    WBB to add 10-second rule?

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I don't know everyone as well as I wish I did.

    That's legit. Time will tell.

    NFL: Urlacher close to joining Vikings?

    Wiggins to Kansas

    For the record, Durant's Texas team finished 3rd in the Big XII and got bounced in the second round of the NCAAs. Although that's less on Durant and much more on ol' Ricky Barnes. :biglaugh: I'll be honest, this signing doesn't change my opinion of the Big XII very much. Kansas is still...

    Who Big 12 teams are losing, returning, and adding

    We will now see some pundits scrambling to pull back their pick of Okie State as conference champ. However, I still like the Cowboys. I know Wiggins has the whole "can't miss/next Durant/next LeBron" hype, but Okie State is still very talented and has a major experience edge.

    WBB to add 10-second rule?

    They have the rule in high school. They have the rule in the WNBA. I've never understood why they don't have the rule in college (and I don't buy the whole "30-second shot clock does the job" argument, if that was the case, men's hoops wouldn't have a 10-second rule; heck, the NBA has only a...

    Roundup: Significant football recruiting weekend ahead

    Don't hold your breath. The guy Ubben replaced didn't care much for anything north of Oklahoma either. Ubben loved him some Jake Knott, but other than that, all he ever says about ISU is "well, Paul Rhoads always overachieves, but I'm not gonna pick 'em to do anything again." Then he posts 8...

    Rivals Camp Top WR's and Lazard

    I'm about two more NFL combines away from absolutely hating 40 times. :wink: Seriously though...this is just what I think I'm seeing out there, but I don't think our WRs have been lacking for speed. Jarvis West is fast. Josh Lenz was sneaky-fast (didn't he run a 4.3-something at the pro...

    Update on replacing T.J. Otzelberger

    Heh...that's exactly why I put the qualifier in there. I had a feeling Northwestern might be worse. Still, the Devaney in Lincoln is a dump.

    Update on replacing T.J. Otzelberger

    I covered Doc's Nebraska teams for a few years. First off, when Chris or someone else says you can't recruit to or win at Nebraska, that is absolutely true (or it was, anyway; they're opening a sparkling new arena next season and have a new practice facility, so the children of the corn are...

    Williams: Ain't trading Georges Niang for the world

    I know people don't want to compare Georges to Nerlens Noel now 'cause Noel tore his ACL, but Niang was having the better season even before Noel got hurt. Don't get me wrong, you need athletes. ISU was WAAAAY more athletic than Notre Dame tonight. But you also need the guys with the high...

    ND Coach: "Men playing against boys"

    One thing I took away from that quote is something a lot of people are realizing this year: the breaking-up Big East is overrated this season. No one in that league but Louisville can score consistently, and the conference has very little athleticism. And it's been trending that way for a...

    Could Melvin Ejim eclipse the 1000 point total this season?

    He's been the workhorse on a team, surrounded by flashy thoroughbreds. Think about it. He played as a freshman on a team led by future NBA'er Diante Garrett. His sophomore year, he was alongside Royce White. This season, he's surrounded by Korie Lucious, who has Final Four cred; Will...
