Wednesday Morning Dawg Bites Wishes We Could Turn Back the Clock About 30 Years
If my math is correct, we are two weeks away from national signing day, reminding us yet again that "offseason" is a bit of a misnomer; yeah, there’s no college football being played at the moment, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t news of note here in Bulldog Nation. Here’s what you need to know...
BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...
Big 12 Balkanization: Where Do We Go From Here?
The bell doth toll for the Big 12, a fractured, dysfunctional conference that probably outlived its valid life span three years ago. Assuming that's the case, where does K-State land in the new world order? Based on the following assumptions, I present my analysis after the jump. Assumption 1:...

Clearly, Washington State was not all that enthused by the idea of playing for a relatively meaningless also-ran championship at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, because Wazzu laid down and died in that game. Wichita State out-rebounded the moribund Cougars 55-25 and outscored them 75-44...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/28/2011
I really don't think I need to say anything about the one locally significant game that took place Sunday. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. I think I got all the schadenfreude out of my system yesterday and I'm ready to start focusing on our own teams again. Associated Press...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/26/2011
Rock chalk, around the clock — Friday was all KU, all the time. Forget the win over Richmond, which was at best a minor obstacle. Ohio State, the only other remaining No. 1 seed, stumbled all over its feet in its second consecutive Sweet Sixteen exit at the hands of an SEC team. Guess it's...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/25/2011
Three Sweet Sixteen appearances by three BCS teams that defeated K-State this season produced two stinkers and one survival. All in all, not a great night for the ol' resume/reputation. I don't recall ever seeing a Mike Krzyzewski-coached team capitulate in the face of sudden and unanticipated...

Joining Colorado in New York City next week for the NIT "final four" will be Alabama, Wichita State and Washington State, all unsurprising home winners Wednesday night. Alabama jumped all over Miami, but let the Hurricanes back into it midway through the game before putting them away for good late....
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/23/2011
As Monday night was to Oklahoma State, so Tuesday night was to Colorado, albeit with slightly different results. Alec Burks fought through illness to score 25 points and grab 10 rebounds in a 81-74 home victory over seventh-seeded Kent State in the NIT quarterfinals — and the Buffs needed...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/22/2011
The only game of relevance Monday night occurred in Pullman, Wash., where the second-seeded Washington St. Cougars dispatched the third-seeded Oklahoma St. Cowboys to advance to the NIT quarterfinals. Although the final margin was 10 points, the game really wasn't that close. Wazzu jumped out to a...
