A contestant on Jeopardy last week selected the "Colleges & Universities" category and was hit with a question about Cam Newton for a daily double. Woulda been an easy $1000 if this dude had any idea who Cam Newton is.
At least he answered with another school with a black quarterback that was being paid. Gotta love Trebek just calling him out . "You're obviously not a big football fan". He's obviously a big fan of Encyclopedias and wearing 1970s draperies as ties. A Canadian embarrassing the hell out of a man on national TV about a football question...that'd be like if I asked a 15-year-old Canadian girl when Justin Bieber's birthday was and I made fun of her because she answered with July 1. Not that I know the Biebs' birthday. Or it'd be like if I asked a 15-year-old Canadian girl who sings "Baby" and I made fun of her because she answered Michael Buble. Should I keep going? No, I think that's enough.

BREAKING NEWS: Terrell Pryor Leaves Ohio State, Ends College Career
Terrell Pryor's lawyer, Larry James, just confirmed to the Plain Dealer that Pryror will be leaving Ohio State and ending his college career. James read a statement from Pyror that said:
"In the best interest of my team, I have decided to forego my senior year of football at the Ohio State University."In December the NCAA suspended Pryor and 4 teammates for the first 5 games of the 2011 season for trading championship rings, jerseys and awards to a Columbus tattoo artist for money and tattoos. Exactly a week ago today, head coach Jim Tressel resigned after reports surfaced that players received other improper benefits including cars. Apparently he was driving around a Nissan 350Z on a suspended license and in this video doesn't stop at the red light and just speeds off.
This is the best news of the day. Honestly, Terrell Pryor can go fuck himself. The rules might not be the best but they are still the rules and he knew what they were and he still broke them multiple times. Ohio State keeps proving they are a classless university that has to cheat to get to big bowl games. And who trades championship rings and other memorabilia to a tattoo artist in exchange for tattoos and money? Like, really?!? I can't wait until the Foreskins pick him in the supplemental draft and Skins training camp will be a face-off of the Mormon vs. the guy who traded memorabilia for tattoos vs. Sexy Rexy. Foreskins for the next season of Hard Knocks, anyone?

Ohio State Looking Pretty Good
Coming into the NCAA Tournament there were two recurring themes: 1) the Big East was clearly the best conference in the country and 2) there were no GREAT teams in the field of 68. Well now I’m gonna have to let you know neither one of those are true.
The Big East, who came into the Tournament with a record-breaking 11 teams, now has two left: Marquette (an 11 seed) and Connecticut (3 seed). The conference has lost a 1 seed, a 2 seed, and a 3 seed as well as a normal powerhouse Georgetown and sleeper-favorite St. Johns. In an apparent “down season” for the ACC, the conference comes into the Sweet Sixteen with one more team than the Big East.
The second statement was thrown around for a majority of the season when it seemed nobody wanted to be ranked number one in the nation. Ohio State lost and then Duke would lose and then Kansas would lose and the number one overall seed came down to the conference championships. Ohio State was given it and they are certainly showing they deserve it.
The Buckeyes rolled in a 98-66 victory over the George Mason Patriots and to be honest, it wasn’t even as close as THAT score. The Patriots started on a hot-start, leading early 11-2. The Buckeyes then decided they wanted to start playing and finished the half on a 50-15 run.
We’re trying to make a statement,” guard William Buford said to ESPN. “We wanted to let everybody know we mean business.”
Well William, you did.
The Buckeyes shot 16-26 from three-point range and an impressive 61 percent from the field. The numbers can only slightly do justice to the Buckeye’s dominance. Play after play after play the Buckeyes manhandled the Patriots inside and outside of the paint and proved to the nation just how good they can be.
In a round where Duke struggled to beat Michigan and Pittsburgh lost to Butler, nobody would have been surprised if Ohio State had limped through and squeaked out a victory against Mason. Instead, the Buckeyes erupted for 98 points in a game where Jared Sullinger, arguably their best player, played only 22 minutes.
“Just so many weapons on our team,” Lighty said to ESPN. “And everyone was clicking on high cylinders tonight. When that’s happening, it’s pretty hard to beat us.”
It’s the many weapons the Buckeyes possess make them such a contender for the title. When the Buckeyes need a bucket they have the country’s best big man in Sullinger. Having a low-post threat is a huge advantage in the usual close games of March. Maybe not the game-winning shot, but in game up one with two minutes left, going down low for an easy bucket is the way to close out games.
Down three? Jon Diebler, William Buford, David Lighty and even freshman Aaron Craft are all capable of knocking down big shots. The Buckeyes’ guards are also all fantastic perimeter defenders who can single-handedly lock down an opposing team’s star player.
The Buckeyes simply looked so much better than George Mason. The swagger the team possesses allows them to walk onto the court knowing they can beat anybody in the nation. And they’re big. Sullinger comes in at 6’9, 280 and lines up next to Dallas Lauderdale, rolling up at a subtle 6’8, 225. That’s a heck of a front line that could overwhelm any team.
The Buckeyes come into the Sweet 16 after dominant performances, striking fear into the hearts of their upcoming opponents. If the Kentucky Wildcats can’t attempt to at least slow down the powerhouse Sullinger and big-time shooter Diebler expect another thorough victory.
Even after a game where the Buckeyes won by 32 and almost hit the centurion, Sullinger let out a worrying message to all the other teams left in the country.
“We can play better.”

Alabama Tops Preseason Poll
Can Alabama roll tide roll to another national championship? The coaches poll certainly thinks so. The Crimson Tide was overwhelmingly voted number 1 in the preseason polls, getting 55 out of 59 first place votes. The Most Overrated University (The Ohio State University) received the other 4 votes. OSU comes in 2nd, Florida 3rd, and Texas (who lost to Bama in last year's championship game) is in 4th. Boise State rounds out the top 5. Virginia Tech, TCU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa finish out the top 10.
