The Futon Report
| Comments
Friend of the site and, more to the point, Akron Beacon-Journal columnist Brian Windhorst hasn't been doing his usual cerebral coverage of the Cavaliers and this week's NBA Draft because he's been sick in the hospital. Once he gets out, he'll no doubt return to his...
LeBron To Mom: “MOMMMMMMMM!”

The Futon Report
| Comments
Honestly, I'm not at all sure how I missed this one as it happened. I vividly recall the foul. The not-letting-go after the whistle. The centrifugal force into the bleachers. The fans yelling back. And for some reason

The Futon Report

It's easy to notice significant roster changes in the the Tigers lineup amidst a 10-2 walloping of the Texas Rangers. Verlander's pitching again! Renteria's on fire! And … Carlos Guillen and Miguel Cabrera are permanently switching positions!
Leyland had little to...

UT Coach Search Going As Planned
April 20, 2008 by
The Futon Report
| Comments
…well, maybe not how UT had it planned. But the carousel of candidates has been spinning non-stop. The coaches UT wants, they can't have. The coaches UT can get, they don't want.
Maureen Fulton's been doing a ton of coverage on this story, and as it stands, it looks to...
Tim Byrdak Screws Headline Writers

Well now, let’s see what’s in the news today:
Good for him! I always knew Jimmy Leyland knew a solid pitcher when he saw him, even if Tim Byrdak has an ERA of 13.50 in spring training. I’m sure he’ll do just…

Dear Tech Support,
The last six times I’ve logged onto your website to check baseball box scores, it erroneously indicates that the Detroit Tigers have lost a baseball game. This is an impossibility, given that they have the second highest payroll in baseball, including players...
You Mean It’s Not Dan Dakich?
April 14, 2008 by
The Futon Report
| Comments
Drag. Oh well, this guy seems more qualified anyway.
It looks like Toledo is going with Notre Dame assistant Gene Cross as their new head coach, replacing Stan Joplin. What this means is that rather than take a fired head coach, they're admitting to UT basketball being a rebuilding...
Craftiness, Leftiness Are Synonymous

Ya know, Associated Press throwaway ledes are too much fun sometimes:
DETROIT (AP) — If Brian Bannister were a lefty, people would call him crafty. Instead, he’ll have to settle for effective.
If Brian Bannister were old, people would call him a veteran. Instead, he’...
Dan Dakich Era: 2008-2008
April 03, 2008 by
The Futon Report
| Comments
It was a brief, yet memorable 40 days of Indiana University basketball. Ever see an ivory tower simply implode on its own weight? That was Hoosier hoops under Dan Dakich. (Okay, most of the blame can sensibly be put on Kelvin Sampson, since without his textualnanigans, Dakich is never...
Coach Henderson Is Insistent On The Number Of Shots Kent Will Take

The Futon Report

Kent State 49, Miami 47 â—¼ Miami interim coach Jermaine Henderson has done an admirable job of filling in for Charlie Coles under adverse conditions. And it’s too bad to see the Miami season end in a closely fought, albeit alarmingly low-scoring game against Kent State....

Okay, not really. I’m 2nd in my group of 31 picks, 93rd percentile overall.
And the guy ahead of me, well, works for Yahoo! Sports, so you can reasonably assume he’s cheating.

As the regular season comes to a close, we look at the finales of this year’s Mid-American Conference basketball season.
Kent State 61, Akron 58 â—¼ This was quite possibly the most noxiously oxidized finish to a MAC game this year. Three 3-point field goals were drilled...

So here’s the thing about groin injuries, girls. (Guys: just keep reading.) Mere mentions of them usually cause an involuntary bend toward the fetal position in a preemptive gambit to protect our precious bits. Any description of said groin injury usually elicits actual painful...
More On Stan Joplin’s Exit

It has only been a few days since the bombshell news of Stan Joplin being fired, but the only reason I can come with as to why he was canned is money-related, not basketball-related.
Boosters might not have wanted to donate money to a basketball team led by Stan Joplin. Money talks...
