After the Louisville Cardinals lost an epic, emotionally-draining quintuple-overtime game to Notre Dame back in February, Rick Pitino made a promise to his crestfallen players: if they won the last seven games of the regular season, the Big East Tournament, and then the National Championship, he would get a tattoo commemorating the achievement. [Continue Reading]

Haha – wow. Respect to Pitino for keeping good on his promise. Unfortunately, it sucks to have that tattoo on your shoulder! Helluva year for his squad though, why not remember it.

After Cam Newton went through Auburn it was blatantly clear that you don’t need a 1600 on your SATs to go there. In fact, I’m sure half the players on the Auburn roster are legally mentally-retarded. I’m glad this dude was a hardo enough to lay his bro out then stand there and gloat over it. Freakin’ moron – someone update him on the new helmet to helmet rules.

Just like when Pete Carroll got out of Southern Cal ahead of the NCAA posse for the Seahawks head coaching job, it appears Eagles coach Chip Kelly left Oregon just in time.

Obviously, it’s a coincidence.

According to Adam Jude of the Oregonian, the University of Oregon agreed that its football coaches “committed at least one major violation,” during recruiting from 2008 to 2011. It could clearly turn out to be a larger issue — for the Ducks. [Continue Reading]

For some reason this really irritates me. Why? Because Pete Carroll is loving life right now. Reggie Bush is loving life right now. Chip Kelly is loving life right now… All while others pay for their crap. There has to be something done about this. The NFL needs to stand up and make these guys pay for it. It’s simply not right. The worst part is nobody really associates Carroll with USC’s violations. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

Michigan reserve Spike Albrecht played the best half of basketball of his entire life Monday night, scoring 17 points in the first 20 minutes to keep the Wolverines in the game. While draining three pointers from all over the court, Albrecht also noticed supermodel Kate Upton sitting in the crowd, wearing Michigan maize. Since the two obviously have much in common, Albrecht took the hint and started up a conversation on Twitter. [Continue Reading]

I want to make one thing absolutely clear – I am not making fun of Spike at all here. You could see during the game the kid has crazy heart and this proves it. What does he have to lose? Nothing. Everything to gain nothing to lose here. A Tweet back from Upton is equal to a handjob from a Michigan coed. Seriously.

Out of the 8.15 million brackets submitted in ESPN’s NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge, the entry atop the rankings after Louisville won the national championship on Monday night was titled “Lennay Kekua’s entry.” The best bracket submitted on Yahoo! Sports, created by username BadgerBoi 3, was very similar to the “Lennay Kekua’s entry” but had one more incorrect pick (Florida Gulf Coast). ESPN.com user CraigGilmore created the bracket and entry name — a reference to the non-existent girlfriend of former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o — that won the challenge and a $10,000 Best Buy gift card. [Continue Reading]

For the record, I know this isn’t the actual creature ‘Lennay Kekua’. I feel the need to point that out because some of you like to try and call me out on things like this. There was a time when I thought that Manti Te’o would be haunted by this fake girlfriend saga forever, but to be honest I pretty much forgot about it. If this one out of 8.15 million brackets didn’t win I think Manti Te’o would have been in the clear. If I’m Te’o I’m just saying get through next Halloween and I’ll be good..
