Misty may need to shine up her pole again

February 8th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

In yet another bizarre decision by a Division I athletic department, Louisiana State announced today that it’s firing head basketball coach John Brady. Immediately.
Okay, no,  not immediately. They’re letting him coach one more game. Why? I have no idea.  Oh, don’t get me wrong, I thought they’d fire him soon. He was a very, very [...]

The Knight Phenomenon

February 5th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

I’ve been sitting here for the past two hours, trying to sort out my thoughts on the surprise announcement that Bob Knight was resigning immediately as head coach of Texas Tech. I still haven’t managed to do so, but I’ll try to put those thoughts into words anyway.
First things first - if you’re scanning around [...]

Hubert Davis’s Personal Top 16

January 21st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

I know that it is a meaningless poll, much like the BCS.  But  being a college basektball fan, I do check the weekly Power 16 poll on ESPN.com, even if they seem to be doing their best to hide it.  Maybe you could mix in a static link?  I know you are trying to hit [...]

RPI Watch: Tryptophan edition

November 24th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

It’s been a few days since our last RPI watch…and I can’t help but laugh at some of the things we’ve seen so far from the college basketball world. First and foremost, what the heck happened to Dick Vitale’s voice? It’s gotten progressively worse every year, but now it sounds like he’s breaking up gravel [...]

The RPI Watch - Paradise Jam edition

November 20th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized
