I know you have been eagerly waiting our expert opinions (yeah right) on who will win and who will cover in Super Bowl XLI.

I think this is actually a pretty interesting match-up, with Peyton’s offense going up against the great Bear’s defense. I think for the Bear’s to win they need to jump out to a fast start. With their offense, I really don’t see them being able to come back against the Colts. The Colts have proven they can recover from a slow start with their win against the Patriots, where they were down by 18 in the first half.

I see a close game in the first half with the Colts pulling away in the end. Feel free to add your own predictions.

I guess this is pretty old, but it is still a pretty good interview. Interesting that in the video they say Durant decided on going to Texas even before going to Montrose Christian. I don’t know though, the way they were talking, I bet if the NBA didn’t have the new age limit rule Durant would be playing with TJ Ford in Toronto right now.

Talk about an impressive stat line for Tiffany Jackson, 22 points, 13 rebounds, six blocks and four steals. That is doing it in all phases of the game.

The game was pretty close in the end, but the Sooners just went cold and Texas pulled out the win.

Bob Knight shows his softer side, giving Rick Barnes framed strategy notes from his record breaking 880th win against New Mexico.

Man, this ESPN guy sure gets a kick out of this. It’s not often you see a sportscaster laugh at an athlete that hard.

Wouldn’t mind seeing them do this when we play them on March 3rd.

Rivals and other recruiting sites are reporting that Gilmer offensive lineman [tag]David Snow[/tag] is the Longhorns’ first 2008 commitment. Snow has been a heavy Texas lean for a long time and he couldn’t even wait till Texas’ first Junior Day on February 11th to give Mack Brown and Mac McWhorter his pledge. Nothing official yet from David or the Gilmer coaching staff but it sounds like this one is pretty much a done deal.

Not many official rankings out yet for 2008 recruits but Snow is one of the top players in the state of Texas and likely one of the nation’s top offensive lineman. With Tray Allen and the rest of the “class of beef” last year and several other big time targets this year, the Longhorns are building an incredible foundation up front. Future offensive skill position guys have to love the thought playing behind all that talent on the offensive line.

The Dolphins’ coaching staff will decide on whether they want Ricky Williams to return.

Pat Forde thinks A&M has the ugliest court in the nation because of their little brother syndrome.

Vasher’s mom has to prepare for the Super Bowl too. Man, I had no idea, hopefully she can watch the game ok.

This is one of the funnier clips I have seen of [tag]Bob Knight[/tag]. Apparently he thinks [tag]Kevin Durant[/tag] is a good player.. My favorite part:

“There’s no secret. There’s no secret thing he drinks before the game. There’s no secret thing he rubs on his ***.”

Is it just me or does this remind you of the Dennis Green blowup after the Cardinals lost to the Bears. “They are who we though they are!”. You can almost hear Bob Knight saying, “Durant is who we thought he is!” Haha.

So this brings up the question. Just how good is Kevin Durant? We will let you decide. Vote for who you think the best player in college basketball is right now. You can vote below or in the sidebar to the right.
