November 30, 2009
By Daniel, SCS.com Staff Writer
Can you believe it? The first month of college basketball has concluded. Feast Week was a success, as pre-season tournaments swept the nation during Thanksgiving. Now, all of the exotic island trips are over, and it’s time for the meat of the non-conference schedule to begin. Most people have fun when they head to Vegas. Unless, of course, you’re on the Illinois basketball team. Sin City treated the 20th-ranked Illini....[MORE]

A LOOK INSIDE THANKSGIVING WEEK

A TALE OF TWO CITIES, NCAA FOOTBALL STYLE
November 19, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Back in 2001, two all-time dyansties of college football went a new direction with head coaches. A decade later, these two programs would become the biggest dynasties of the decade. Ohio State had won 4 consecutive Big Ten titles and USC has won seven straight Pac-10 titles. The two programs clashed the past two seasons, with the Trojans sweeping the series. Yet on the second Saturday of November, it was the....[MORE]

It’s been seven days since college hoops officially tipped off. Iowa, Alabama, Oregon State, Mississippi State and Stanford already lost to non-BCS opponents. Evan Turner and Manny Harris both logged triple-doubles. Harvard beat William and Mary in triple-overtime on a three-pointer by Jeremy Lin as time expired. Baylor and Seton Hall needed buzzer-beaters to avoid massive upsets. And Rotnei Clarke....[MORE]

November 11, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
For the fellowship of the undefeated, the last three weeks of October were all about survive and advance. Every single week, each of the seven dealt with some adversity. Some weeks it was keeping motivation levels high for a lesser opponent, other weeks the adversity was all about bad starts or close games on the field. In the most unlikely of circumstances, every team survived the scares and the adversity, week after week....[MORE]
ESCAPING - NOVEMBER IS FOR CONTENDERS
November 5, 2009
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
I have the unfortunate task of heading to a family member's funeral this Friday. It is at times like these when any escape from the disappointments of life is welcome, and this Saturday, that will be a great slate of games in college football for me. While this certainly always puts things in perspective, my only lesson in this is to cherish every moment you have, whether that's watching you beloved team on the TV....[MORE]
