Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 12): Missouri to No. 2

By ⋅ January 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (61) As usual, Kentucky looked really good last week. I wouldn’t call them unstoppable, but they’ve certainly shown signs of dominance. For that reason, I think they are going to get upset soon. Before the matchup with No. 14 Florida, in fact. Because the SEC hasn’t been quite as strong as it looked [...]

Basketball AP Top 25: FSU Blasts North Carolina

By ⋅ January 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1.    Syracuse (60) Is there some sort of Syracuse equivalent to, “Roll Tide?” If so, I would like to use it to describe their continued success in the Big East. If not, let me suggest a few. Squeeze Orange Hold The Pulp Citrus Strong Fab Melo 2.     Kentucky (4) The Wildcats beat Auburn [...]

Book Review: “Geno: In Pursuit of Perfection”

By ⋅ January 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Geno:In Pursuit of Perfection is the University of Connecticut women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma’s memoir. Published in 2006, the mostly self-written book takes us from Auriemma’s earliest years in Italy to growing up in Norristown, Penn. The book touches lightly on Auriemma’s career at St. Joseph’s and Virginia before devoting the bulk of pages to [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 10): Temple Tops Duke

By ⋅ January 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (60) The Orange did their business last week.  At this rate, they look to have a decent chance of making it through January undefeated. With five of their last seven games against UConn, Louisville, and Georgetown though, they are likely to trip up in sight of the finish line. 2.    Kentucky (5) The Wildcats [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 9): Baylor Enters Into Top 5

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (60) Last week was business as usual for the Orange. They opened the conference slate with walk throughs against Seton Hall and DePaul. Things will get a little tougher this week, with games against PC and No. 20 Marquette. No one gets through the Big East unscathed, so Syracuse’s first loss should come [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 8): Baylor Defeats Paul Quinn

By ⋅ December 27, 2011 ⋅ One comment

1. Syracuse (54) The Orange played the eclectic duo of Bucknell and Tulane last week, and they will get started with Big East play this week. They will play a school almost exclusively associated with Big East basketball (Seton Hall) as well as a school that people often forget is in the Big East (DePaul). [...]

Basketball AP top 25 (Week 7): Syracuse Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (53) Solid win over NC State. I talked last week about how I didn’t think they were deserving of the No. 1 ranking. While they aren’t the best team in the country, they’ve done nothing to dissuade me from thinking they deserve to be No. 1 right now. They’ve done everything they’ve had [...]

Bowl Mania: Previewing Every College Football Matchup

By ⋅ December 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Gildan New Mexico Bowl (Albuquerque) Temple (8-4) vs. Wyoming (8-4) This is a surprisingly strong game to open the bowl season. These are both legitimately “good” teams. I wish them well. Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise) Ohio (9-4) vs. Utah State (7-5) This game is best known for drawing the ire of a punter. As [...]

Patriots 2012 Draft Report: Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State

By ⋅ December 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Markelle Martin, FS, Oklahoma State Height: 6-1 Weight: 198 2011 Stats: 65 tackles, 11 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles Overview: It’s hard to take any good from a defense that ranked 107th in the FBS. It’s even harder to look at any positives from a secondary that allowed 266 yards per game. But, if we [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 6): Indiana Marching Along

By ⋅ December 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (51) Do they really feel like the best team in the country to you? I would take a handful of teams against them on a neutral court. This No. 1 ranking is more a product of the schedule and other team’s losses than anything. The Orange are a Top 10 team, not a No. [...]

By ⋅ December 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston University men’s hockey player Corey Trivino is one of the leading scorers in Hockey East, the team’s first-line center and maybe its most valuable player. He was so good so early that he was drafted in the second round by the NHL’s New York Islanders in 2008. Now, he’s off the BU team for [...]

By ⋅ December 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The 2011 season is now over and it is time to predict who will take home the Heisman trophy. This year was one of the craziest years for the Heisman because there were a handful of players that could have taken home the award. Without further ado the final Heisman standings: 1. Trent Richardson, RB, [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 5): Kentucky Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (47) Did you see the Kentucky-UNC game?!?! It was ridiculous. The amount of talent on the floor was absurd, and I was transfixed the entire time. I don’t think there’s anything I can say that’s not already been said, so I’ll leave it at this: this season I’m rooting for whatever will lead [...]
