    kellyatcourier: Apparently, Jimmy Clausen got in a fight early Sunday. That would be fitting considering his coach officially got K-O'd about 12 hrs earlier

    kellyatcourier: Hawks may have just produced one of their most respectable games of the season. And theyll still lose by 20. Zero depth+all 3s=Losing season

    Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:59:35 +0000
    kellyatcourier: ESPN just showed Craig Brackins' bio. It said "talented skateboarder despite being 6-foot-10." Can't you just picture Coach Mac's spit-take?

    Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:57:54 +0000
    kellyatcourier: Just beat a life-long friend in fantasy football, thanks to Steve Slaton's decent effort. Excuse me while I uncork this champagne ...

    kellyatcourier: Cully Payne's deep 3 reminds me of my miraculous half-court bomb at Iowa basketball camp, circa 1994. Alas, my career hit skids soon after.

    Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:10:19 +0000
    kellyatcourier: #UNIbasketball: How stupid is the RPI? S.Dakota St. (1-2) is No. 26, simply for playing in the Paradise Jam. UNI (2-1) is currently No. 67.

    Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:18:28 +0000
    kellyatcourier: Much-needed win over BC for the UNI men. 32 points for Kwadzo Ahelegbe. UNI 81, BC 69.
