Congrats Eddie Sutton


The Patriots may have failed in their quest for a milestone, but San Francisco head coach Eddie Sutton put down the bottle and was finally able to get his 800th victory in thrilling fashion after his team came back from a 19 point second half deficit to beat Pepperdine, which was not burnt to the ground during the California wildfires, 85-82 in Malibu.
No longer will we mark the end of Sutton's career with memories of him getting toasted and crashing into things. Now we will replace that by remembering him in the same breath as Dean Smith, Adolph Rupp, and Bobby Knight (who we already compared him to anyway). So congrats Eddie, you earned this. Now go have a drink and celebrate.

Man I Hate My Life: Week Recap

Long week? We've all been there, but as bad as things seem here are a few people who have had worse weeks than any of us. It's the top 3 this week because things were hard.

3) Villanova- We we're going to say that Jay Wright had the worst week ever, but honestly, when you dress that good (no homo) how can you have a bad week? His team is a different story. Wednesday's loss to Rutgers dropped the Cats to 3-3 and gave a struggling Rutgers team it's first win in the Big East. Even Jay had too look bad after they lost their third game to an unrakned opponent

2) Rick Majerus- Noone can say Rick isn't an honest guy (or that he isn't fat), but honesty got him in trouble this week. First there was the rehashing of his exposure while at Utah then we found out that he loves killing babies. Sadly for him...Catholics don't like killing babies and he's on the hot seat. So now with his team 1-3 in the A-10 Majerus is getting threatened with termination. Majerus definitely knows what it feels like to be pregnant- he looks like hes been with child for like 15 years- but St. Louis doesn't care for its employees having original beliefs.

1) Eddie Sutton- What's worse than being forced out of coaching just a few wins short of a landmark 800th victory? Being forced to coach at San Francisco while going cold turkey seems like one hell of a punishment. After coaching at Oklahoma State for so long Eddie seems like he's being punished for something. Maybe he killed a stripper, who knows. All we know is that Eddie is in hell...b-ball hell. So when you think about how bad your week is, remember that Eddie Sutton can't get number 800 and can't even wash his sorrows down with a drink. That is a pretty shitty week...hell it's a shitty season for the guy.

What The F*** Happened Last Night? Big Monday


We're keeping an Eddie Sutton-like sobriety and bringing you a recap of last nights Big Monday games.

Syracuse 62 9) Georgetown 64- For a time in the second half it looked like the Hoyas we're going to drop their second Big Monday contest in a row. With his defense struggling to contain Johnny Flynn (24 points on like 50 shots) John Thompson III brought in Jeremiah Rivers to ail his teams defensive woes. Rivers, the son of the Good Doctor, was just what Georgetown needed as he shut down Flynn and sparked a late rally to give the Hoyas the victory.

12)Texas 63 Oklahoma St. 61- In a rematch of last year's triple OT thriller, these two Big 12 teams gave fans another electric performance. DJ Augustine dropped 26 for the Longhorns in their victory of Eddie Sutton Jr.'s squad. Ok St. had an opportunity at the end of regulation but rushed the shot under the basket to seal the game.

San Francisco 64 Gonzaga 72- In the night cap, the drunker Sutton, Eddie Sr., was looking for win number 800, but the Zags wouldn't allow it. Josh Heytvelt had six points, seven boards, and a handful of shrooms to lead Gonzaga in this one. Up next for the Zags is undefeated Memphis on Saturday.
