    New NCAA rule allows scrimmages between teams

    I did not know this, but a recent NCAA rule allows teams to have scrimmages between D-I teams instead of exhibition games against non-D-I teams. Stanford will face Nevada in one of these scrimmages in October, but nobody is allowed to watch, not fans, not even the media. Here is an article...

    Nice article on Boogie

    Not sure if this was posted but it is an article in the Appeal-Democrat, the local paper from Yuba. Quotes from Coach Corn and Chuck Buescher. http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/2006/07/22/news/local_sports/sports1.txt

    First Valley preseason report

    The Valleytalk has a discussion going about the July preseason report of the MVC on USAToday.com http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/mvc/home.htm This report is not very well done, as they make no mention whatsoever of Xavier Crawford at BU or Jordan Eglseder at UNI or Josh...

    Reverse Integration?

    Is this a bizarre story or what? Black Americans are "disappearing" from baseball. Example: The St. Louis Cardinals have no Black American players on their major league roster, AND virtually NONE in their entire farm system. Blacks make up only 8% on the major leagues, well under 1/2 of the...

    IHSA to rule on Manual HS

    Manual HS wants to stay Class AA rather than drop into the Class A division based on enrollment. It is somewhat unprecedented, but I don't see why the IHSA shouldn't allow them to do it. In almost all areas of competition players and teams are allowed to "play up" into tougher levels of...

    Bruce Pearl Becomes 2nd Highest Paid Basketball Coach

    At Tennessee! The university gave women's basketball coach Pat Summitt a raise to $1.125 million per year. Pearl's salary is a meager $1.10 million per year. http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/sports/colleges/14641675.htm Is there any other D-I institution or any institution anywhere...

    Year of the midmajor

    It was the year of the midmajor in college basketball, and while watching the NBA playoffs last night, I got a little of the same feeling, as I noted several of the players who are really performing well are from midmajors. Ben Wallace, Virginia Union Steve Nash, Santa Clara Raja Bell, Florida...

    Great Video

    Gotta watch this one. Watch the left hand of the player in white, Nuggets' Reggie Evans as he reaches into the crotch of Clippers' Chris Kaman and grabs hard. Obviously Kaman didn't like the maneuver, and immediately goes after Evans. It's all caught on tape: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Itu6BeKEi8Y

    A Marcus Sikes mention

    This AM's PJS mentioned Marcus Sikes as one of BU's recruiting targets. They made a mistake, though as they described him at 6'-7". He is 6'-8" http://www.msjc.edu/athletics/mbasketball/players05/no44msikes.htm

    Jim Larranaga - Coach of the Year

    No coach of an 11 seed has done this, least of all with players that all the BCS guys passed on. And he's gotten there knocking off top seeds and #1 ranked programs. How this can NOT be the COY is beyond me! If he had a team of McDonalds AA's then I'd maybe expect it, but this guy can coach!
