Sixth Year Seniors

Week Zero starts in Ireland and ends on The Island. Previewing the Big 10, ACC (except for Some Team), the Big 12, Mountain West and Conference USA. Can Ohio State repeat? Dabo now taking transfers.

Recording a podcast just after a dentist appointment may or may not be a good thing...much like watching Michigan State basketball. Conference tournaments are the final step for Cinderellas Edwardsville and Omaha. Will there be more by next Monday?

The Ivy and West Coast crowned conference champions, and mid-major squads are trying to finish Cinderella seasons. In the majors, fourth place is just as valuable as a title. And on a side note, anyone seen a stolen Lamborghini?
