All you can eat Friday!

  • Greg Oden and Mike Conley will be appearing today on the Hot List on ESPN News. The Hot List airs weekdays from 12pm-3pm PT/3pm-6pm ET... Speaking of news, here's a shocker! Ricky Williams tests positive for herbjuana. I could have never seen this coming! It caught me totally off guard!
  • TV Reminder!. On Sunday May 13, CBS will air the one hour documentary College Basketball's Greatest Shooters at 11am PT. This was pre-empted by a live tennis game in March... Same day at 3pm PT, ABC will air the EA Sports All American Show featuring basketball among the other sports... These are obviously not a live events, so I do not know what times they will air in other timezones. Check local listings!... But wait there's more! The BYU TV channel will air a classic college basketball from 1998 this Saturday, featuring BYU and New Mexico... Also ESPNU will be airing some of the men's basketball conference championship finals in the next few days. I am boycotting ESPNU tv listings until ESPN and Comcast reach a compromise agreement and carry ESPNU on their networks. ESPN wants ESPNU available to all digital cable subscribers, while Comcast wants to put it in the Sports Tier which costs $5/month more, and includes other sports channels such as NBATV, NFL, CSTV, etc.
  • Thanks to the CAA Hoops blog for the link and for catching the "Doyel 2.0" comment I made earlier!
  • Jealous of ESPN doing a big story on the Top 10 programs of the Last 10 years, Gary Parrish at CBS will be doing the Top 10 programs of the next five years! He will reveal his top four each Friday, starting with today. And at #4 is ... *drumroll* Roy Carolina and North Williams!
  • After flirting with NBA teams, TV coach Reggie Theus gets a new lucrative contract at New Mexico State, making him the highest paid coach in the league, with a salary close to half a million per year.
  • March Madness All Season has an extensive roundup of some of the latest news and notes!
  • Big Brother has a problem with email surveys when it comes to Title 9 compliance. SurveyMonkey.com will be disappointed!
  • Today's edition of Goodman's blog talks about Bob Huggins's assistants, and the progress of Luke Bonner at UMass.
  • Pat Forde at ESPN looks at the future of Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators. I won't spoil his conclusion, but here's a hint: "The future's so bright, I gotta wear ____". He also compares the other top programs/coaches. Among the names mentioned: Ben Howling Defense, Billy Clyde Gillispie, Coach Dirty Rat (aka Dracula-K), Bill Self, Rick Barnes, Thad Matta, Lute Olson, Jim Calhoun, Tom Izzo State, PitinoVille and the Calipari Experiment... A must read!

    Shopping Segment. Today only, at Amazon, you can get your favorite MLB teams t-shirts (100% cotton) for just $10! The special price is only good for today (Friday) as it is the Amazon Deal of the Day.
