Gregg Doyel is such a dumb sounding name anyway.

Sounds like UCLA has no depth at Defensive End.

Kentucky set to hire Pope feels a lot like Kentucky hiring Billy Gillispie from Texas A&M back in 2007. Except with less excitement and less potential upside. Lexington will chew Pope up and spit him out. A placeholder, like Gillispie, until the "right" guy becomes available. Then, like Gillispie, p...

Over the weekend, my musician friends demoed SONU.AI to me, the ChatGPT equivalent of music generating.

Sky Harbor slammed last Sunday. Final Four, Biker Week, but also the eclipse. Much of the take-offs out of PHX depend on earlier flights from the East arriving on time.

Well that would be a shocker... Yes, a shocker. My first rationalization is that Calipari wants to coach where the fanbase hasn't seen through him yet. Kentucky fans have long seen through Calipari and at this point are vocal about it. Calipari knows this and misses being worshipped for what he isn...

It isn’t too big of a deal that Dayton marched back against our sizable lead. That can be expected of good rosters like Dayton.
