In this small southern college town, it is a cool damp Monday in December. The college football regular season is over. The NFL is down to it's final 3 weeks...and the NBA is off and running.
Some things we learned over the past few days:
And the final 4 is?
'Tis the week before Christmas in this small southern college town. Let's see what that sports world is humping about.
I think this guy is a tad upset over his team:
No stopping the hormones of a 20 year old male. Last time we saw Louisville guard, Kevin Ware...he had just suffered a gruesome broken leg injury.
Leave it to our friends at TMZ.com to find out about his sex life:
There are a lot of things Louisville Cardinals guard Kevin Ware
can't do since suffering one of the more gruesome injuries in sports
history ... but he told our photog yesterday in DC ... he can still get
down with the ladies.
We are suffering in this small southern college town. It's raining pollen...People with swollen eyes and stuffy noses are all around us. Sinus infections? Yeah! Constant sneezing? Yeah!
In all my years....I have never seen the pollen count this high. Our cars are yellow with this stuff. It's blowing in the wind.
You go outside....and wow! Yellow pollen dust goes up your nostrils. Your head aches. Your lungs congest...I personally have had 3nose bleeds...within the hour.
But...it is ...Hump Day. So.....let's ....hump:
Ho hum...UConn wins another women's title:
Two weeks ago...this madness known as March began. 68 teams...then 64 when those ridiculous play-in games were done.
Then 32....and the sweet 16.
The Elite 8!
The Final 4!
And now?
We don't watch Fox News. But...we have friends and informers that do. And once again the talking stiffs at Fox were the same old right wing republican spokespersons blaming the left and the democrats for this Rutgers coach getting fired...for being quite stupid.
Leave it to our guy Jon Stewart to set the record straight:
What an idiot...and the bigger idiot we think is the Athletic Director himself who really was made to look foolish on ESPN's First Take Yesterday:..
FGCU? Florida Gulf Coast University....Who are they....and why are they in the sweet 16?
We don't know. But what we do know...they can play some basketball. And...they can dunk a basketball.
Just ask Georgetown... And San Diego State.
Let us introduce you to the Eagles.

It has happened again. Big time college basketball coach...given his walking papers.
This time it is a friend of ours...Tubby Smith.
Big time coach....small minded school ...as in Minnesota.
Minnesota...your mistake. You just let go one hell of a coach.
Indeed they do...And they will move on in the tournament with a shocking upset!
The madness know as March...has begun. College basketball NCAA tournament started with a bang yesterday.
Two major upsets...some close calls...and some thrilling games:
Yes ...this is a football school. Yes...basketball is secondary. But I watched this game live. Georgia gave their all...had a chance to win at the end.
And then this.
Seems Georgia made a deal with the "football gods"....they're a pretty premier program.
But...the "basketball gods"....seem to frown upon Athens when it comes to winning meaningful games.
Take a look at this fiasco:
Strange night. A Georgia basketball team beat Kentucky. The big blue. The defending National Champs.
The University of Georgia views its men's basketball team as an after thought. Something to bide ones time before the main course....FOOTBALL.
Georgia is a mediocre 16-16...in a so-so conference.
But hey...they beat Kentucky:
We have on occasion, been kind of rough on the subject of women's basketball. But, be that as it may, we must recognize a very special feat.
Last night, coach Andy Landers of the University of Georgia Lady Bulldogs earned his 800th career win.
Coach, we salute you!
Okay, was this "sportsmanship"...or "showmanship"? I can't imagine scoring 138 points in one game.
Heck, I doubt if I scored that many points in an entire season.
But this guy did. So we will applaud him.
In this small southern college town.....weathermen all over this region are besides themselves in predicting record low temperatures for tonight. 28 to 30 degrees is what they're saying.
Bring in the pets.....
Bring in the plants......
Cover up the seedlings...
We say, Bring it on.....Is that all you have, April?
Is ......that the best you can do?
April .....never responded....so.......
Let's ....just do some "humpin'" .........
Freedom of speech?
Love him or hate him....He is what he is.....John Calipari is a winner.
Our congrats to the Kentucky Wildcats:
An awful lot went on these last couple of days. It was a pleasure to a sports fan.
Some ..."stuff".......we're following....for you:
He's.......baaaack!!!!
