Grant of Rights Deal Great for ACC; Cincinnati and UConn Biggest Losers
Posted by klownboy in college basketball, college football on April 22, 2013
I wonder what those bloggers are thinking now. Are those haters/hacks from West Virginia sad that the Atlantic Coast Conference is here to stay (at least for the next 14 years)? Those are some of the questions I had on my mind when the ACC announced that it and its presidents agreed to a grant […]
Time to Put Pitino in the All-Time Greatest Coach Class
Posted by klownboy in college basketball on April 10, 2013
Rick Pitino made a bit of history Monday night. Not only did he become the first coach to lead THREE different schools to the Final Four, he became the first coach to win national titles at TWO schools. You know what that leaves us: figuring out where Pitino’s place is among the coaching legends of […]
Why the Old Big East Became Extinct
Posted by klownboy in college basketball on April 5, 2013
Yesterday signaled an end of an era for me. I remember watching Big East basketball since I was a kid in the mid 1980s. I remembered disliking those Georgetown teams that starred Patrick Ewing, Sleepy Floyd, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and later Allen Iverson. I also remember staying up late on Saturday nights with my […]
There Are Plenty More Mike Rices in College Basketball
Posted by klownboy in college basketball on April 3, 2013
I guess we all have seen the outrageously horrific video of former Rutgers men’s basketball coach Mike Rice’s treatment of his players in practice. No need to repost the video here, it was bad enough seeing it on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”. And thankfully, Rutgers FINALLY got around to firing his ass. Good for the […]

Posted by klownboy in college basketball on March 27, 2013
I am THIS close to burning my bracket. While three of my Final Four picks are still alive (Duke, Miami, Ohio State), my brackets have taken quite a beating in the first two rounds of the tournament – and no, I am not counting the four play-in games (“First Four” my ass). Wisconsin, my Elite […]

2013 NCAA Tournament Preview
Posted by klownboy in college basketball on March 18, 2013
The 2013 NCAA tournament is upon us. We all know what that means: filling out several thousand brackets, cursing hysterically at the number of said brackets that will be shot to hell after the first weekend, calling in to work with your “sick” voices so you all could watch the first two rounds at the […]

That’s right folks! I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and add some video blog entries – known to the blogosphere as “vlogs”.

Coach K Is a Grade-A Whiner
Posted by klownboy in college basketball on March 1, 2013
Duke college basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski made some comments about students rushing the court last night after a loss at Virginia. He said that he was worried for his players’ safety after last night’s game. Here is what Coach K actually said last night: “Look, do you know how close you are to — just […]
