For some reason, the media is acting like the J.R. Smith 360 alley-oop is the greatest dunk ever. I keep seeing it on all the sports shows and in the highlights. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice dunk, but let’s not get carried away. For one, it’s a 180 alley-oop; this 360 talk is nonsense.
Above, well, THAT’S the best dunk I’ve seen all year. By a lot. And I love when pussies who stand under the basket get dunked on. God forbid you actually jump up and contest the shot. Or even just foul the guy. But standing under the hoop like a submissive vagina is a sure-fire way to get dunked on.
Are any of you familiar with POMx pills? Neither am I. But I’m now finding this company to be of extreme significance in the cheerleading world. Why? Because one of their people decided to hold their own little personal cheerleading contest on Flickr. Isn’t that nice?
So basically they took who they thought were the hottest college cheerleading squads and made a little gallery out of it. And with the tourney just around the corner, I’m happy it was put together.

It appears that all the stars were aligned on Saturday March 6th. On that day the Nevada Women’s basketball team lost to Idaho 69-62. A. I love that the number “69″ was in the final score (I don’t care how childish that is).
B. The Nevada Cheerleaders were in some serious form. You can bet your ass that some of the ladies ballers were digging the performances.

Villanova forward Taylor King has been suspended by the coaches for the Big East Tournament. The reason THEY said “personal issues”. The real reason…. the same reason Mike Krzyzewski asked him to leave Duke University, failed drug test. Speculative reports have said King elected not to take a random drug test conducted by coaches after the Cincinnati game, and just confessed to burning some trees.
Jay Wright needs to step it up a bit here. This isn’t the first time his team has had issues this season. The coaching staff has decided to bench King for the Big East Tourney, well ok. The inmates are starting to run the asylum here, just like tons of programs around the country. They’ll keep their image up with the “personal issues” cover up, but something tells me there will be more news in the future, unfortunately.
The story was yet to be published as of last night. I was very interested to see what press is released about King, who is playing about 20 mins a game this season and didn’t play a minute vs. West Virginia on Saturday. Now the public feels bad for him… “oh man I hope he’s ok!” Don’t worry, he is.
I don’t care how chauvinist it sounds. Women’s basketball is horrible. If I wanted to watch Men’s JV hoops then I’d go to some crappy gym on Long Island and watch a game. But let’s face it. The skill level is terrible and the world goes nuts when a chick barely dunks? No thanks.
But seeing chicks punch each other? Well that’s pretty cool.
It’s pretty simply – if you don’t practice free throws, you’re not going to be very good at shooting them. Other than the layup (or dunk), the free throw is the easiest shot in all of basketball, yet many skilled players continually struggle from the charity stripe. And some guys don’t just miss free throws; they miss so badly that it seems like they’ve never played basketball before. Always good for a laugh and a great way to feel better about yourself, check out a collection of basketball players missing free throws so badly that you’d think it was a joke or some sort. These aren’t just misses – these are embarrassing.
Way to go Lousville! Just in case you’re unfamiliar with this event, it took place this weekend.
On Saturday, February 27, 2010 the Louisville Flyers will be participating in the 2010 Polar Plunge at Tumbleweed on the River in Louisville. Actually, only 2 of the Flyers are brave enough to take the plunge. Danny Lane and Billy Bischoff will be representing the Flyers when they jump into the chilly Ohio River on that Saturday morning. The rest of the Flyers are collecting donations and will register as Team Members who are “Too Chicken to Plunge”. “Too Chicken to Plunge”
Well I can’t tell you how proud I am of these fine women. Especially risking their bodies in this cold, frigid water. And all for a great cause! Way to go ladies.

I went to college. Most of you out there went to college. We all pretty much know what it’s like out there. So to find that women’s lacrosse teams throughout the country party it up like we do is no surprise.
But when there’s photographic evidence, it’s a different matter altogether.
Most of these girls are on the FSU Lacrosse team and let’s just say I’d love to be on the Spring break field with them
