1. With Duke being blown off the court, asking whose #1 is difficult and in reality there will be 4 number 1′s in March. Top 4 teams heading into February in college basketball?

Indiana Vince
Isn’t it funny when Duke loses a game and people almost gasp like they couldn’t believe it? Like 32-0 was what they figured. Miami is no slouch and Duke played a horrible game, it happens. Anyway Duke is hanging on to one of those top spots and i’d give the other three to Syracuse, Michigan, and Arizona (despite their loss to UCLA).

@StraitSportsG

I don’t think people gasped because they lost, they gasped because it was their worst defeat in like 30 years and this was a #1 team. Had it been during the bad back years of Coach K then it would not have been much more than a blip. ACC is weak so I agree Duke can stay around those top 4. I think Kansas in a weak Big 12 and Michigan in an overrated Big10 will keep the top spot. I think the 4th spot will go to one of the Big East teams and right now it has to be Syracuse.

2. One team not in your 4 that has the best chance to climb in to the mix?

@StraitSportsG
I really like Florida to have a chance. They are in a perennially bad conference and this year the only other top team, Kentucky, is way down. No worries Cats fans, way down just means 7-10 losses. When the real NCAA tourney began in 1970 ,with 32 teams, you would have been worried but not today. I expect Florida to drop one more in the regular season and with a couple conference tourney wins will sneak into a number 1, on the back of another top team hitting a skid.

Indiana Vince
No doubt it’s Indiana. With their remaining schedule they can prove they’re worthy of one of those top spots. 7 of their remaining 12 games are against teams currently ranked in the top 15. Seriously the top 15. and the other 5………. no team with a losing record and combined records of 48-29(Nebraska is 10-10).

3. A ranked team beating another ranked team…storming the court worthy?

Indiana Vince
Did you not see that college kids and recent grads think they are the greatest? Narcassism runs deep in these kids. That’s the only way I can explain why these children storm the floor like they just won the title game. They think they’re special and every time their team wins a good game they want everyone to see how special they are. How they were the one on the court who made the big shot or at least licked the sweat off the guy who made it . Do I sound mad? I am. It’s stupid

@StraitSportsG
It has certainly become ridiculous. People don’t even care why, they just want to rush the court. There is just no etiquette and sure it has to do with young people and their disregard for tradition. A court storming is something that should be cherished and used sparingly, yet it seems every victory is a court storming and that cheapens the novelty.

4. One question to ask Manti Te’o?

Indiana Vince
What do you do to unwind after a long day of being followed around and asked embarassing questions?

@StraitSportsG
When you see the foot prints in the sand do you think she is carrying you?

Upset Potential
#4 LSU vs. #10 Florida
CBS at 3:30PM
If the SEC East is ready to show it’s back, this game is the perfect opportunity. The Gators offense is stil an big issue. The Passing attack ranks 110th in the nation, which believe it or not, is worse than the Tigers (95th)! Mitch Muschamp is looking to prove himself after last years Charlie Weiss inspired turd. The teams actually mirror each other extremely well in major categories. The defenses are 9th and 10th in Points Against with 12.6 (LSU) and 12.8 (UF). The Rushing attacks are 18th (LSU 229.6) and 20th (UF 224.5) respectively. This will be a defensive slobber knocker. My guy Les Miles loves these games. Games that no one knows what is going to happen is exactly when he shows up and proves to us why he is a winner. I expect the defenses and kickers to score more points than either offense. LSU is a 2.5 favorite in the Swamp against a top 10 defense, and you know Vegas is pretty smart! I don’t know if either team will score out of single digits.
LSU 12 UF 7

Don’t Bother
#21 Nebraska vs. #12 Ohio State

It doesn’t matter…Ohio State doesn’t count and every victory against a Big1G team hurts its chances this year. It’s not Urban Meyer’s fault and the Buckeyes will be dominant in a routinely underperforming conference. Yet, Every loss by what is perceived as a top Big1G team hurts it’s stock in the national debate.

George: I think after UK and UNC that Kansas is the most talented team in the nation. The problem is, talent only goes so far. Consistency by TRob and Tyshawn Taylor is sorely lacking. They get beat by Mizzou by a few points but blew out Baylor twice. This team is the reason I hate my brackets but love filling them out every year.

nickev: I’m going Florida. Despite being handled by the Cats on Tuesday night, I really believe that this a top ten team. They are loaded with perimeter guys and if given touches Patric Young could be one of the best big men in the country. But, with their reliance on the three-point shot, you never know what is going to happen with this team. They have the ability to beat anyone in the country. But, I also think they could lose to anyone on a given night. Look at their double-overtime loss to Rutgers.

2. Gisele hating on Brady receivers…Do you care?

nickev: She’s hot and I’m really happy they showed her during the Super Bowl because it earned me a $30 profit via a prop bet. But, do I care about her getting on Brady’s teammates? No. To me it’s just like somebody’s grandma cussing out everyone except for little Jimmy after his baseball team fell in the 11-12 year old championship. Granny don’t know anything baseball but she is watching her grandson. Neither does Gisele. She’s just way, way hotter than Granny.

George: She was fired up and I love it. It was certainly a little Ralph Cramden bus driving but no big deal. Why does Brazil seem so amazing?

3. What did Marky Mark do with the Funky Bunch?

nickev: Was there ever really a Funky Bunch? If a tree falls in an empty forest, does it make a sound? Same thing applies here. No one’s ever seen a member of the Funky Bunch, so did they really ever exist? I’m getting ready to get proved wrong with a picture, aren’t I?

George: Come on! Without the Funky Bunch there would be no Good Vibrations. Then, where would we be?

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – A 25-year-old Port St. Lucie man was arrested for allegedly rubbing a hamburger on his wife’s face during an argument. Police said Daniel Boss and his wife got into it late Thursday night and started calling each other names. At some point, the woman apparently poured soda on Boss’ hamburger, causing him to grab the sandwich, rub it in her face and start throwing food.

Boss left, but his wife went to the police station to report the incident. Officers arrested him three hours later on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.

At least she poured soda on the man’s burger instead of pullin’ a Sea Bass and hawkin’ a gigantic loogie on it.

Next Time I'm Usin' The Burger...

TCU, on the heels of their mauling at BYU, jumped the Broncos — as did the Iowa Hawkeyes and USC Trojans. Boise State fell to seventh in this weeks rankings. Here’s what we’d be looking at if common sense reigned supreme:

Those same Gators are the number one team in the nation in the initial 2009 BCS standings, despite being inexplicably jumped in the AP poll by Alabama. Bama is second in the BCS standings, with Texas and Boise State third and fourth respectively.

Who will take home the trophy this year?  Check back every monday to see what the 16-team, 12-team, or 8-team playoff would look like – - just so you can see what we are all being deprived of. Keep in mind these are IF the season ended today, which is why the horrid Cavaliers of Virginia, as the lone unbeaten in ACC conference play, would get the bid….

MIAMI, FLA: How Is A Hurricane An Ibis? Miami adopted a native marsh bird called the Ibis as the official mascot in 1926, after its school yearbook “The Ibis”. The Ibis is known for its bravery as a hurricane approaches. Folklore maintains that other birds look to the Ibis for leadership. The Ibis uses its instinct to detect danger. It is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits, giving warning that danger is imminent. As the storm passes the Ibis is the first to reappear, a sign that clear skies are approaching. (Wiki source)

Well, Sebastian the Ibis not only represents the Hurricanes, but looks NOTHING like an ibis… He looks like a duck. Try and tell me this ain’t a duck:

OKLAHOMA: How Is A Sooner A Wagon? The official mascot of the Oklahoma Sooners is the Sooner Schooner. Schooners are the covered wagons early settlers traveled in. Why not just be a Sooner?

ALABAMA: How Is A Crimson Tide An Elephant? According to Rolltide.com, The story of how Alabama became associated with the “elephant” goes back to the 1930 season when Coach Wallace Wade had assembled a pretty good football team.

On October 8, 1930, sports writer Everett Strupper of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story of the Alabama-Mississippi game he had witnessed in Tuscaloosa four days earlier. Strupper wrote, “That Alabama team… At the end of the quarter, the earth started to tremble, there was a distant rumble that continued to grow. Some excited fan in the stands bellowed, ‘Hold your horses, the elephants are coming,’ and out stamped this Alabama varsity.”

Strupper and other writers continued to refer to the Alabama linemen as “Red Elephants,” the color referring to the crimson jerseys.

STANFORD: How Is A Cardinal A Tree? Well technically this one doesn’t belong in this article because the tree isn’t really the mascot of Stanford. Stanford doesn’t have an official mascot so it is basically just the color, cardinal, which is like a deep crimson. GET. A. MASCOT!!!

HARVARD: How Is Crimson A Human Named John Harvard? Again with the colors, but this time the official mascot is actually John Harvard. A creepy recreation of the founder of the University, John Harvard:

IOWA STATE: How Is A Cyclone A Cardinal Bird? Don’t really know the answer to this one. Apparently Cy the Cardinal was chosen by students in 1954 to represent the school colors of cardinal and gold. Naming him “Cy” doesn’t really do anything to associate him with the school’s nickname… BE A TORNADO!!!

TULANE: How Is A Green Wave A Pelican? Riptide the Pelican is the Green Wave’s official mascot. Sure there are a lot of pelicans down in Naw’leans, but if you’re the Green Wave, what’s wrong with a big ol’ green wave??

Well apparently in 1963, Athletic Director Dr. Rix Yard felt Tulane needed a more virile symbol for its athletic teams. Working with Eldon Endacott, the manager of the Tulane bookstore, he arranged for a new mascot to be created. Art Evans, art director for Angelus-Pacific Co., in Fullerton, California who had created such noted college mascots as the Purdue “Boilermaker” and Southern California “Trojan” designed a determined looking Green Wave. In 1964 the determined Green Wave design was adopted and became the mainstay logo of the athletic department for over twenty years. During that time various mascots depicting a Green Wave were used, the last nicknamed “Gumby” by the students because of his resemblance to the children’s cartoon character.

But then, on August 19, 1998 a new set of athletic logos were unveiled to better identify and represent the Tulane athletic teams. The marks accentuate the Tulane colors or green and blue, the unique Green Wave nickname and re-established the pelican as a visual symbol. A new pelican mascot was also introduced and given the name Riptide in a vote of the Tulane students.

GEORGE MASON: How Is A Patriot A Gunston? No one even knows what Gunston was, but he damn sure wasn’t a patriot. Peep No. 13 on Drivl.com’s list of worst D-I mascots for a hilarious explanation of this unexplainable beast of a mascot. Apparently someone at George Mason finally woke up, and in 2008 changed the mascot from the Gunston beast to the “Patriot”, which makes much more sense.

Cocoa, FL – A WESH 2 News crew came under attack on Monday while investigating a story about two teenagers who were reportedly working at a strip club in Brevard County.

The Playmates Nightclub in Cocoa remains under investigation for allegedly having a 15-year-old and 17-year-old working there in skimpy attire.

The reporter and photographer were looking for one of the teenagers but encountered a furious grandmother instead.

A videotape recorded during the incident showed the grandmother charging the photographer with a garden hoe. One swing landed squarely on the camera.

Nobody was hurt in the attack. Police reviewed the videotape.

The investigation into the situation at the strip club in continuing.

Granny is pissed. Think about it. Granny probably wasn’t too excited to find out that her lil’ angels were working down at the local strip joint in the first place. Then the local television crew comes stormin’ her door down, like it’s Normandy or something, and shoves a camera in her face.  No kiddin, Granny is gonna go nuts with a hoe on those reporters just like Ralphie did on Scutt Farkas.

NICEVILLE — A woman was pulled over in her 1987 Chevrolet truck after a police officer noticed she didn’t have tag lights.

According to her arrest report, Rahkia Marie Anderson, 18, of Fort Walton Beach, told the officer she knew one of her passengers had marijuana on him because she had smoked with him earlier.

The officer found a cut green straw in Anderson’s purse that is consistent with what a person might use to snort cocaine. Anderson told the officer the straw wouldn’t test positive for cocaine, but it would for Xanax, the report said.

Anderson was placed under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia. Her arrest report noted she had identifying tattoos. Anderson has a butterfly on her left ear, five stars on her left hand and “Keith” on her crotch area.

While Anderson was in the Niceville Police Department holding cell, she was overheard talking to one of the passengers who had been in her truck. Anderson said she “had cocaine” in her “coochy,” the report said. When officers questioned her about her statement, Anderson removed a clear plastic baggy from inside her underwear.

The baggy contained a white powdery substance that field tested positive for the presence of cocaine. Anderson said her intention was to sell the drug.

Anderson was arrested on July 30 for felony possession of narcotics and possession of drug equipment.
