Yeah, he didn't want that to go to trial.

Spike TV came up with the top 10 most annoying fans. #8 about made me wet myself laughing:

8. Duke Blue Devils Basketball

Every Friday night, just before Dick Vitale pleasures Mike Krzyzewski under the scorers table, a collection of nerdy Duke students pitch tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium and stay up all night playing board games while waiting in line to watch their team make yet another glorious run to the second round of the NCAA tournament. They put on full blue body paint, jump around like a bunch of meth addicts for three hours, and then wonder why the school’s virginity rate is right on par with their field goal percentage. The average Duke fan is like that kid in elementary school with a collared shirt and pleated slacks who asks the teacher if she forgot to assign homework, while his Mommy tells him that “people are just jealous of how unique and talented you are” when nobody comes to his birthday party at the Planetarium.

It happened again....Return for TD that may have not been

Derrick Locke came close to dropping the ball before the goal line. It happened again Sunday.

ESPN: Kentucky #1 All Time

Jeff Sagrin and ESPN teamed up to rate each Division I program. Feel free to question the math.

I have to agree with UK being #1 (yeah I know, duh)...although I'd have UNC higher than 4, just my opinion. And Illinois over Duke? That one actually made me happy.

Then you have the haters. Pat Forde will not take it sitting down:

Memphis trying to get into the SEC

Memphis trying to get into the SEC

Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson says the school’s first priority would be to join the Southeastern Conference — not the Big East.

"Quite honestly, the truth of the matter is the lifelong dream of Memphis is to get in the SEC," Johnson said Thursday in a phone interview. "We’re surrounded by SEC country. When Arkansas got in Memphis thought they were going to get in."

Dr. Saturday Takes Jim Tressel to the Woodshed

Then kicks his dog for good measure. You always hear about UK fans being tough on a coach (i.e. Tubby, Rich Brooks circa 2005), but this guy unloads on Tressel.
