NCAA basketball is really tough to get into the first month. It's lots of games against bad teams with the occasional tournament, that may also involve a lot of bad teams. Plus it's the heart of football season. I barely even pay attention to basketball, pro and college, until Christmas.

Oh no I get it, there's always a lot of "why are we playing this team" in November, and football definitely dominates. I was more making commentary on how good Kentucky has been in football this year, and the fact that we play Duke a week from tonight to open the season but all anyone is talking about is the game against Geogria on Saturday.

We're definitely a basketball first school, but we do have passionate football fans (some of us even prefer football) and when we're finally given the opportunity of a once in a lifetime season we are fully bought in. The last time the football team was this good was 1977, and we won the NCAA tournament that same school year in '78. Really hoping history repeats itself this year.

Bad, very bad!

When asked about the clip, Woodbury told Stadium, “I did that. I own that 100 percent.” He said that the clip was just three minutes of a 20-minute conversation.

He also added that he didn’t regret it.

“No. [Expletive] no,” Woodbury said. “Yes and no. I regret the fact I tried to be a father figure. It hurts my heart.”

What a goddamned jackass.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Looking at guys like this, and then being in the middle of the loving awful football mess at Maryland, the only comparison that really seems valid to me anymore is the NCAA and admin classes treating athletes like natives of places they've colonized. They're just raw material to export back to the homeland, to be used up and then spat back out again. The cognitive dissonance just gets worse and worse every day.

Speaking of 7'2" guys I'd forgotten all about Bol Bol after seeing some highlights of him clowning kids who were a foot shorter than him in jr high a few years ago. Uh....his game (and general athleticism) is not what I expected it to be.

I just assumed he was going to end up a spindly plodder who was just taller than most everyone. Not, like, taking guys off the dribble. Even if these are guys from some random D2 team.

So people stop asking, the "Bi" in my username is a reference to my love for the two greatest collegiate sports programs in the world, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Marshall Thundering Herd.
WVU loses to Penn State 84-82 in a charity game. Both teams were without starters, but I think they both looked pretty solid.

WVU is going to struggle in the backcourt, but will be much better with Beetle Bolden back. Penn State is going to win some games in the Big Ten, was really impressed with them.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
