It was a great game. Ridiculous officiating though. Good grief, I've never seen so many missed calls. I had no dog in the hunt, I just wanted to see a good game. Two of the best point guards I've ever seen on the college level, Siva and Burke. Wow! Wish that it would have come down to the final play. Some coaching errors on Michigan's part at the end there. Congrats to Louisville.

This is why I was slightly more for Michigan than Louisville. When this story first broke, I was very disappointed. I had always respected Rick Pitino and thought that he was a classy guy. So much for that. And it's too bad that Louisville found nothing wrong with such behavior. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4394257Selam |

And I hate Rick Pitino with a passion. Trust me, there were plenty of calls for him to retire when that story broke, but quality of sports is more important than quality of character. But I won't let that ruin my happiness right now. Go Cards! Luke is amazing, Chane really came through too. I just wish Russ had had a better night. |

That Silva kid is special man. Wonderful player. I'm glad to hear that there were calls to get rid of Pitino. Like I said, it disappointed me because he comes across like such a classy guy. I can understand the adultery, although I don't excuse it. But rich, famous, charismatic people are faced with tremendous temptations. God help me if I was confronted with the same. But to pay for an abortion is just sleazy and evil on every level. I just hope that woman wasn't really pregnant. BAMA fired Mike Price before he even coached a game for committing adultery. I love Nick Saban, but if he pulled something like Pitino did then that would be the end of my admiration for him, regardless of how many games he wins. It's sad that sports has come to trump values and morality in today's society. It wasn't always like that. And certainly there are still good players and good coaches who do have tremendous character. But Tiger Woods' latest Nike add seems to summarize the climate of our culture: "Winning takes care of everything." I think Christ will have the last word on that one though. Selam |

According to testimonies from former Auburn football players, more than half the players on the 2010 national championship team were using an illegal drug called "synthetic marijuana." It's not necessarily shocking to learn that Auburn football players were using "synthetic marijuana." What's shocking is that at an agricultural college like Auburn they couldn't figure out how to grow their own.

On a somewhat sports-related note, does anyone on here have any experience in competitive shooting? I've been watching Top Shot on History Channel and many of the folks on that show are not even that good, I was thinking that perhaps Punch or Vamrat should consider trying out for the show. If you win in the end, you get awared $100,000, and for every "elimination challenge" you win, you receive a $2,000 Bass Pro Shops giftcard.

Alabama beat Tennessee, and Tennessee fired their coach.
Alabama beat Auburn, and Auburn fired their coach.
Then Alabama beat Notre Dame, and the Pope resigned.......

He's curmudgeonly, yes, but he is the most successful football manager in history I would suggest. Been instrumental in seeing Manchester United's rise and rise over 26 years and encouraged a wee chap from the age of 11 years to go on and become become a footballing star, namely David Beckham. Like him, can't say as I do not know the guy but admire his talent, yes! |

Since 1992, Tiger Woods has played in 300 PGA Tour events. Today, he won his 78th PGA Tour title at The Players Championship which leaves him 4 shy of Sam Snead for all-time PGA Tour titles. In June, Tiger goes for his 15th major title at the US Open where he won his last major title in 2008.

Alabama can replace Rutgers and join the Big 10 with the chance to play Maryland, Michigan and Ohio St. every year. SEC wouldn't like it; then again, there's no more loyalty in college football.

While on the surface Beckham is the type of athlete that I would usually not like (pretty boy, married a pop star celebrity, overrated player, etc.), I have actaully gained a lot of respect for him. He seems to be a classy individual who has been a great ambassador for the sport. He's remarkably humble considering his looks, fame, and fortune. He's not the greatest footballer ever, but when it comes to set pieces nobody was better. So congrats to Beckham on a great career! Selam |

So I've never really followed NBA much, but I've been meaning to change that, and I was thinking about declaring an official allegiance soon. Since there are no teams in my native southern Ohio and I'll be moving to Memphis in the fall, the Grizzlies seem like a logical choice. But since they're doing well now, is it possible to start rooting for them without being perceived as a bandwagonner?

Just do it! The Grizzlies are killing it, and you're moving to Memphis. Feeling like a bandwagon-jumper is pretty common when you first start cheering for a team in a sport that is new to you, especially if they're doing really well. The feeling goes away after a couple seasons of loyalty.  |

Part A: YOu should be a Raptores fan, being it fits with all the disappointment you are used to, being from around Cincy :-P Part B: If youre moving there, then nope. And besides, at least to me, it doesnt matter when someone joins a fanbase, just, better stick with them once they start sucking. |
