Jump Ball
This blog will focus on college basketball while venturing into the other sports as their season's take shape. Since it's starting in February the first few posts may be outdated but will be a sampling of the hoops ideas from this season.

Tell Me Something I Don't Know...Really please do...12/2/2010
I know i have harped on some announcers and i don't wanna be "that guy" because I love sports and like announcers. They know what they're are talking about, but don't you just get annoyed sometimes when they cater to the average sports fan. I guess it's like the NY Times being written at a 4th grade level (a stat i have heard, however it might be USA Today not NYT). In the baylor game the announcer was just gushing over how hard dunn was still playing with 1:30 left and up 15. He didn't say that it's only his 3rd game due to the suspension and like a good leader probably feels, wow i better work my ass off after missing those games and making myself look like an idiot, or just like a young kid maybe he's just happy to be back on the court. My point is i know the announcer knows dunn was suspended and is playing hard, possibly even playing later in games than he would without the suspension, but he doesn't say that. The inside stories that big sports fans know only get mentioned once in a while by announcers that are aware of the same stories.
