Aside from Bruce Pearl’s newly-freed, um, pearls, what else is going on this week?
- From the we-don’t-see-this-often file, Memphis’s home newspaper called out Tiger star and smack-ophist Joey Dorsey for being a
piece of oversized dungtroublemaker who deserves expulsion from the team. - Speaking of trouble, former Oklahoma State all-american Byron Houston was sentenced to four years in prison for violating probation based on a public nudity charge. Memo to Byron: please stay away from railroad tracks.
- Rivals makes a pair of arguments that the Big 10 or the ACC will be the worst major conference this year. Our vote, just like last year: Big 10.
- Tim Donaghy’s employer waxes poetic on the dangers of gambling to UNC athletes, while simultaneously casing the damage to Psycho T’s nose from Gerald Henderson’s errant ‘bow.
- A former Bruin riffs on his coach Steve Lavin’s wedding that he didn’t get to attend.
- Tony Mejia at cbssportsline.com came up with a list of top NBA players by school attended, and we found it fairly cool.
- Goodman talks about Arizona’s offseason (Chase Budinger got stronger), while Parrish confirms that UK fans are indeed nuts (lining up 3 days early for Midnight Madness tix).
- Finally, Norman Chad takes our fun, stomps on it, and renders it immature, selfish and otherwise useless.
