Left Coast Report: Why OJ Mayo is Like Hillary Clinton & Kevin Love is Like Barack Obama
The last couple weeks of the democratic primary race made me realize that OJ Mayo is Hillary Clinton and Kevin Love is Barrack Obama. I do not mean this in terms of basketball skill, style, or personality, but instead in terms of how the media has treated the two Pac-10 freshmen.

2008 BracketBusters Analysis & Predictions
Even if there is only one game that
will likely feature two teams that are worthy of at-large bids, there are still
plenty of interesting match-ups and plenty of teams that we will see in March in
this edition of BracketBusters. The number one goal is exposure for the teams
and that exposure is good for the fans as well who can start scouting some

I was hoping the FIBA Americas tournament would get me back into basketball mode. But then I forgot how good Team USA can be when Kobe and J-Kidd play, while squads like Argentina don't bring their top dogs.
Instead, speaking of dogs, the only bug I have is an urge to throw up every time I hear the name Michael Vick.
Final Four GameLog: Vitriol, Chest Pounding, and Ferris Bueller
The best thing about the NCAA Tournament is no matter what happens, the Final Four always has an air of excitement. There are always BCS Championships, World Series and NBA Finals that no one seems to care about (i.e. last season’s World Series, the 2002 and 2003 NBA Finals, every college football game ever played besides 2005’s USC-Texas).
