Against mid-major powerhouse Utah State Wednesday night, the Denver Pioneers appeared much improved, especially on defense, and looked like a team better than their win-loss record would suggest (with apologies to Bill Parcells). Offensively, DU stayed in the game thanks in large part to 11-of-22 shooting from three-point land — and, in contrast to recent post-halftime struggles, a 16-3 second-half… Read more »

Hmm… A NASA press release announcing “an astrobiology finding” — something that will impact the search for extraterrestrial life — has sent shockwaves through the blogosphere. The press release simply announces an event, set for Thursday at 2 p.m. EST, to discuss an astrobiology discovery “that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.” Astrobiology is the study of… Read more »
Over on The Mid-Majority today, Kyle Whelliston quoted Mark Macon, interim head coach of the Binghamton Bearcats — which Whelliston called “quite simply one of the worst and most inept Division I basketball teams I have ever seen” — as saying after a 55-45 loss to Canisius: “There’s victory in losing.

Irked by the reality TV star and former half-term governor of Alaska’s ridiculous self-comparison to Ronald Reagan, and culture-war dismissal of the Bush family, Scarborough keeps calm, carries on, busts out the scathing sarcasm, and strikes back: What man or mouse with a fully functioning human brain and a résumé as thin as Palin’s would flirt with a presidential run?… Read more »
The second annual Living Room Times College Football Pick ‘em Contest is going to overtime. “Old Gold & Black,” a.k.a. Brad Warbiany, and “The Major’s Girl” are tied for first place with 235 points, and are guaranteed to finish tied for first place with 252 points because of the contest’s rule dropping each contestant’s lowest weekly point total.

But then, Kanye West released his new album, My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy and I had to amend those plans. As the resident hip hop expert round these parts—and yes, that… Read more »

So… that just happened. My first USC loss to ND since I became an “Irish Trojan.” Congrats to my long-suffering Irish-fan friends on finally beating USC. Really. And… sigh. Beat. The Bruins. P.S. Amen to this: Ronald Johnson is as good a man as you will ever want to meet. He dropped a ball on the final USC drive that… Read more »
