. . . Tom Jurich.
A source close to the situation, a source who has provided reliable information through the years, advises that UCLA is making a maximum effort to lure U of L Athletic Director Tom Jurich to L A.
The source advises the school in Westwood is offering unbelievable financial benefits to Jurich to try [...]

Bar none.
A little thing they like to call the Frozen Four.
I’m talking Miami (Ohio) vs. Boston University for the NCAA Hockey Championship.
Boffo. (And significantly more compelling than the NCAA Women’s Team Bowling Championship, won by Nebraska over Central Missouri, on another of the ESPN network of channels.)
Underdog Miami, which has never won an NCAA title [...]
Remember way back when in the days of yesteryear — oh a couple of years ago maybe — when the national press was perplexed when discussing an upstart football program that was crashing the party of perennial football powers. Those experts considered the University of Louisville to be conceivably on the cusp of breaking into [...]

That’s the question UK fans are asking today about Billy Clyde.
The Big Blue Nation is upset. With the team. With the coach.
And with each other. A Cat fan who was at the South Carolina game posted his experience attempting to engage the team and coach after the game. (A silly move really, given the nature [...]

I just discovered that Memphis State seriously considered honoring the commitment by Federal Express to its program in a very palpable way. By wearing the company’s colors, purple and orange unis, for a home game against SMU.
Apparently the Tiger fan base expressed its displeasure enough that the the athletic administration realized it wasn’t ready to [...]

It’s one of those mornings. Cards fans don’t care to read the paper or go to any of the basketball sites. They can’t wait until Sunday when DePaul comes to town, so they’ll stop spinning on the most disturbing debacle against Notre Dame. On the contrary, Cats fans are gobbling up every bit of bad [...]

* For some reason, my New York Times didn’t come this morning. So I checked it out online, wanting to see what type of coverage the paper gave the city’s premier college hoops team. Not much. It consisted of 5 paragraphs, taken off the AP wire in the Mens Roundup section along with blurbs about [...]

As I write this there are 655 days, ten hours, 27 minutes and fourteen seconds until tipoff in the new arena. More or less, I guess. Anyway I know that because of uolarenaseats.com, the new site with all the updated info on b-ball seats when the Cards move back downtown.
So, if you’re already worried about [...]

If you care about real basketball, if you want to see it played with discipline, if you like watching hoopsters make cuts and passes and go back door and be where they are supposed to be when running their team’s sets, go to Knights Hall the next time undefeated Bellarmine takes the court. (On January [...]

Nobody in sports telecasting is quite as dispensible as the breathlessly inane Jeanne Zelasko. There are others we despise because of their verbosity or overexposure or the sound of their voice. Like Vitale. Or McCarver. Or that fric and frac and toupee trio they trot out for NBA games. But none matches Zelasko for universally [...]
