Does that graphic in the bottom right corner of the map indicate that all aquatic life doesn't think the UK/IU rivalry is still meaningful, or just seafarers?

very fitting that a mexican jockey won the Ky Derby on Cinco de Mayo, much I'm sure to the horror of the locals, who'd all like to see the "Beaners" ousted from the continental US...

it's good to see that even with a dominating season and a championship trophy in hand, the festus crowd still gets in a dither when folks (and by folks I mean BRM because he's bigger than several folks stapled together) start talking about all their cheating.

it's like feeling the first 80-degree day in March.

Big East commissioner resigns today. Nothing can stop that Titanic from sinking. Can the Big 12 be far behind?

GOK what ND is going to do, but it better be something and fast. I know they are not it for football but all their other sports are. They need a big time shake up anyway if they ever have any hope of being relevant again.

From KSR..........

R’uh r’oh, Ole Roy! According to a report from the Raleigh News & Observer, members of the University of North Carolina basketball and football teams may have been advised to take fraudulent classes in order to maintain their eligibility. An internal probe released on Friday found evidence of unauthorized grade changes and “little to no” instruction from professors in classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies:


“There were 686 enrollments for the 54 suspect classes. Of those, football players accounted for 246 of the enrollments, or 36 percent, while basketball players accounted for 23 enrollments, or three percent, according to UNC. Together, football and basketball players accounted for 39 percent of the enrollments.”

The News & Observer began their investigation after obtaining the academic transcript of former UNC football player Marvin Austin, who the NCAA discovered received improper financial benefits from an agent. Austin’s transcript showed he had taken an upper-level African Studies class from Julius Nyang’oro, the chairman of the department, during the summer before his freshman year and received a B+, a suspicious grade for a player who hadn’t even taken a remedial English class. Former state Supreme Court Justice Robert Orr, now a lawyer who has helped the UNC football team come back after the NCAA handed down its punishments for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, says that academic advisers, tutors, and members of the athletic department often encouraged athletes take Nyang’oro’s classes in order to maintain their eligibility:

What a shady program Crean is running. Shameful to run off two loyal, pimply-backed boys for that incoming talent. O can you imaging the gnashing of teeth and wailing that would be thrown about in the media if Cal were to treat a "student-athlete" in such manner?
