b-b-b-b-but the Lofty Academic Standards ...aren't as important as crushing the Big XII. Who would have guessed?

Huh. Some combination of the best of the ACC and the best of the Big East could create a megaconference that could compete with an expanded Pac 16, Big 16, and SEC, uh, 16. I don't want to get into REEL LINE MINT, but Louisville, Syracuse, UConn and Pitt might find themselves well taken care of in the new collegiate sports landscape after all. Of course, again, college basketball is ruined, but then it doesn't make the same amount of money football does, does it?

"Nebraska is not weak!"

Is there any possibility of doing football-only conferences, with the "traditional" conferences remaining for the other sports? I know it's highly unlikely, but these shifts pretty well ruin college basketball.

They join what's left of the Big East and become the Big Losers conference. And no, that's not anything I'm rooting for.

Everything west of Minneapolis and St. Louis is a vast wasteland. Dem's ignant fightin' words.

Actually, I think several people would think a tournament in flyover country is indeed a step down from playing at MSG.

I have no idea who that is.

It actually begs the question -- which uniform should Terrell be associated with? He was good on the 49ers, but he wasn't a super-duper star until the Eagles. And while he was a big deal both there and in Dallas, it always felt like he played more for Terrell Owens than for any team whose uniform he wore. It's kind of like Randy Moss, but on a different scale. At this point, what team should Moss be associated with? Probably the Vikings, but it feels like forever since he's played there.

They'd be awful plain now, but I really liked those Mavericks uniforms. I thought they were clean, colorful, and classy. If only every team that wore them didn't stink.

Sure, just like this one: Although, not so much "wrong" as "different."

Love your column, Mr. Simmons. But I didn't realize you were such a fan of sports logos and uniforms!

Seems to me this legend is in the exact right uniform.

Reposting as a clickable link. You all should really check it out -- it's a great ad for the Sega Genesis, features an enormously fat man without a shirt on, and has Joe Montana wearing a Jets uniform. Perfect.

Pfft. The only thing legendary about Kurt Rambis is his glasses.

I always thought that Pippen in a Rockets uniform was kind of weird:
