Ten Season-Defining Games In ‘08 College Football

A year ago this time, no one would have predicted a Thanksgiving weekend game between Missouri and Kansas would wind up one of the most highly viewed of the season. Or that USC’s game against Stanford would carry greater implications than its subsequent trip to Cal.

But who are we kidding? We’re college football fans. We’re still going to circle certain games on the calendar months before their arrival with the anticipation that these showdowns will carry monumental stakes by the time they’re played.

86% Of College Baseball Players Are White

86% Of College Baseball Players Are White

It’s hard to watch the college-baseball World Series, under way now in Omaha, Neb., without noticing how different the college game is from the major-league version. Not in the caliber of play or the funny ping of the aluminum bats, but in the way the players look.

College players in the three main divisions are 86% white, according to the most-recent NCAA figures. That’s a big difference from Major League Baseball, where one study puts the number at less than 60%. The most striking difference is in the number of Latinos on the field: They made up about 29% of all major leaguers in 2007 but only 5% of players in college. [WJS]

Arizona Wildcat’s Basketball Hopes Ride On An SAT Score

Arizona fans have Thursday marked on their calendars.

That’s the day Brandon Jennings is scheduled to receive his final SAT score, and if the score is sufficient the McDonald’s All-American will be eligible to compete as a freshman for the Wildcats (pending clearance from the NCAA, of course) this season. It’s supposed to be a big development, one way or another. So I called Jennings’ advisor, Kelly Williams, on Sunday to see how things were going, how he was feeling and whether anything had changed.

What I learned is Thursday probably won’t end Jennings’ anxiety. [Sportsline]

Peyote Suicide
Age 19
Location Arizona

Cool:
whiskey, tracy, art, travel, baking,
harsh honesty.

Not Cool:
Stupid broads, the word ‘uber’, debt,
being stuck in one place for too long,
video games, materialism, mental
breakdowns.

Makes her happy:
When things go according to plan,
people watching, road trips, east
coast cities, good greek salads,
the occasional stogie on the back
porch under the big desert night
sky, nostalgic songs.

Makes her sad:
When people do not follow out their
dreams, no matter how big or
‘unrealistic’, 90% of Californians

Fave Bands:
Tom Waits, Smashing Pumpkins
Shins, MeWithoutYou, Sigur Ros

Fave Films:
The Dreamers, Igby Goes Down
The Virgin Suicides, Tarantino Films
