From the WNBA, here’s a report on how this year’s crop of rookies are faring. From Candace Parker we, of course, expected great. It’s awesome, however, to see the impact of the Charde Houston’s and Candice Wiggins’ and Nicky Anoskie’s of the group. (The Minnesota Lynx seem to have fared especially well on the rookie [...]

My first read this morning included some tough talk from John Conyers regarding Karl Rove and the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of Mr. Turdblossom himself. You go John! Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also investigating a widening number of alleged “selective prosecutions” which may have been (OMG) politically motivated. I’m glad this [...]

What to say? It’s Memphis-Kansas in the Men’s Final tonight … and will be Tennessee-Stanford for the Women on Tuesday night (and we’ll get to see Candace Parker and Candice Wiggins go at it one more time)!
In JordanCornblog land the brackets have shifted just a tad on the women’s side (where that UConn loss knocked [...]

That’s the most clever sign I’ve seen at the Women’s Final Four so far … with 35.1 seconds left, looks like Dewd has seen all of UConn she’s going to at this Tournament … but UConn ain’t going easily. As the clock winds down, the announcers note that Diana Taurasi lost in her freshman year. [...]

The Dallas Morning News gives the edge to LSU and UConn in tonight’s games. The Seattle Times likes the star power, with four All-Americans hitting the court in Tampa for these games.
In a bit of a surprise for some … Candice Wiggins steps on the court with yet another honor … this year’s Wade [...]

The wild winds of April (at least that’s how it was last night in these parts) nearly blew in a couple more #2 seeds … but in the end the #1’s prevailed on a nerve-wracking night of hard-nosed basketball.
What a gutsy performance by Candace Parker (as well as Jenny Moshak and the Lady Vol’s athletic [...]

Well, well, well!  The #2 seeds pulled it out last night, with LSU’s gritty defense and Sylvia Fowles’ inside play sending UNC home.  Then, in an all-offense-all-the-time type game, the Stanford Cardinals sent Maryland packing.  That game featured an awesome performance by Kristi Toliver … and an even better one by Candice Wiggins, who posted [...]

As I settle down to write, I am just now interrupted by the sight of three deer running FAST down our hill, along the edge or the field.  I wondered why they were moving like that … and my question was quickly answered when a very, very big coydog went racing down the hill after them.  The [...]

Well, well, well. Sorting things out this morning I see that #6 Pittsburgh eliminated #3 Baylor to move into the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history! Meanwhile (too bad, Karyn), gritty Florida State took Oklahoma State to overtime before succumbing 73-72 (on a free throw with 0.7 seconds left in the game [...]
