America's Tournament Dan Wetzel: "For three weeks you can forget about your big-market, big-city, big-revenue pro sports. The beauty of the NCAA tournament is that even someone like the little Albany Great Danes has a chance -- albeit the chance of a 16th seed about to play Connecticut, which means, what, a one in a million chance? According to USA Today, try one in a sextillion. So you're saying there's a chance. "

Kansas Wins National Title... ....although to read the article you would think that Memphis had it gift wrapped.

NCAA tourney is the best, but it could be even better. The NCAA tournament is the best three-plus weeks of hoops, maybe of anything, on the planet. But that doesn't mean it's perfect. It isn't.

Yeah...the opening round game is a farce. There's no honor in playing a game to see who gets destroyed by a 1 seed. And it does bother me that teams get the de facto home court advantage in many cases. Hello selection committe, have you been introduced to neutral site? I don't agree that the first round is a farce. For every #1 blowing out a #16 there is a #11 upsetting a #6 or a #14 or 15 making a run at beating a #2 or 3. Plus the fact that Most 8-9 and 10-7 games are basically toss ups of two pretty much even teams.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk...football?

I think the Big 12 showed they have some new teams to contend with from now on. The powers are still there in Oklahoma and Texas but seeing the games MU and KU played hopefully will make the nation take notice. And the TTU game the other night was an awesome comback. Soonerfan66 the only time I ever rootfor the sooners is in the bowl games and NCAA tournaments so I did feel your pain the other night. BTW Did anyone notice the assistant coaches stopping the players from throwing the water on Mangino? I'm guessing they were concerned about the cold water hitting him. I mean he is a good coach and I love what he has done with my 'Hawks but he is a walking heart attack.

Leaving the starters in may have been unnecessary and probably dangerous risking an injury, but as a long time Jayhawk who has sat through dozens of Nebraska routs I took greatjoy in it. In fact I was hoping for 100. I know that is not very sportsmanlike but after so many lopsided defests at the hands of the Cornhuskers it was extremely sweet.

Martina Hingis reveals she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon, announces retirement immediately thereafter. Is there any possible reason why she'd retire immediately after this announcement hit the news? I'm just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, I guess... whether or not it's warranted at this point.
posted by evixir at 01:27 PM on November 01
Maybe she just doesn't want the hassle of fighting it. She just came through a long injury spell and rehab and come back. Maybe another long fight of any kind is just not worth it to her.

Former Dallas Cowboy Ron Springs has "no hope" of surviving. Last Saturday, during a routine operation to remove a cyst from one of his arms, Springs fell into a coma. This happened seven months after Ron received a kidney from former teammate Everson Walls.

Ron is an amazing guy. He played 1 year in 1975 at Coffeyville Kansas Community College here in my home town before moving on to Ohio State. I remember him eating dinner at our house when I was a kid. At that time local boosers were allowed to have players over for dinners. He was always a nice polite guy. Even though he only played one year he came back every year or two for the alumni fund raising events and even for many of the big games. We have had many future pros play here but none have supported the college afterwards as well as Ron. My thoughts are with his family and hopefully those saying he won;t recover are wrong.

Is Jeff Gordon on his way to a 5th Title? Is He The Best of The Best ? He's passed Earnhardt for sixth on the career wins list, has 81 career victories, and will soon pass Cale Yarborough for fifth, and four victories will slide him past Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip. Check out his stats inside.

chico I agree that Gordon has to be a above average driver to win as he does. My point was simply that there are others who could have as much success with the team and equipment he has. Same thing for Petty in his time.

I have been a NASCAR fan for abotu 25 years. Long enough to remember the guys like Petty and Allisons and such but not to remember the real early days. But one thing stands out in my mind. In the 60's and 70's Petty had the big sponsor ship (big by those days standards). He was a great driver, one of the top 5, but you could have put several other drivers in that same car and they could have dominated also. Today you have much the same type of scenario. The big multi car teams with deep pockets when races. There are 10-12 drivers that in Gordons ride could win also. Not saying he is not good, but the money and multi car testing is a huge huge advantage. Additionally comparing todays drivers to the drivers of the 50's and 60's is like comparing the great football players of the 50's to today's players. It flat can not be done.

New Panthers QB: Vinny Testaverde. The 1986 Heisman Trophy winner joins his seventh team. At 43, he will be the oldest QB currently playing, though not the oldest QB ever. That honor goes to the legendary George Blanda who played until he was 48.

I wonder if there is any significance to the fact that most of those top cities are smaller market teams. There is no New York or Chicago or Miami on the list. It might be possible that in the smaller markets there is more of a hometown team sort of feeling. Anyway....Go Steelers

could this be a publicity stunt by the university to bring media attention to a small school? Or...could the team be so bad that it has to accept 59 year old players? Or a publicity stunt for him to sell his strength training program?

You know everyone keeps talking about Memphis blowing it and Memphis giving it away. Yea they needed to hit the free throws and all but what about Kansas never giving up. They could have easily said at 2:12 that it is over we can't come back. Instead they did exactly what they needed to do to win. Collins steal on the in bounds pass was the turning point. They did a great job of getting the ball in and bringing it down in the last 10 seconds. Collins did a tremendous job of avoiding the foul and getting into Chalmers hands. Mario did what every Kansas fan has watched him do for 3 years. Hit the pressure shot. The game was nothing less than what everyone expected. Two evenly matched teams playing a close, well fought game. Please don't take anything away from the Jayhawks.
