You Should Always Practice Trick Plays You May Never Need: This video from the junior college down the road has one of the most hilarious bits ever. At about 1:30, The Charles exhorts his troops to... celebrate better.

Well, Make Up Your Minds: About a month ago, both VCU and George Mason denied that they were even talking to the Atlantic 10. Now Lenn Robbins of the New York Post is tweeting that they're joining the Atlantic 10 on May 1. Butler is still in play as well. Stay tuned.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Oops: The person responsible for shattering Alabama's BCS trophy has been identified, and he's the father of long-snapper Carson Tinker. Kinda puts Alabama's inability to kick field goals in a different light, I guess.

Sic Semper Tyranus: Bo Ryan has relented in the face of public pressure, so we now turn our attention to... ah, the closest Division I school to this keyboard. Tulsa AD Ross Parmley has now thrown a laundry list of no-sirs at transferring guard Jordan Clarkson. (New coach Danny Manning is, apparently, uninvolved in the nonsense.)
Presented Without Salacious Comment: Details of Bobby Petrino's discussions with Jeff Long have surfaced, and included are details about his affair.

Memphis Committed a Violation? NO WAY!: Josh Pastner accidentally committed a secondary violation Tuesday night, and the explanation is entertaining.
Grantland Discovers MACtion: Nice piece about the MAC over at Grantland, with a nod to Hustle Belt's Matt Sussman.
Speaking of SBN Blogs: Ohio State has a new one, Land-Grant Holy Land, helmed by Jeff Zimmerman from the EDSBS team. That in and of itself is a recommendation.
