Game of the week of the year of the century

#3 Syracuse University Orange at #4 University of Pittsburgh Panthers

We have been unofficially, now officially on record in saying that Syracuse is overrated. Even Orange coach Jim Boeheim said so. Out of all the elite teams we feel Syracuse had the weakest schedule with the most unimpressive wins wins against powerhouses like Canisius, Detroit, William & Mary and Iona. Tonight will show one of three things:

1) A Pitt win will show the Panthers continuing to demonstrate good road victories
2) An Orange win will show they deserves to be ranked this high
3) An Orange loss will show they are who we thought they were

May the spirit of Carmelo be with them.

Meet the OJ Spartan

This should affect Baylor in next week's blogpoll. The Bears beat the Aggies in quintuple overtime!!!

Can you imagine how insanely tired both Texas A&M and Baylor were? Good fucking job to Baylor and they definitely deserve the This Is Sparta! award for that effort.


Party on you Bears.

Next, Carmelo Anthony determined to destroy OJ Mayo's career at the same time he goes down in flames.

The NCAA states that student-athletes may not receive "free or reduced-cost admission to professional athletics contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services also are available to the student body in general."

Mayo, averaging a team-leading 19.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, said Anthony made the offer of tickets at a party he hosted Sunday night.

"I was talking to him like, 'Man, you're out pretty late. You've got a game tomorrow night against Kobe (Bryant),"' Mayo said. "He said, 'Nah, it will be all right.' And then he asked, 'You want to come to the game?' And I was like, 'Sure."'

For the record, Carmelo's Nuggets went on to lose against the Lakers 99 to 116. Now by Carmelo saying "Nah, it will be all right," was he being the usual NBA cocky, or did he know they were gonna lose against Kobe anyway so might as well party?

The tix were courtside seats near mid-court and worth $230 each. I guess Mayo is relieved he didn't have to pay to see his buddy get beat down...


Nice seats...

Geez I hate the pros...

Like I need another reason to bash the NBA, but I'll do it anyway!

Denver was playing LA and Carmelo Anthony just CHOKES Sasha Vujacic because he was just getting the better of him on a possible pick play. Now if that would happen in college, besides being ejected, Carmelo would have been suspended or EXPELLED from school!

But I'll bet he'll just get a slap on the wrist and a small fine.


Don't you long for the days of Syracuse, Carmelo?

The NBA. It's FAN-TASTIC!

(HT: Basketball Forum)

Something is fishy...

First up in the queue, Carmelo Anthony paid $3,000,000.00 to name the new Syracuse basketball center after himself.

Hmmm... Only there for 1 year, but did lead the Orangemen to the NCAA Championship. Kind of torn there...



How much was Lorenzo Romar sweating before the NCAA finally declared his star recruit Venoy Overton eligible to play this year?!

Scene - Huskies campus on a cold Tuesday morning
Romar (briskly walking toward his office): Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck....
Student: Hey coach! How are we looking this year?
Romar: FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!


Welcome to the neighborhood, rookie...

Finally... Tennessee's star forward Duke Crews has been suspended indefinitely for violating "team rules". Team rules? Indefinitely? Something doesn't pass the smell test there. You get suspended for a game or two for breaking "team" rules. Indefinite suspensions happen when you are arrested for driving drunk with a trunk full of nose candy.


Ain't mine yo...

But school officials are maintaining that this is internal and has nothing to do with law enforcement. What, did he rape the university president's daughter?! The Tennessee blogs are blowing up over this with most people screaming WE'RE FUCKED!

More has to be revealed on this one...
