Michael Porter of Missouri was a big name recruit nationally.. The whole story of his famly's association with Lorenzo Romar and since Romar got fired, Porter changed his committment to Missouri where the Porters originally lived. Michael's brother Jontay re-classifying to the same class as Michael to play with his brother. Michael was in the conversation to be the first pick in the next NBA draft.

Well Michael had 2 points and 2 rebounds in 2 minutes of his first college game.. Then goes out with an injury.. This was supposed to be just a nagging injury and now it will require BACK SURGERY and will be out an estimated 3-4 months.. I know that medical advances have made back surgery better but I have seen so many cases where back surgeries are the "kiss of death" for an athlete.. I am hoping for the best in that young man's life and a full recovery but what a rough way to start a college career!!

I hate them both.

Who do you want to win and why?

scored for UCF today and had an interesting celebration to day the least (you can find it on the internet) He isn’t s very high character kid it seems and would have not done well with fleck IMO

He does appear to be talented however

About the Gators coaching job.
Pretty negative .. They basically are saying the Gators job should be one of the best in the country and they can't find a coach. What's wrong they are asking.

I feel very blessed we have fleck and the path we are headed down. Go gophs !!

Are they televised?

if Aggie beat LSU Saturday, they would be ousting a coach with 52-25 record. I bet Arky would take him over Buttface

Good list. Chuck Fletcher, Kaler, Board of Regents, NCAA enforcement, Coyle, Jerry Jones, Goodell, Rick Pittino etc.

Two surprises. Well, really one. Patrick had said that he wasn't gonna list Fleck after they beat Nebraska, and he worried in print that if Fleck did the impossible and beat the Badgers Saturday, he'd have to praise him for it.

The real surprise? He gave the Grand Turkey to himself.
