Sixth Year Seniors

The show goes off the rails early, thanks to Kyle Filipowski's inability to get pout of the way of a Wake Forest court storm. Somehow it goes from there to a tribute to Ole Anderson, Empty Arena wrestling matches and a classic live reaction from Mikey during the North Carolina/Miami game.

Detroit wins and gives us a classic court storm. Purdue loses and continues to show its flaws. Speaking of flaws, we present the SEC. Connecticut continues to win, as does--surprise--South Florida. And we pour a few out for Lefty Driesell and project 16 with a month to go before Selection Sunday.

East Coast Bias is exposed on the same weekend as the Great Super Bowl Fix. The SEC will not have 10 teams make the tournament, Gonzaga is not in fear of missing March, Kansas can't win on the road, and Coach K still cannot drive in the snow.

Even the best can't win at Kansas, and the best isn't Purdue. Kentucky has serious issues, and Gonzaga is no longer the top dog in the West Coast. Plus, a tribute to the actor who's bravado created one of the greatest movie characters of all time.

Winning on the road is tougher than ever, as Arizona, Auburn, Colorado State and numerous other ranked teams have learned this year. Without football, Saturday has wall-to-wall super games. And Friday's Big 10 marketing gimmick has a name.

Kansas and Duke both fall on a glorious day of college basketball. Blake Hinson dances on tables, middle fingers are as common as double-digit comebacks, and fans mock the weather to see their favorite teams. Plus, where else will you get information on IUPUI, Detroit and Mississippi Valley State?

 Three final unbeatens take losses after the New Year, and the top three in the nation combine this week for four losses. Who's going up (Nebraska, North Carolina and Stanford) and who's going down (Florida Atlantic, Gonzaga and Colorado State), among a massive college basketball recap. 

Michigan prevails in the national title game despite home-grown Harbaugh controversies. Nick Saban retires after ruining college football. and the game will never be the same.

Real work got in the way. We'll be back early next week with thoughts on Michigan's title, Nick Saban's retirement and a ton of college basketball.

Millions of viewers saw a pair of fourth-down stops advance Michigan and Washington.  Can Michael Penix work his magic against the Wolverines?  An underwhelming bowl undercard was supported by edible marketing campaigns, but a future expanded playoff may be the end of the bowl season. Plus, whip around the basketball court to catch up on holiday happenings.
