commi

11/30/2025 The Kennesaw State Report Week 3:  Showdown in Dunk City Kennesaw State travelled to Fort Myers, Florida to compete in the most confusing early season tournament in all of college basketball, Coconut Hoops.  Formerly the more coherent and traditional Gulf Coast Showdown, Coconut Hoops the current name of this preseason "thing" where teams play other teams.  It has two divisions, one is known as the Royal Palm Division.  This is a standard four team tournament where

11/30/2025 It’s feast week, folks. College basketball is finally acknowledged by the media. TCU feasted on the rest of the field in the Rady Children’s Invitational. I feasted on so many carbs I’m out of breath typing this. What a glorious week.    The spiciest win came first with an 84-80 shocker over the reigning national champion Gators. The biggest surprise? They bullied Florida inside with 44 points in the paint to their 34. Pretty impressive as the 313th tallest team ag

11/30/2025 Even Mr. Perfect could not have done it more “perfectly” than the Cyclones did over a three day period this week. A bizarre tournament in Las Vegas where Iowa State took 4th place with rules in play rewarding blowing out your opponents. A 1 point victory over St. John's was costly; very funny. What wasn’t funny was the injury to point guard Tamin Lipsey with only 2 minutes remaining in that St.John's game, The Cyclones did close out the tournament with blowout wins
