Nearly four months after he vowed to "reinvent the corporation" following a 63-21 debacle in the MicronPC.com Bowl, George Welsh quells any commotion that his promised overhaul will start with his quarterback.
This weekend I had an interesting idea for a new soap opera. It went something like this:
I've played it out in my mind time and time again.
His team trailing 5-2, his pride sullied after a first-period brawl that left him belly up, Marty McSorley decided enough was enough.
And you thought the movie "Magnolia" was impossible to understand - try explaining the NCAA to your friends.
Forget Groundhog Day. I mean, who actually believes that some filthy, narcissistic rodent waking up from his deep slumber and looking for his shadow determines the length of winter? Everyone knows that spring doesn't officially begin until Heidi, Daniela and Estella show up on your doorstep sometime in late February.
Chris Porter's story is a sad one. It is a tale of a star basketball player, a destitute mother, a parasitic agent, a screwed up legislating body known as the NCAA and an athletic underground subculture swarming with more roundball pimps than your average red-light district. It is a story of what's wrong with college basketball.
I've never been particularly fond of elections, not school board elections, not JV cheerleader elections (okay, I take that back), not even presidential elections.
For a man whose facial expression never changed, whose steely, 1,000-yard stare terrified even Mike Ditka, Tom Landry always looked a little peculiar with a brushed suede fedora atop his balding head.
Sports columnists are a jealous bunch - myself included.
Shame on those of you who blindly believed the Y2K bug wreaked little havoc in its voyage through America's digestive track.
Tuesday's heartstopping, balloon-popping barnburner of a basketball game between upstart Virginia and down-and-out North Carolina spoke to why college hoops can be the most entertaining sport around.
Attention ESPN, FOX Sports, The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated and any other media outlet considering the release of a list of the "Century's greatest athletes ... most electrifying performers ... top CBA power forwards" or other such ridiculous countdowns -- don't.
After tallying a career-high 21 points Sunday in the Virginia women's basketball team's 85-64 win over Washington in the third-place game of the Rainbow Wahine Classic, first-year sensation Schuye LaRue was named ACC Rookie of the Week.
As "Hoop Dreams" - the brilliant documentary focusing on the separate but similar sagas of two aspiring high-school ballers - draws to a close, William Gates, whose hardcourt heroics earned him a scholarship to Marquette, leaves the audience to ponder these final words: "If I don't make it, don't forget about me."
The year was 1992. Dan Ellis and David Rivers were teenagers who, just like the rest of America, watched the Summer Olympics on television. And like every other casual viewer, the two future Cavaliers probably came across a series of Reebok commercials marketing a pair of Olympic hopefuls with two of the more pedestrian names you'll ever hear - Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson - as the hottest rivalry since Ali-Frazier. Who would reign supreme: Dan or Dave, Dave or Dan?
It was hyped as the showdown for the Heisman Trophy - Joe Hamilton vs. Thomas Jones - the nation's most efficient passer butting heads with the country's premiere rusher. Somebody forgot to tell David Rivers that in this clash of super heavyweights, he wasn't even supposed to take the stage. Instead, he planted himself squarely in the center of it.
When Chris Carrawell first heard the news that not only would Elton Brand leave Duke early for the NBA draft, but that William Avery and Corey Maggette would join him at the next level, the Blue Devil forward mourned their departure just like everyone else in the program.
For those select few Cavalier basketball fans who combine a love for roundball with a passion for gossip, the 1998-99 recruiting binge was something out of a fairy tale.
As a speedy but raw freshman, all Kelly Campbell wanted was a chance to contribute. Now, as a sage sophomore, he sets his sights on bigger and better things: A 1,000 yard receiving season, a national championship for Georgia Tech and a couple of steak biscuits from Mrs. Winter's Restaurant. Don't forget to throw in some hash browns and a couple of cinnamon swirls on the side.
