First off, I want to start by saying anyone who advocates expanding the NCAA Tournament field from 65 teams to 96 teams is a moron. This isn't little league. We don't all get participation ribbons.

It's April Fools Day, and few people enjoy playing a good prank better than myself. Just ask my buddy Detroit Vince.
In high school, all Vince wanted to do was get invited to a "real party." Apparently, our parties of watching B-movies and playing video games did not constitute ...

Record through Week 10: 107-45, 74-73-5 ATS
Fond Memories for McD and Booter Game of the Week
San Diego State (1-8) at (15) Brigham Young (8-1) (-36)

Morning. I managed to sleep in a little today, though the Indiana game starts shortly and I'm very, very nervous. It's gorgeous outside, the leaves are changing, and I'm loving every second of it. We're starting big right off the bat with the IU game, Minny at Illinois, and some ...
