Illini Win??!!?? Yes, You Read That Right!

October 31, 2009 By paulmbanks

ron zook

By Paul Schmidt There's no one anywhere who predicted an Illinois win Saturday against Michigan.  I'm about the biggest Illinois apologist that there is, and even I was urging you to bet against the Illini, and to lay 7 points while doing it! After a short amount of time, however, the glow of a great victory has waned and left two very poignant questions to be … [Read more...] about Illini Win??!!?? Yes, You Read That Right!

NBA Power Rankings: #8 Atlanta Hawks

October 31, 2009 By paulmbanks

By: David Kay 2008-09 Season Summary: Hawks management doesn't get near the credit it deserves for re-building Atlanta into a respectable NBA franchise. They pretty much stole Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby in trades, and while a couple of their draft picks have back-fired (i.e. Shelden Williams and Acie Law), selections like Al Horford, Josh Smith, and Marvin Williams have … [Read more...] about NBA Power Rankings: #8 Atlanta Hawks

By: David Kay 2008-09 Season Summary: The Nuggets have to be happy with their 2008-09 season. They started the year with a volatile roster that was more likely to become the first team to ever fight each other on the court than come together and succeed. The obvious turning point of the season came less than a week in when the Nuggets traded Allen Iverson for Chauncey … [Read more...] about NBA Power Rankings: #9 Denver Nuggets

Packers vs. Vikings II: Judgment Day exchange

October 30, 2009 By paulmbanks

By Jake McCormick and Andy Weise As of roughly 3:13 p.m., Sunday, October 25, the Brett Favre Ball dropped in Minnesota and Wisconsin, prompting the inevitable, yet excruciatingly redundant conversation about Favre's return to his former 16-year winter home in Green Bay. His first game against the Packers went as well as he could've hoped, but returning to the scene of the … [Read more...] about Packers vs. Vikings II: Judgment Day exchange

By: David Kay and Paul M. Banks 2008-09 Season Summary: In financial terms a "correction" is defined as a sharp, relatively short decline that temporarily interrupts a persistent upward trend in the market. The Utah Jazz experienced a "correction" in 2009. After back-to-back Northwest Division titles, the Jazz had a much tougher season with siginifcant contributors like … [Read more...] about NBA Power Rankings: #10 Utah Jazz

2009-2010 Big 12 Hoops Preview: Part 3 of 5

October 29, 2009 By paulmbanks

By: David Kay Part three of The Sports Bank’s Big 12 preview features three teams that tied for fourth place in the conference last season and who should all be dancing come March.  Teams 4-6 are still a level below the top three in the conference, but could possibly catch a Blake Griffin-less Oklahoma team for the third spot. Kansas State returns their talented backcourt … [Read more...] about 2009-2010 Big 12 Hoops Preview: Part 3 of 5
