kevwun asked for a thread on the Coach Cal Memphis situation.
I’ll just put this up as a placeholder until Trips has a chance to opine, though I suspect he’s just going to say don’t go inside the abattoir.
We’ve talked before about the NCAA. Spencer has a great post up here. Coroners not sheriffs. Nice.
In other news the Fulmer Cup is kicking again and Billy Clyde is suing Kentucky for Breach of Contract Memorandum.

Loss in Waco = Win in Kansas City?
Tonight the Bears get their second crack of the year at Kansas State. The first time we played K State in Waco, we managed to lose the game despite being more efficient than K State offensively. While K State did outshoot us by 9%, and outrebounded us 36-32,

Thanks, St. Emilion.
That’s a good choice, but UNC was so good that Ty didn’t stand out as much as he should have.
Mateen Cleaves, Khalid El Amin, Ty Edney, those were some other tournament war daddies that come to mind along with Lawson.

Andrey Arshavin has a website where he takes questions from his fans and, apparently, types his own responses. It is AMAZING.
There is really almost nothing that I can add to this, but it’s so great it deserves its own post. Among the highlights — Arshavin giving marriage advice, Arshavin discussing whether he considers rain to

Thanks Whiskey, but I’m too busy tryinig to verify if Colt and Shipley were indeed room mates.
It’s a joke. They always talked about him boxing, though I agree, he’s a tough dude. I loved the way he fearlessly returned punts straight up the gut at 100mph.

The best guards are puported to come from Chicago, Illinois because in the windy city, you either score at the goal, or you risk having our J pushed two feet off the mark thanks to the 30 mph winds whipping off Lake Michigan.
To that point about guard play, watching the Big East tournament

Yeah, but here’s the thing — you have to have some way to resolve draws. Endless extra time is impractical, because these games are played in the midst of regular league and domestic cup features — you just can’t play that much extar football. Penalty shots are even more arbitrary than away goals.

Mistakes from nerves should not be a reason to unjustly allow one goal to count as two. It goes against the true laws of the game. No other sport has a “point” (goal in this case) scored by one team counting for more than what it would for the other team. It

Is it just me, or does Kansas have a really annoying tendency (for fans and opponents, I would think) to just play with teams for a while and struggle along before finally going in for the kill? I can’t decide how much of this they control and how much of it is inconsistency.

I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s game since the conclusion of our last one. As I posted on my blog, I think A&M will be hurt by the loss of Dash Harris for this game. He may or may not be healthy enough to play, but he should not play either way.

It’s great reading Kentucky fans defending Calipari. They sound exactly like Memphis fans used to. They’re right, he’s never been found guilty of anything by the NCAA. They also probably won’t find him guilty of any wrong doing when Kentucky goes on probation in a few years. By then I imagine it will be the NBA or retirement for good ole Saint Cal.
