Bad News, Bears
UCLA Basketball Scandal Brewing? Sports Illustrated Expose Coming - SB Nation Los Angeles (Read More)
Word on the web is that a Sports Illustrated “expose” coming tomorrow later today could be bad news for UCLA’s basketball program.
Details from the feature by George Dohrmann (follow him on Twitter @GeorgeDohrmann for the latest) are just starting to come out, but according to...
Slump
This is a really uninspiring time of year for me when it comes to sports.
Remember how everyone was all “ZOMG WHAT WILL WE DO AFTER THE SUPER BOWL WHEN THERE’S NO FOOTBALL???” I still haven’t really figured that out.
I’m not that interested in the NFL Combine, or golf, or the Daytona 500 (except for the part where Kate Upton showed up).
Normally, I’d be all...

The State of the Shoremen - Lacrosse Magazine →
More WAC love! This time from Lacrosse Magazine.
Back in the day, when I was a high-schooler looking at colleges, Washington College was known for lacrosse and creative writing (the writing is what sold me).
The lacrosse program, like most other things at Washington College, has a great tradition (Heyyyyyy 1998 D-III National Champs!) but hasn’t been at the top of the game lately, so...

But when Michael Rosenberg opens a column like that, there’s no way I’m missing it....
Something That Needs to Be Said
Thank you.
To the person who sent me the anonymous and very much appreciated Valentine’s Day message that made me smile when, to be honest, I wasn’t having a very smiley day.
It was a surprise (but very welcome) pick-me-up, and I appreciated it probably more than you could’ve guessed. I just wanted you - whoever you are - to know that. Better late than never?
And to everyone...

What's the Big Deal About Stefon Diggs?
Stefon Diggs, a five-star recruit from Maryland powerhouse Good Counsel, was one of the last highly-coveted high school players to announce his college decision, and Maryland football fans had their fingers crossed as tight as they could, hoping he’d pick the less-traveled route and choose the Terps over Auburn, Florida, and Ohio State.
Last night, I got a text alert from Baltimore Sun...

USC Football: Strapped by Scholarship Limits,... →
My roundup on USC’s Signing Day for isportsweb.
Love that we can sign ten fewer players than everyone else (15 instead of 25), and we only sign 12, and we STILL pull a top-10 recruiting class. Seriously. Love.
