Realignment: Are There ANY Adults In The Room?
So let's review what has happened so for this week, shall we? Missouri was headed out the door to the SEC. The Big 12, trying to be proactive, already had a replacement in mind, and in fact, it was reported that West Virginia would be invited to take Missouri's place. The Mountaineers were so sure...
Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...
Sundry: Final 4, The 3-4, Dez, TMG skool, Sheroid Evans
Some thoughts before the weekend. Kevin Berger breaks down Michigan State - Butler and West Virginia - Duke over at March to March. If you want to read about basketball at the national level, this should be your destination site. Bookmark appropriately, sirs and madams. He's too humble to brag,...
West Virginia Game Set For Noon Kickoff
Follow Down The Drive on Facebook/twitter and check out the store. The Cincinnati Bearcat's game against West Virginia, which is being played at Paul Brown Stadium, will kick off at noon and be carried nationally on ABC. I know that the time sucks. It's hard for everyone to work up a proper lather...
Dr. Gross or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the ACC
I'll preface this piece by saying that I'm a lifelong Big East fan. I grew up rooting for Notre Dame and UConn (due to family ties and state pride respectively), and the Big East had a huge impact on my college decision process; I had a top four of Notre Dame, Syracuse, Villanova and UConn, and...

A Tradition Like No Other
Okay, so maybe it's not that big of a deal. But after some early focus this week on, *gasp*, basketball, time to turn my attention span to the Backyard Brawl tomorrow. I'm not sure of the reason, but this year, I haven't gotten into all the hype that surrounds the game. But make no mistake, this is...
Panic Alert
As Jim Rome would always say during his popular annual 'Smackdowns' in describing callers who had not yet gotten through nearing the end of a show, "Panic Alert, clones."That's kind of how I'm feeling after the WVU loss. Not so much because Pitt can't accomplish their goal - they can. All it will...
Looking Ahead
Pitt will look to not only get it's season back on track after the WVU loss, but officially make it a success with a win this weekend.No one needs to be told how big the game is:The Pitt Panthers will play their most important home game since 2003 Saturday when they entertain No. 5 Cincinnati...
Another Game, Another Loss
I won't be covering Pitt's loss to WVU in-depth as frankly, I don't have the energy. WVU fans were classy as always, forcing their coach to tell them to stop throwing things onto the court. Way to go there, morons - how did 2007 taste? Anyway, back to civilization where people eat with utensils and...
