What The F*** Happened This Weekend?...Recap

Another weekend in college basketball went by, and like the Blue Devils we're jumping up and having a sword fight in the air while recapping this weekends games.

3) Duke 93 Maryland 84-The Dukies avoided the same fate that their brothers down tobacco road as they rallied in the second half to down Maryland. The Blue Devils outscored the terps 51-33 in the second half of this one, and were clearly excited as Gerald Henderson's man bump in the picture indicates (seriously that is like straight up all man touching there. They could have at least attempted to make it look like they were trying to chest bump).

Connecticut 68 8) Indiana 63- With two players suspended (they didn't steal lap tops this time) Connecticut went into Indiana and upset the top-10 Hoosiers. Jim Calhoun said it was one of his best victories as a coach, and it could be just what this team needs to jumpstart itself out of mediocrity.

9) Georgetown 58 West Virginia 57- Georgetown is boring, has looked sloppy, and seems to get luck...but they keep on winning. For the second game in a row, Jessie Sapp scored the final 5 points for the Hoyas in another come from behind victory. Patrick Ewing pulled his best impression of his father with his block/goaltend as time expired.

11) Wisconsin 56 Purdue 60- In a matchup of two of the whitest teams in college basketball, Purdue was able to pull it out and take claim to the Aryan trophy. It was a big win for Purdue who is now tied with Wisconsin for second place in the Big Ten.

What The F*** Happened Last Night? Still Tired


In honor of Baylor and Texas A&M's marathon thriller last night, we're popping open some Red Bulls and trying to stay awake while we break down a few of last nights matchups.

25) Baylor 116 16) Texas A&M 110- First half: we're sitting enjoying this one flipping to American Idol during commercials --some of these people can't be serious with this singing. Aggies up six at intermission.
Second half: Baylor comes back to tie it up. Checked out Moment of Truth during timeouts...flat out retarded. Lot's of dumb questions and not enough destroyed marriages. Switching to ESPN for good.
First OT: decided to do a shot everytime time a three pointer was taken. Cringe with each foul.
Second OT:This one was boring so we tuned out to watch a few minutes of Heath Ledger: A Hollywood Tragedy. We start to cry.
Third OT: A&M up 5 with a minute to go but Baylor comes back. Decide to do man shots. Crying again.
Fourth OT: A&M comes back this time. More man shots.
Fifth OT: Not sure who's more exhausted...us or the teams. Baylor pulls away, we pass out.

18) Villanova 68 Rutgers 80- The dirty Jerz was in all its glory Wednesday night as Rutgers beat a ranked team for the first time in two years. Villanova looked flat out sloppy in this one --except Jay Wright who looked dapper as always -- and got out played from opening tip to buzzer. It was Villanova's third loss in six games as they dropped to .500 in Big East play.

What The F*** Happened Last Night? Billy Ball is Back















It's been a while since Drake University found themselves in this position so in honor of that we're going retro and wearing our best plaid suit and recapping last night's games...

5)Tennessee 66 Kentucky 72- For the second time in 10 days Kentucky beat a ranked opponent at home and are now on the verge of breaking the .500 mark. Bruce Pearl's orange jacket and Chris Lofton's SEC topping three werent enough for the Vols as Billy ball looks to be in full effect in Lexington.

Michigan 61 11)Wisconsin 64- It was only 4 weeks ago that Wisconsin was on the ropes against Texas before Michael Flowers' three pointer lifted the Badgers. Now, they are at the door of the top 10 looking in. It was also a few weeks ago that John Beilein said his team was a bunch of toddlers. Beilein's squad didn't look so bad last night as they took Wisconsin down to the wire behind a strong effort on the boards. Wisconsin needed this one as they start a stretch of games against Indiana and Michigan State (both ranked in the top 10) and a strong Purdue team.

24) Drake 68 Creighton 60- For years Creighton has seemed to be the face of the MVC, and upstart MVC program Drake needed five extra minutes to hold them off in this one. It's been 37 years since Drake went dancing in March, but things are looking good for the Bulldogs after this performance. It would take a Clemson 2007-like performance for them to blow their ticket to the tourney.

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.

What The F*** Happened This Weekend?...We're Back


It's been awhile but hopefully Money Mayweather got you through the weekend. Like O.J. we're out on bail and ready to recap all the upsets this weekend.

Maryland 82 1)UNC 80- It seems like years ago that Maryland lost to American and Miami (OH) -- it was actually a month ago -- because the Terps looked like the Gary Williams teams of old. Senior James Gist tore the Tar Heel defense up for 22 points as Maryland held on for the upset.

USC 72 4) UCLA 63- USC freshmen O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson did their best O.J. Simpson impression as they slashed through UCLA's defense for a combined 41 points. UCLA's own freshman and subject of current NCAA investigation Kevin Love, got his ninth double double of the season but it wasn't enough as the Trojans walked out of Westwood with the win.

9) Texas A&M 54 Kansas State 75- The Aggies hadn't skipped a beat this season since the departure of Acie Law, but Saturday they went into cardiac arrest in this one. Star freshman Michael Beasely dropped 21 for K-State who beat a top 10 team at home for the first time in 4 years.

16) Pitt 59 Cincinnati 62- Keeping up with ESPN's title of "Upset Saturday" Pitt decided it was a good idea to hand this one to the surging Bearcats. Cincinnati, a team that only won two big east games all last season, has beaten two ranked Big East opponents in a week. The way things are looking right now , if you can win 3 road games in the Big East you'll be in the regular season title hunt.

What The F*** Happened Last Night?


The Bruce was on the loose last night in Knoxville, Louisville showed up to play, and A-10 teams keep knocking each other off. All this and more in our daily recap...

14) Vanderbilt 60 7) Tennessee 80- Bruce Pearl rocked the rockytop orange jacket, and his team stepped up the defensive pressure in a route of in-state rival Vanderbilt. The Commodores were ice cold from beyond shooting 14% in losing their second game in a row.

12)Butler 52 Cleveland State 56- Butler was the darling mid major of pundits everywhere, but the Vikings would hear none of it. At 13-5 Cleveland State is no pushover but Butler looked flat in this one shooting 34% from the field.

13)Marquette 51 Louisville 71- Louisville looked like the team that was a preseason favorite for the Big East title in this rout of Marquette. Marquette goes as Dominic James goes, and the senior guard was non-existent in this one with three points and one assist.

21)Rhode Island 61 St. Louis 68- A week after setting a shot clock era record scoring only 20 points in a game against George Washington, St. Louis became the third unranked A-10 to upset their ranked counterparts this week. A good win for Rick Majerus and St. Louis but a bad loss for Rhode Island and the A-10 overall.

What the F*** Happened Last Night?


(9) Texas A&M 53, Texas Tech 68- One of our personal favorite coaches of all time, got his 900th win. Congratulations Bob Knight for showing me how to coach my 10-11 youth basketball team strict discipline and for teaching me the value of continued yelling at the volunteer refs. I’ve gotten thrown out of my fair amount of games and mocked those annoying reporters (alright...they were really parents) who keep saying "You aren't playing for fun." Screw that noise I’m trying to win.


(1) North Carolina 83, Georgia Tech 82- Georgia Tech is the only team that Roy Williams hasn't beaten on the road since his hiring, that changed on Wednesday. Hansbrough continues his charge towards player of the year with 27 points and 11 boards. Jeremis Smith kept GT in the game with 15 points.

(2)Memphis 77, Rice 50- Who woulda thought Rice had a basketball team. Another blowout for Memphis has the continue to push for that #1 spot.

(5)Duke 70, Florida State 57- Another solid ACC game, which was closer than the score indicates. Jon "Mr. Pale" Scheyler dropped 21 and with the help from solid FT's down ths stretch the Bluedevils get a solid win.

(20) Xavier 59 Temple 78- For the first time since John Cheney retired Temple actually decided to play some defense. Dionte "I Believe In" Christmas was unstoppable in this one dropping 23 for the Owls who beat a ranked team for the first time in two years.

What the F*** Happened Last Night?



Virgina 65, (7) Duke 87- Duke overmatched Virgina on defense, leading to easy layups by the white guys and big dunks by the black men (Gerald Henderson, DeMarcus Nelson). Nelson led the way with 20 points in an easy victory against Virgina.

Illinois 58, (11) Indiana 62- Before the game Bruce Weber the coach for Illinois was heard yelling at Eric Gordon "You jerk you were supposed to be on our team." Eric Gordon took that to heart as he scored 17, as the Hoosiers squeaked one out in Big Ten play.




An unwanted NBA note
As most of you have heard, the greatest thing to ever come out of Florida, Joakim Noah is having problems in the NBA. No, its not his ugly jumper or his overwhelming emotion. Joakim has been late for meetings and practice...probably too busy working on his dancing skills. Although his boy Al Horford (the more talented Gator) continues to stick up for his friend, I am seeing in the future a long list of problems that will lead to an early exit out of the NBA,(we can only pray). We will keep you posted.

What The F*** Happened This Weekend?...Recap



It was a long weekend in college basketball with nearly every team playing a game. So like Sidney Lowe we found our best Wolfpack red coat, are dressing like the Kool Aid guy and breaking down a few of the games from this weekend.

4) Washington St. 74 UCLA 81- Wazzu got more love than it could handle as Kevin Love dropped 27 giving Washington State its first loss of the season. The freshman phenom also added 14 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season.

6) Michigan St. 36 Iowa 43- The Spartans set modern basketball back a few years with this performance - a school record in the shot clock era. Iowa's Tony Freeman almost single handedly beat Michigan State dropping 22 points. Things were so bad for Michigan State that Tom Izzo's 7 year old son's youth team had a better shooting percentage than the Spartans did on Saturday.

8) Georgetown 72 Connecticut 69- Roy Hibbert shocked everyone with a 20 footer from the wing as the shot clock was winding down. It was the 7-2 center's second three point attempt of the day and his second make of the season.

12) Vanderbilt 76 Kentucky 79- After nearly blowing a lead late in regulation the Wildcats knocked Vanderbilt from the undefeated ranks in double overtime. The win will certainly quiet many of Billy Gillispie's critics who are unhappy with the coach's team who has sputtered to a 7-7 start this season

What The F*** Happened Last Night?...Recap


With the craziest college football season in recent memory over it's time to get your body paint, do your best Bruce Pearl impression and check out our recap of last nights games...

3)Kanas 90 Loyola (Md) 60- This one was over early as the Sherron Collins dropped 18 to lead the undefeated Jayhawks. Next up for Kansas is a trip to Nebraska to take on a strong Cornhuskers squad on Saturday night.

6) Michigan St. 78 Purdue 75- Michigan St. needed a 15 foot jumper from Travis Walton with 20 seconds left to beat Purdue. Kalin Lucas led the way for Michigan St. with 16 points.

8)Georgetown 76 DePaul 60- the 7-2 Roy Hibbert showed coordination en route to 17 points and the blowout victory for the Hoyas.

16)Marquette 65 Seton Hall 61- the Jersey faithful were in full effect for this one, but the Pirates effort wasn't enough to pull of the upset. Jerel Mcneal played Robin to Dominic James' Batman when James hurt his wrist. Dan Fitzgerald - the whitest guy on the court - clinched the win for Marquette with a 3 point jumper from the corner with second left. The Golden Eagles play host to Notre Dame and smoking Kyle McAlarney.

College Football (oh yes there’s a collage) Recap


Lets see if I can change the pace a little, see if I can get this year down to as little words as possible…

Wolverines lose to App St. then to Oregon. I wonder if Lloyd is done?
The tail of the number two teams: Oregon, BC, Uconn, Cal, and USF
41-point underdogs? USC drops to the Cardinal.
Ron
Zook brings back Illinois football
Lou gave pep talks

Colt Brennan breaks laws then breaks records
ND hits the bottom of the ocean while Navy soars with Jesus after 44 years
Oregon football? Down goes Dixon
12,13,15 laterals…walking on defense is a bad habit
McFadden runs hard, but
God only loves one heismen:
Tim Tebow
Bobby Petrino is back!
Rich Rodriguez throws the game then takes off for Ann Arbor
June Jones doesn’t enjoy paradise leaves Hawaii
Joe Pa coaches 500 games...I hope I can look
this good after my 500th
Goodbye Lloyd Carr
BCS Bowl games not very exciting (maybe that's why no one watched them)
Mangino loves oranges: Kansas over VT
USC puts roses in their mouths again. USC beats Illinois
Bill Stewart gets a win and a new job: WVU defeats the Sooners

Knowshon Moreno cool name and even better player: Georgia abuses Hawaii
Finally the big one:
Ohio State should give up
LSU National Champs

..I know I missed some but I tried, maybe if the BCS didn't give 4 of 5 of their bowl games (thanks Rose Bowl) to Fox, I would've tried harder.
