Thursday Teaser

Tuesday Teaser has a better ring to it, but what can you do. 

The 4 point tease is in...

ARKANSAS (+14.5) at Kentucky

OHIO STATE (-2) at Penn State


I don't love taking two road teams in college basketball, but the Hogs are getting A LOT of points. 


---------------------------

UPDATE:  Friggin Ohio State.  Jesus.  Never bet the Big 10, cause it sucks. 

Penn State beat Ohio State 65-63.

Worst.

Ohio State Band: Video Game Tribute

This past weekend the Ohio State marching band was even better than the football team, (and that is saying something considering they beat up Nebraska 63-38).  The band unvailed an amazing tribute to many video game classics.  Hang in there at the beginning, it gets real good.  Thanks Buckeyes, best thing since Eddie George and Terry Glenn...

Penn State Saga

The Penn State situation has gotten completely out of hand. One day after the school cancels Joe Paterno's weekly press conference, he comes out with a statement saying how he is going to retire at the end of the year and that the school should not worry about his status. What? Why does he get to say that? Yeah, you coached for 46 years at the same place, but sorry pal this one is out of your control now, after you let it go without doing anything.

Paterno needs to go, the President of Penn State needs to go, the WR's coach (then an intern or whatever) needs to go, and can the NCAA get involved in this one? If Ohio State and USC can get in all kinds of trouble for tattoos and some money, I think Penn State deserves something, right?

Fire all those who knew about it and did nothing. No bowl games for awhile, (sorry Outback Bowl, which seems to get the Nittany Lions every year). Something tells me that even if the NCAA doesn't do a damn thing, smart and talented high school football players who are getting recruited my multiple schools will see what's going on at Penn State and say, I might go somewhere else. Good.

Former Penn State DT and horrible Lions GM Matt Millen was on SportsCenter yesterday talking about the news coming out about his alma mater. I thought it was pretty good...

I will not be winning any bracket pools this year

I just did my first walk through of the NCAA Tournament bracket on ESPN. My final four was Ohio State, Syracuse, Marquette and Notre Dame...with Ohio State defeating ND 66-60 in the championship. Safe to say I'll need to go back through and re-evaluate some terrible decisions I've obviously made along the way. Admittedly, I'm a huge ND and Marquette fan, and incorrectly predicted they would play each other in the Big East and National Championship games. Although I came surprisingly close with the Big East tournament.

Later today I'll post some quick hits and thoughts on the brackets released last night. But please note my alma mater Northeastern will be traveling to Storrs, CT tomorrow night to take on UConn in a battle of Huskies in the first round of the NIT. The game will be shown on ESPN2 at 7pm. The Huskies (NU) are a #5 seed, while the Huskies (CT) are the #4 seed in their bracket.
