Kansas Jayhawks site celebrating boobs in danger (pics)

June 15, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

The Kansas Jayhawks have a very special fan site out there. However, it’s in danger of going away. The University of Kansas has some issues with it. They’re okay with the existence of KU Boobs. They’re just not okay with them selling merchandise with the Kansas Jayhawks logo on it. KU Boobs does donate a lot of the money raised from the selling of their wristbands to research fighting breast cancer so you have to give them that.

Pretty much any product you endorse can be sold by breasts. And breasts sell themselves in any ad, website, blog post. Some of the Kansas Jayhawks fan pictures actually have the girls faces in them; most don’t.

Chicago Bulls Thibodeau, Syracuse Orange Boeheim named USA Basketball Assistants

June 11, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim, Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, and New Orleans Pelicans head coach and former USA Basketball player Monty Williams were announced as USA Basketball Men’s National Team assistant coaches for 2013-16 by USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo.

Colangelo is an Illini and a South Suburbanite by the way!

Duke “not just a basketball coach, but a leader who happens to coach basketball” Mike Krzyzewski will return to lead the USA National Team program for a third quadrennium. And no, I have no clue what a quadrennium is.

“To have Tom Thibodeau join us, I think his reputation speaks for itself. He was a great assistant who has become an outstanding pro coach, and nobody wants to play the Bulls. The toughness that they show, their togetherness, their competitiveness, and the preparation that is there, that is shown by he and his staff,” Coach K. said.

June 6, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

During his time leading the Iowa Hawkeyes, UCLA college basketball coach Steve Alford (@UCLACoachAlford) was basically a sympathizer for committing sexual assault. Actually, he was more than that- he was an advocate of a sexual assault recidivist. He was a very powerful enemy to a sexual assault victim.

Steve Alford went even further and tried to make himself, the Hawkeyes program, and his player who committed the act, Pierre Pierce the victim. Even though there was an actual victim in that situation- the young woman Pierre Pierce sexually assaulted.

Yahoo hires Penn St grad Melanie Collins

June 4, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Former bikini model and Penn State alum Melanie Collins has a job again. After falling down from NBA TV and Big Ten Network to Total College Sports, she’s back to help ramp up page views for Yahoo! Because one thing Melanie Collins does well is increase the page views. That’s probably why Yahoo! is making this move.

Not that I’m any better, I mean I’m wasting a whole post here on Melanie Collins. I think she has boyfriend that plays hockey, so I guess that makes this legitimate sports news. Hey, at least I’m writing something Penn State related (sort of) that isn’t about something horrific and awful.
