I remember when I gave up my first homerun. I was 14 years old at the time, and my dad was coaching the team. The kid that hit the bomb was the white version of Greg Oden, and no one will convince me he was also 14. I could have sworn I saw him drive off after the game. Anyway, it seemed like he took ...
After adjusting your headband, you tuck your jersey into your shorts just before tip-off. You're ready for action. Black Nike shoes ... check. Black socks with NBA logo ... check. Allen Iverson arm sleeve ... check. Mouthpiece ... check. As the referee throws the ball up in the air, you take your seat ...
The hot topic surrounding the end of the Memphis Tigers home schedule was the fact that the No. 6/7 team in the nation couldn't sell out a single home game this season. Even head coach John Calipari and some of his players commented on their disappointment with the fan turnout after the Rice game last ...
Here's an idea. Let's tear down the McWherter Library and build a brand spanking new stadium in its place. This is a University. We don't care about books and trivial things of that nature. The Princeton Review thinks The U of M is no good academically, anyway. They ranked East Tennessee State and Tennessee ...

What comes to mind when you think of Peyton Manning? I usually think of touchdown passes, Wheaties, warm milk and an early bedtime. How about Kenny Rogers? In my mind, he's a gritty veteran, and the best pitcher in the MLB playoffs right now. If you asked me about Rogers last season, I would have said, ...
It's time to wake up and face the facts concerning the Tiger defense: it's not good by any means, and it will take time to return to a competitive level again. Following this weekend's 35-14 loss to Tulsa at the Liberty Bowl in which the defense gave up 356 total yards and allowed Paul Smith to complete ...
Baseball is in big trouble. Barry Bonds is trying to avoid trouble. And the trouble Jason Grimsley has caused is heating up the steroid debate once again. Barry wants to cooperate ... on conditions. Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, called upon by Bud Selig in March to investigate steroid ...
Rumors swirled the last couple of days in regards to the future whereabouts of basketball coach John Calipari. Some said he was on a plane en route for Raleigh, N.C. to tour the basketball facilities at North Carolina State. Others said he was enjoying a half-chicken at Central BBQ just down the road ...
