KU Preview: Senior Day
Posted by Boo Radley on March 6th, 2010 under Basketball
There really is not a whole to preview at this point in the season. Everyone pretty much knows the drill now as we have exhausted the probabilities of how we can get a first round bye in the tourney. That doesn't really matter at this point. Its KU and its Senior Day.
As far as the game today goes, its pretty much as previewed last game. If KU's big guys play well or Sherron plays well,

Texas Preview: What will Texas Do?
Posted by Boo Radley on February 17th, 2010 under Basketball
Euclid pretty much outlined what has to be done the next few weeks, and this is clearly a monster game for Conference seeding and NCAA Tourney bids. While I don’t want to jinx it, a win gets us to at least 9-7 in the conference which I think is on the right side of the bubble, but 8-8 is clearly on the bubble. Chet should have more on that soon. So what can we expect

OSU Pokes Preview: FU Travis
Posted by Boo Radley on January 29th, 2010 under Basketball
I hate Travis Ford. I mean really hate him. I know we were going on probation. I know Rick Pitino and his home state school came a calling. I get all that blah, blah, blah. Doesn’t make it any better.
See Travis Ford was my favorite Tiger in 1989. He was on the Big Eight Conference All Freshman team. He hit a monster game winner up in Ames. He was going to be the point guard

Kansas Post Mortem: The Expected
Posted by Boo Radley on January 26th, 2010 under Basketball
Okay, I am not going to dwell on this game too much other than I hate losing to them more than just about anything. We just simply do match up with them very well in any way shape or form. Aldrich kills us, and when you add in the Morris twins, we have no answers. When Sherron Collins goes 2-11 with 6 points and we lose by 20, well that just shows that they are

OU Postmortem: Five minutes of greatness and then 35 minutes of suckage
Posted by Boo Radley on January 18th, 2010 under Basketball
The Tigers were due for a game like this, but it sure didn’t look like that at the start. A 10-0 lead turned into a painful 66-61 loss in a matter of 35 minutes. For the first five, which I did not get to see thanks to Xavier and Dayton, I guess the Tigers pretty much dominated as OU had seven turnovers during that stretch. After that, other than Bowers, the rest of the team

Thoughts on the KSU win
Posted by Gene Claude on January 10th, 2010 under Basketball
That was fun, in a "I like to cut myself" sort of way. I turned the channel at least 14 times, introduced my children to several hypothetical creative new ways for referees to pleasure themselves with foreign objects and had my typical anti-JT Tiller midgame sililoquy.
But the Tigers pulled out an almost must win game against the sort of team they aren't supposed to beat: Two experienced guards and a slew of big men. They did it

Mizzou DT commit Lucas Vincent impressive in all star game
Posted by Gene Claude on January 4th, 2010 under Football
Missouri commit Lucas Vincent earned rave reviews at the O-D All American Bowl in Myrtle Beach last weekend while playing alongside more heralded prospects (such as Case McCoy). The 6'3", 270 lb defensive tackle forced a fumble early and had 2 or 3 sacks. He was described during practices as unstoppable. All welcome news for a Tiger defense that can use all the help it can get, especially on the interior of the line. I

Texas Bowl Post-Mortem: The Tailhooking
Posted by Phenomenal Smith on January 1st, 2010 under Football
Where to begin? I could start by saying it's crow eating time for Mizzou, the program that whined about being put in the lowest of the low Big 12 bowls and then got thrashed. I could note that the Tigers managed to score a touchdown on its

Navy Defense.
Posted by rdc1 on December 30th, 2009 under Football
Head coach Ken Niumatalolo has called the Navy defense "the strength of our team" on many occasions this season. Niumatalolo has backed up those words by electing to kick off and put the defense on the field whenever the team wins the pre-game coin toss.

Navy’s Offense, or watch your knees, boys
Posted by Sheriff Blalock on December 29th, 2009 under Football
As we've all seen and heard by now, Navy runs the ball. They're fourth in the nation in rushing this year, and are consistently in the top five nationally in rushing.

Illinois Preview: Time to Party like 1999
Posted by Boo Radley on December 23rd, 2009 under Basketball
Very rarely is there a must win game in the month of December. Unfortunately for the good guys this is one of them. When you best non con win is over Oregon who has lost to Montana, Portland, and Saint Mary’s, NCAA committees don’t really look at you too closely, especially when you lose to Oral Roberts (absolute killer loss).
When the teams you are battling with to get one of the 6-7 spots in the

Mike Anderson and the Razorback State
Posted by Phenomenal Smith on December 17th, 2009 under Basketball
Mike Anderson recently spoke at the North Little Rock's Downtown Tip Off Club. Why? I don't know. I assume he got paid. The paranoid Missouri fan in me says Coach Anderson likes to keep his toe in the Arkansas water so he'll be considered when the head coaching job opens up. Unfortunately for John Pelphrey, that could be tomorrow. JR Slim (remember him? I don't) reports that

Danario Alexander and the NFL Draft: The Sound of Silence
Posted by Gene Claude on December 15th, 2009 under Football
I doubt that there been a BCS skill position player with a lower ratio of draft chatter to performance in the modern era. Hell, even BJ Symons and Sonnie Cumbie got talked about. NOBODY is talking about Danario Alexander.
