Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly Motivational Speech Leaves Hoops Team Uncomfor
2011-03-17 05:22:00 That's why Friday's game is so important to win...because if you don't, you might have to start hiring lawyers to defend yourself...and you might also have to align your story with each of the 12 players on the team...because if your stories don't align, you might cost your coach his job...and millions of dollars...and who would want that? You love your coach don't you? Don't you?!"
Scott Martin a key Part of Notre Dame Hoops Success
2011-02-13 22:35:00 In the offseason, the talk around the college basketball program in South Bend was all about personnel losses -most notably Tory Jackson and Luke Harangody- not new additions. But today Notre Dame's 21-4 record signifies the best 25-game start under head coach Mike Brey. It's the first time the Irish have won at least 21 of their first 25 games since the 1980-81 campaign. Notre Dame's 10-3 Big East record matches the best 13-game start in Big East play in program history. The Irish have secured their second straight 10-win Big East campaign and it's the seventh time (in 11 seasons) under Brey that Notre Dame has notched at least 10 league victories. A big reason is Scott Martin,...

Ohio State to assume #1 Position in College Hoops Polls
2011-01-17 02:07:00 The great American poet Cornell Haynes once posed this existential query: "What does it take to be #1, two is not a winner, and three nobody remembers." In slightly more recent history, another local wordsmith named Kanye West stated "number one can't put nothing above that. You deserve a verse from me, we're going to party like it's our anniversary." Today, the Ohio State Buckeyes, among favorites to win the Big Ten, now looking like serious contenders for a national title, are living these lyrics. With the Florida State upset over Duke, the polls will later today deem the Buckeyes the new rulers of college basketball....

When you're driving along at over 60+ mph and then within minutes your total visibility gets reduced to nothing. It's enough to make you feel it's time to get your affairs in order. Yes, Mother nature can be a fickle bitch as it'll be nice, sunny and clear (but of course cold) on the western shore of Lake Michigan where our fair city resides, but a hellish landscape (remember in Dante's Inferno, the last concentric circle of hell is not fire, but Lucifer trapped in ice) in southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana. This particular blizzard, is even keeping the...
Notre Dame Beats #8 UConn; Chicago's Best College Hoops Team?
2011-01-05 03:51:00 Although Notre Dame is about a two hour drive from Chicago, and within a different state and time zone as the second city- they still might be Chicago's best college basketball team. In college football, the Irish have captured the hearts of Chicago. And if winning like this in hoops continues (a 73-70 win over #8 Connecticut Tuesday night) they might just become the favorite in college hoops too. The Irish came out of the gates shooting lights out from distance (going 7-14 from behind the arc in the first half), and never trailed the entire game. On the other end, they limited the nation's leading scorer Kemba Walker to 19 (8 below his average) on 8-23 shooting. Thus...
Can Notre Dame win their Holiday Hoops Tournament?
2010-11-23 23:15:00 In all honesty, the 2010 Old Spice Classic could be the lowest scoring tournament in the history of Feast Week. With teams like Wisconsin, Temple, and Notre Dame that emphasize defense and are very patient on the offensive end, there is not a lot of offensive firepower in Orlando although teams like Texas A&M, Cal, and Georgia could cause some noise because of their athleticism. Here is a preview and predictions: By: David Kay...

Hoops and Snoop at Northwestern
2010-10-12 02:07:00 When I did my preview of Midnight Madness events happening on Friday night I completely forgot to mention Hoops and Snoop at Northwestern. That's a shame because the Wildcats will probably have the best basketball team in Chicago this season and also because their sports information staff actually released the news an extra Friday before everyone (which is why I forgot to mention it). Still, this is Northwestern's inaugural foray into doing something basketball related during the first Friday of practice. Now, what's Snoop (as in Snoop Dogg) got to do with it? Turns out he's holding a concert at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Friday night. The reason it's "and" and not "with" is because while Snoop is performing at Welsh-Ryan, the basketball...

Talking Off-Season With Drew of Peachtree Hoops

This is from the Basketball Fiend (also see their blog): Who is a bigger free agent priority? Marvin Williams? Or Mike Bibby (written before he re-signed)?Now that Mike Bibby is signed, I am going with Marvin. Sorry I am a slacker so that this question can be answered..2. Do you think Mike Woodson can be the coach of a title winning Hawks team? I myself haven't loved him as coach and question if he's the right coach to lead them to bigger and better places.Who is asking this question and where can I find their optimism? Just to answer it as a hypothetical makes me feel better about the Hawks. Most people would mock me for even bringing up the idea that the Hawks are only a piece away from contending let alone winning.But in my wildest dreams where I suspend all kinds of reality (like the fact that the Cavs and Lakers exist) not even Mike Woodson can make it int...

Credit Cards - Jumping Through the Hoops Posted By : Mike Strom
2008-05-11 09:34:00 First of all, you should acknowledge that when in search of an ideal credit card, it ought to be one that comes without additional charges or costs, requires ninety to a hundred percent of bank balance as its credit limit and needs a minimum sum of cash as the least bank balance. Personal finance is the application of the principles of finance to the monetary decisions of an individual or family unit. It addresses the ways in which individuals or families obtain, budget, save and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial risks and future life events. Components of personal finance might include checking and savings accounts, credit cards and consumer loans, investments in the stock market, retirement plans, social security benefits, insurance policies, and income tax management.
