Sports Yappin': Who will be next first-time national champion, part 1
Indiana broke through the glass ceiling with a national championship. What other programs can follow in the Hoosiers' footsteps?

Anyway, a future congrats to Lubbock and Tempe.

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

A pedantic thing that irks me is referring to the NBA All-Star break as the "halfway point". I know why we refer to it as such, but it's not true! Teams have played roughly 65% of their games already!
