Indiana football proved there's no such thing as an eternally hopeless program, but I think Penn State men's basketball might be one of the closest things we have to it

I've loved watching Illinois basketball this season. their rotation is basically a bunch of really good Eastern Europeans, a star freshman and a guy who looks like he sells shrooms in the parking lot of his old high school

the Seattle Sounders, who play in the Seahawks' stadium, use a tarp that makes for a nice-looking atmosphere. remember Christian Spears, back when he was at the school working under Lyke, citing it as an example for what Pitt could do

reminds me of this lede from a Starkey column from a game (oddly enough, also against Wake) in Stallings' final season. he didn't include it in the story, but Starkey was pretty sure the guy was homeless

a Pittsburgh team losing a long-time successful coach under whom things had plateaued and hiring a less successful replacement whose best years are behind him? can't say I've heard of such a thing

I don't know if Pitt's gonna make a change, but following up a 41-point loss to a Louisville team without its NBA lottery pick with a loss to the worst team in the conference ain't a good sign for Capel
and if they do make a change, this is where I'd start

is it possible that a 15-minute phone interview with an idiot 24-year-old sports writer was what drove Curt Cignetti to become the best coach in college football? more and more people are saying it

Rhode Island players were asked at a pre-NCAA Tournament presser in Pittsburgh in 2018 what Oklahoma fans should know about them. OU had Trae Young that year

there was no way any football coach was ever going to turn down Texas to stay at Louisville, but man, it's hard to look at Charlie Strong's career arc since he made that decision
I would say he'd still be the coach there today, but...well, you can Google it
