How about the kids at Texas-Pan American, who lost to the University of Texas in basketball 104-42. Normally when a basketball game is this embarrassing, the New Jersey Nets are involved.

–
Meanwhile, in the SEC, teams are lining up to see if Texas-Pan American has a football team available for a non-conference game.

–

Because of the tough economy, schools in some states are trying to saving money by going to four day weeks. Leading some kids to say this has to be greater than the Great Depression.

–
A survey of Global Traveler magazine readers had Chicago O’Hare as the number one airport in the United States. With all due respect, many people don’t even think it’s the number one airport in Chicago.

–
There is talk of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament expanding to 96 teams. And we thought March was a month for low U.S. worker productivity before.

Okay, I wasn’t quite accurate yesterday. Turns out the Arizona Cardinals did not have two interceptions and five fumbles on Monday night. They had two interceptions and SEVEN fumbles. But they recovered two of their own fumbles.

Regarding the NFL’s blackout policy. Maybe they are going about it all wrong. If a lousy team like the Raiders or Rams doesn’t sell out a home game, viewers in that city get one of the nationally televised games. Wouldn’t it make more sense to say if the game doesn’t sell out, fans have to watch their lousy locals, instead of a team like the Chargers, Vikings, Saints or Colts.

According to Golf.com, industry experts claim that Tiger Woods’ absence from the sport will have little economic effect. And we thought Tiger’s original statement was unrealistic.

–

Tiger Woods’ popularity has fallen down to 33 percent. Any lower and maybe he should think about running for Congress.

–
Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin says he considers the investigations into the school’s recruiting practices as a “compliment.” If so, my sense is that Kiffin and the Volunteers are due for a lot of ego-stroking in the near future.

–
Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, move over. The Penn State women’s volleyball team now has a 100 game winning streak. (This, by the way, is 12 games more than than the great UCLA men’s basketball team in the early 70s.)
