The Dookies Flushed

I really enjoy it when Duke gets rolled on national TV and the Clemson flush party last night was icing on the cake.

Christmas in July: No More Billy Packer

Last night while I was watching Rangers OF Josh Hamilton puncture a baseball like a strung out junkie smacks a needle,(too low?) this awesome sports update came across the ESPN ticker: Billy Packer will not be returning to CBS as their number one college basketball announcer.

I guess not all recent news has been full of gloom as I could not endure any more March Madness with Packer lecturing me for 2 hours about random, outdated college basketball history that had no direct bearing on the game he was announcing.

The game had passed Packer by too. Plus, in the year 2008 the most prominent college basketball announcer should use email and the Internet, which are vital tools to use for research in his type of work. (Please Insert John McCain does not use any technology joke here___)

Clark Kellog will be a solid replacement and Packer appears to already have a retirement plans.

The 2008 Shining Moment of Rock Chalk Jayhawk

A national title in college basketball combined with a BCS bowl victory in football leads me to wonder, WTF is going on in Lawrence, Kansas? I hope the hole in the wall bar near campus, "The Wheel" is still standing come Tuesday morning. The TV footage of partying in Lawrence looks awesome.

It was a crazy game and ending that I will dissect in greater detail later.

Pac 10 Champs Cheer Poon

While staying up late last night polishing off my weekly allowance of 3 Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's, I witnessed the UCLA/Stanford basketball game. The Bruins were able to grab 2 huge offensive rebounds in the final minute and benefit from a questionable foul call to put away the Cardinals in overtime.

The Bruins victory clinched the Pac 10 championship and gave me an excuse to show off some smoking hot Bruin cheer poon. I would post more pictures but my computer will over heat.

Storm the Court!!

I watched Vanderbilt upset newly minted number one Tennessee last night. The Commodores outplayed the Vols and deserved the victory on their home court. Vandy stud Shan Foster is a baller.

My problem was with the Vandy student body and their lack of a celebration afterwards on the court. They allowed 10 rent a cops stop a potential student party mob of a thousand. This is the ESPN highlights of the game and pay attention to the student section.

Here is the another post game video and notice the low number of cops with their weak barricade.

Vandy just beat the number one team in the country, an in state rival, and this is how the students celebrate? Lame.

College fans are usually criticized for unjustly spilling on to the court when a victory does not warrant such outward revelry. Not the other way around.

There is a reason that two of the best college hoops blogs are called Storming the Floor and Rush the Court.

Take note Vandy fan, this is how a student body storms the court after defeating a highly ranked team at home. Oklahoma State beat number 5 KU in Stillwater on Saturday and mayhem ensues immediately.



My favorite part is the long haired dude in an Okie State jersey with his hat on backwards, sprinting to half court and trying the chest jump bump on a Cowboys player. Awesome

Jeff Spicoli would have been proud.

The Sporting Blog saw the same weak celebratory effort out of the Commodores.

UPDATE: The Big Lead has a link to an article referring to Vanderbilt getting fined 2 times for their fans rushing onto the court. Still Very Lame.
