-->Interim KSU Head Coach Bruce Weber is in a real jam. KSU is nearing the time where it needs to hire a permanent coach and Bill Self has not moved any where lately that Bruce could follow him to.
-->Interim KSU Head Coach Bruce Weber continued: now Bruce has to make do without his leading scorer and a player not to be named here later, because, well, because the players violated some team rules. No word on whether the devil made them do it.
-->ACC: the conference from hell--Anyone notice that Danny Manning is taking quite a pasting this first season at Wake Forest in that devilishly difficult, 15-team ACC? His Evil Elders, er, Demon Deacons are 11-12 overall and 3-7 in the conference from hell, which leaves him in 12th place. The good news is his team has won the last two against penultimate cellar dweller in ACC Hades, Virginia Tech, and 8th place NC State Hell Hounds, er, Wolf Pack. Watch out Danny! The ACC appears to be the devil's play ground. Say your prayers and stick to the straight and narrow.
-->ACC: the conference from hell continued:--NC State appeared on the rise for awhile, but no longer in the conference from hell. Perhaps NC State would like to join WVU in an eastern division of the B12? Maybe the devil made me say it?
-->ACC: the conference from hell continued--its getting hot down there. Syrexcuse bans itself? What's next? UNC banning itself?
-->ACC: the conference from hell continued--Syrexcuse Self Banning Ritual. I read the ESPN story and I still can't quite figure out what all they are banning themselves for, except that Fab Melo seems a part of it. Further, Jim Boeheim appears ambiguously caught up the paradoxical realm of Syrexcuse banning its team from post season play, without banning them from regular season play, and without appearing to ban Jim Boeheim for anything. Will Jim Boeheim join the new wing of the "I didn't know" hall of fame for coaches? This new wing is for those that didn't know anything about what they were self banned for!
-->ACC: the conference from hell continued--Coach K, ironically the coach of a team called the Blue DEVILS, who reputedly did not know about the jewelry tastes of one of his players a few years back, appeared quick to defend the virtue of Coach Boeheim and new conference from hell member, Syrexcuse. Interesting that Roy Williams has apparently not spoken out similarly.
-->ACC: the conference from hell continued--Break out the shamrocks. Notre Dame, which could have joined the comparatively saintly Big 12, but instead opted for joining a conference of souls apparently in need of saving, finds itself flourishing in its association with the damned. Glory, glory be, the lads with the luck of the Irish find themselves fly fishing in the conference equivalent of the River Styxx, and are in second place. Perhaps they will resort to an exorcism to move above Virginia in first place. First place in the ACC is also known as the outer most ring of the inferno. All is fair in the nether regions, when fighting the devil himself. Imagine Notre Dame ahead of Louisville, Duke, North Carolina, and Syracuse. Its a miracle, Father, though the fires be a wee bit hot right now.
-->Things are so devilishly bad in college basketball that the broadcasters that report the players getting suspended are getting suspended. Yo, Greg Anthony, have your agent talk to Hugh Grant's agent and get some public relations tips ASAP, before someone nicknames you the solicitor general and it sticks.
-->Replacing Greg Anthony with Bill Raftery is like swearing off hookers and ordering a Bushmills.
