The U Just Got Yahoo! Sportsed
Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports details the life of booster Nevin Shapiro and his quest to become the most rampant abuser of NCAA guidelines in college sports history. Barry Switzer is blushing. The Pony Express is in awe. Cecil Newton wished he had shopped around a bit more. The assumption...
Jailhouse Confessions About The U
Nevin Shapiro, described as "an ardent, devoted, intense supporter,'' of the University of Miami, also happened to run a $900 Million ponzi scheme. Shapiro, who is in jail after pleading to money laundering and security fraud charges has spent quality time in prison writing a book ratting out the...
Hall/Skywalker = Frost/Nixon
There is much to respect about EDSBS founder Spencer Hall: his sensible worldview, his rapier wit, the manic energy that burns off of him like heat waves off of asphalt, and his abiding respect for mustaches of all kinds. However, this is his crowning achievement: The Luke Skywalker interview. ...
The U: 30 for 30
So I watched the 30 for 30 documentary The U. It was great on so many levels. I enjoyed it far too much, though I am admittedly an easy mark. Play a 80s rap track track over a tunnel brawl and I'm yours. My awareness and passion for college football coincided with Miami's rise to prominence and...
The NCAA Enforcement Committee Will Need To Get Creative With Miami
I think I speak for a majority of us when I admit that I'm still trying to wrap my head around the enormity of the allegations included within Yahoo Sports latest piece of investigative journalism on the Miami Hurricanes. And while we have a long, long way to go before any punishments are handed...
Texans Training Camp Roundup: They All Got Through In One Piece (except for a few campers who are lepers).
Training camp was closed to the public today, though it was open to media types. So, rather than reading a panoply of impressions and observations from UprootedTexan as well as other BRB readers, we are limited to --- sigh --- whatever the "real" media deign to report upon. (That our resident...
"The U"- Flashbacks to Sportsmanship Hell
I have enjoyed all the installments of the ESPN "30 for 30" series but the latest episode titled "The U" was my favorite thus far. It originally aired on Saturday night and has aired as a repeat several times since. If you like college football and you haven’t watched it yet I highly recommend it....
Two Quite Off-Topic Things To Mention Because This Is My Blog And You Can't Stop Me And It's Either This Or Iowa Basketball
1) This is pretty awesome. Not because we're instinctually opposed to Tim Tebow as a human being or anything, mind you--we're more opposed to the tone of his coverage and other things over which Tebow has little control. So when Tebow sidles up next to a young lady who throws up the U for the...
Comparing Dynasties - USC vs. The U
Lets have some fun...This will be an interesting comparison but hardly scientific. I wanted to look at this a little more carefully but 'tis the season and there is still much to do with work and such. I got a real kick out of Watching ESPN's 30-and-30 documentary on "The U." I thought it was...
