Calipari ‘Get’s It’

It’s amazing how well he handles these questions. Dude could be a politician.

College Coaches Pimping Guitar Hero

Gotta love the angry Robert Montgomery Knight!

Bradley vs. Oakland – 3/23/2009

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Can you feel the love?

Men’s Basketball NCAA TournStats Since 1985

Keep Coach Gillispie

Two years isn’t enough time to install his players with his system. Kentucky fans need to take a deep breath and step away from the message boards for the good of the program.

After next season, if there’s still not marked improvement, then we can talk about changes.

Update 4/9: After a week watching the new hire, John Calipari, I believe the program is better off than with Gillispie. This guy “gets it.”

CJ Penny’s Last Second Shot Sends Anderson Co. to State

This is why basketball is my favorite sport. Anderson County has never made it to the Sweet Sixteen but that’s all changed now! C.J. Penny was stone cold clutch.

Jodie Meeks for National Player of the Year

UK has started the ball rolling in promoting Jodie Meeks as a National Player of the Year candidate and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer kid. Go Meeks go!

Worst Basketball No Call Ever

The ref who should have made this call should have to pay back the money he made for this game… times five. I previously posted the Worst Travelling No Call Ever and it was even worse than this one. But since this is Duke and everyone hates Duke, I’m giving their boy the nod. [via RockTheWristband]

Best Superbowl Ever

What a game! I was hoping the Cardinals could have come out on the winning side but losing to Pittsburgh is no huge failure. The finish was insane. Major props to Santonio Holmes and Big Ben.

The above E-Trade is my favorite of the Superbowl commercials and it didn’t make their Top 10. Huh?

Baby Girl Has Mad BBall Handle

Milan Simon Tuttle is just getting started. That’s right. She’s only 5 and dribbles better than many college players. Heh. Too funny.

Oh yeah, UofL beat UK on a last second 3-pointer. Pfft. Sosa isn’t going anywhere. Whoa! ESPN just redesigned their site. Give me a moment to get my bearings.

Whiney Baseball Manager Needs an Ass Whooping

This, like fighting in hockey, is why baseball will never be as popular as football or even basketball anymore.

Wow… just wow…

Michael Jordan Loses 1-on-1 to Old Man

I’m surprised MJ didn’t send his “friends” after the WSJ for letting this clip get out.

Worst Travelling No Call Ever

I know, I know, it’s very important, given the economic collapse and subsequent end of the world and all… but look at his feet!! Oh my gosh! The refs need to be relieved, retired or sent to a refresher training course or something. For the love of Pete Maravich!
