. . . and giving serious props to Gary Parrish, cbssports.com’s college baskeball expert . . . and praying for Billy Clyde Gillispie’s recovery.

A little over a half decade ago, when he was at Iowa State, he was legitimately in the conversation about the [...]

Moniker of the Day. Is there a more appropriately skewed nickname in sports than the Cincinnati Bungles? Talk about hard cheese. When it takes a miracle to beat the striped ones at Paul Brown Stadium, the miracle occurs.
Who Ya Got? Jay Cutler or Kyle Orton? Superstar whiner Cutler was 17-36 with a TD and — [...]

Guess which upper echelon hoops program nabbed the best junior forward in the land over the weekend? Ho hum, it’s the Tar Heels. The rich continue to get richer. Kid’s name is James McAdoo. That sure sounds familiar. I wonder if he’s relatedto . . .
No American man has made it to the quarter [...]

Billy Clyde Gillispie has apparently been booked and charged with DUI in rural Kentucky. I have no intention of commenting on that, which is a personal matter.
What I do wonder about is this? He’s filed a lawsuit against UK in Federal Court in Texas. For jurisdictional purposes, he claims that he’s a resident of the [...]

Whether they are more talented as a whole is something that can be debated forever without resolution.
But one thing that’s missing [...]
Sporting News just published its list of America’s greatest sports coaches of all time. It includes the usual suspects at the top — Wooden, Lombardi, Bryant — and no stunning surprises.
Such lists are just the type of exercise fans love to argue about. Let’s get one goin’, eh?
