Oh you folks surely should visit Tarhole country. Absolutely the only basket ball team in the country! Naismith only thinks he invented the game. These folks believe that UNC not only invented the game, but bought the first peach baskets from South Carolina to make it possible. They think that...

Sure we should. Alabama would have. Hang the banner!

Seems to me the guys calling the game (ESPN) added to the ideas of what happened to Wheeler and Washington. If my memory serves me correctly, they said something like "Wheeler was slapped down, no call" then the replay crew pulled up the incident and sure enough Wheeler just wasn't graceful...

I was fortunate enough to meet Reggie White at one of his daughters AAU basketball games and he invited me to sit with him and his wife and we just talked through that game and most of my daughter's game also. He was very interesting to talk to and very gracious. We talked about our faith, our...

First game attended: Chattanooga 1969 18 year old freshman at U.T. But, listened for years, starting as a young boy sitting at the kitchen table with my Dad. We listened to an am station out of Bristol, that would fade in and out, ate pickled pig knuckles and saltine crackers. Great memories of...

Great news!! I guess this means that all television contracts, advertising and merchandising sales will go to the participating schools and the NCAA will have to downsize?

Erika Brown set an American record in the 1 fly! GBO!

Don't know if they have a guard or not, but there is zero guard play.

Here is what CBB had to say about it: "I felt that it was too difficult to win through the SEC to win a national championship," Bowden told Finebaum. "I felt like our best route would be to go through the ACC and that did prove out to be correct. I don’t know if we could have made it through the...

We usually travel to Clemson once or twice a year with our swim team and I really don't get. Their facilities are just ok. The stadium looks like two sets of concrete bleachers stacked on each other (outside facade lacking) and their indoor practice field looks like it is housed in a large...

There is no concern for college basketball by the NCAA or the Universities they represent. The only concern is for the continuous flow of money into those institutions. Having elite players in college, even for one year, furthers that goal. Remember, the NCAA is only a governing body...
