Forde Excursion

Posted by Fake Ken Tremendous on August 13th, 2009 under Football

The college football season is fast approaching. That means the media nutjobs are starting to crawl out of the woodwork. Our first example is Pat Forde, who last week treated ESPN.com's readers to a strangely matter-of-fact introduction into his fantasy of an imaginary college football coup d'etat hypothetically staged by Forde and his buddies at the WWL's Internets outpost.

Anatomy of a Barking Carnival Post

Posted by Minnesotahorn on August 7th, 2009 under Uncategorized

So often I'm asked, "Minnesotahorn, how is it you guys at BC are able to provide consistently informative, insightful and witty commentary?"  Often this is by my cardboard cutout of Colt McCoy.  Well Colt, since you set a single season completion percentage record and because you let me fill in your half of the conversation, I'll tell you.  Let me walk you through the process of how the magic happens.  8:15:  Close office door.  Use full length

Forecasting The Big 12 South – 2009

Posted by TaylorTRoom on July 30th, 2009 under Football

Anybody have a problem with speculative guessing, supported by a framework of decent analysis techniques but sketchy inputs?  I didn't think so. In trying to predict the Big 12 South this year, what information do we have to work with? Only the schedules. Any power ratings of teams are just guesses and predictions right now. Once the games start, and the results come in, we'll have a much better idea of relative quality and chances to

12th Man of the Day

Posted by Vasherized on July 2nd, 2009 under Uncategorized

In what I hope will become a re-occurring tribute to our drooling cousins in College Station, today we bring you BC's first honorary 12th Man of the Day, Judge Richard Posner. Idoit, I Am. Other than merely looking like an Aggie, The Poz has no affiliations to A&M other than thinking like one. Which makes his stacks of degrees from Yale, Harvard, Chicago, and a bunch of other smart learning institutions

Thoughts on Rockets Game 5 and 6

Posted by Trips Right on May 15th, 2009 under Uncategorized

I watched the massacre that was game 5 from, ironically, downtown Boston, at a place called the Old Tavern. The highlights of the evening included the sheer horror I experienced from simply observing lathered up Celtics fan after a miracle win, talking to a couple of twenty something Irish bartenders who were fresh off the boat, and the best lobster I've ever eaten at a place called Legal Sea Food. When your meal

A Quick Tidbit on Damion James

Posted by Trips Right on April 14th, 2009 under Basketball

Talked to my guy, and after the banquet, word is that Damion James is still leaning towards returning. DJ wants a ring, he wants a degree, and he's disappointed in where he's projected in the draft currently. With Damion returning, Texas would arguably have the best frontcourt in America. It would certainly be one of the deepest with Gary Johnson, Alex Wangmene, and Clint Chapman coming off the bench. The backcourt

Fiftieth Anniversary of The Mercury Seven

Posted by Minnesotahorn on April 10th, 2009 under Uncategorized

I wasn't always a space geek.  In fact absolutely no one I knew growing up was.  Not that it would've been unmentionable if I had been.  Of course there was a mutual expectation of knowledge of and interest in sports but one was also allowed an idiosyncratic fascination or two without significant derision.  For some it was comic books and others it was WWF.  Some kids liked drawing and others

The Duke Shopping List

Posted by The General on March 20th, 2009 under Basketball

If you want a preview from a guy who know's the players names and shit, Trip's Right breaks down the Dookie's so thoroughly that you can't even find pieces of them in his stool. If you are in to sifting blogger feces, not that there is anything wrong with that. (Author's note: Look at my vocabulary. It is enormous. Three sentences and four different crap references. Print this out and read it on the

Texas Basketball vs. Minnesota Post Mortem

Posted by Trips Right on March 19th, 2009 under Uncategorized

I'm going to give this a tournament feel with a quick synopsis of what went down vs. the Gophers. Hell, boys, we have a full practice tomorrow morning and then a Saturday morning walk through before facing Duke. And for those of you that don't think we need to pack a lunch, the Devils have currently drawn 7 fouls, five minutes into their game vs. Binghamton. Dexter Pittman better brush his teeth. This'n

Halftime Thoughts

Posted by Trips Right on March 19th, 2009 under Uncategorized

Dogus is killing us when he doesn't look for offense either off the bounce or just shooting. He's two for two, he has some shooting cred, it's time to use it. Wrap your head around this, we're giving Dogus ballscreens 15 from the bucket, and defenders are still going under the screen. Shoot the Ball Doge!! Dexter Pittman can only be stopped by Doge's man helping. Damion James' jumpers are fool's gold.
