The Crib Sheet: March Madness Juggernaut

Juggernaut March Madness

Another week is rolling by and the Crib Sheet is on full tilt.  We are doing our best to ignore the upcoming Juggernaut that is March Madness, until we get enough staff around the KCCGD to cover college basketball.  In the meantime, there’s still some football news to cover.  Spring practice is opening up and the recruiting carousal is about over.  We’re still waiting on Bryce Brown to sign, but at this point the stock is almost completely gone.  With that, here was the week in college football:

  • Turning to beating a dead horse, no, completely gibbing it to tiny lil pieces, the Mountain West Conference has proposed an 8 team college football playoff.  With politicians rattling cages for votes and conferences sending in suggestions, this is gonna end ugly.  Good luck BCS
  • On a sobering note, Oklahoma redshirt freshmen Corey Wilson is paralyzed from the waist down from the accident he had last week.  The worst part is he was a redshirt and didn’t get a chance to play.  Let’s hope he recovers the best that he can.
  • The University of Texas President William Powers is scared silly about losing college football.  Huh?  Yeah apparently automatic enrollment for smart kids will fill up the school so much the dumb jocks won’t have room.  Don’t worry, Boosters will take care of those kids under the table like we all know.
  • Flo’ Rida State lives up to tradition and gets probation for their players cheating on online tests.  There will be some vacated victories and lost scholarships on this doozy.  One on hand, you athletes cheating.  On the other you have them taking ONLINE tests.  It’s incredibly easy to cheat if you have facebook up with your playas and it’s multiple choice.
  • Jerry Jones’ new stadium in Texas will play host to 3 Big 12 games when it opens.  It really has nothing to do with the news.  I just wanted to mention that I’m drooling over this stadium and pray one day I can go down there to watch a game.  Maybe even the K-State win the Big 12 there.
  • Tim Griffin tells us that the Houston Chronicle’s study on TV viewership for the Big 12 cities show that sports is king.  As a matter of fact, Kansas City ranks second of the cities.  No surprise here at the KCCGD seeing as the local schools are doing well and we’re so well mixed in KC.  Somebody should start a blog on it…..
