A sneak peak at the new Jazz unis from @greginutah. What are we looking at here? Front? Back? Looks good so far.

Speaking of @greginutah, I'd like to get an interview with him for SLC Dunk and have him answer some of your questions. I realize he has a form for that already, but it would be good for the site (obviously) and I believe we would get some really good questions from you all.

So, if you would kindly re-tweet this tweet of mine to Greg Miller, maybe we can score a twitterview or email interview with him. Hopefully this turns out a bit better than some of my other twitter campaigns.

Honestly, who didn't love Stockton's shorts (via A Stern Warning)?

WTH (via Fat Shawn Kemp)?

Great day of college hoops yesterday, I don't see how today can match up with it. The bar was set pretty high. If there's one thing about college basketball is that the excitement level seems to be contagious throughout the tourney. If there's a lot of buzzer beaters and close games one day, that tends to spill over into the other games.

On that note, I'm excited for NBA basketball to be back tonight. Even a day off in this crazy month seems like forever.

Levelling the college field

It seems that the NBA’s one-and-out rule has had a positive unintended consequence. It has somewhat leveled the playing field between the big powers—whose primary talent often comes in the form of a freshman who will leave at the end of the year—and the “Who?” group that gets the not-quite-so-astronomically-talented players, but keeps them together for four years where they learn to play team ball and build a chemistry that cannot be replicated with the one-and-out crowd. Why is Kansas going to be so dominant? Because they have a core of seniors who stuck around for four years. Why were Stockton and Malone unsurpassed? Because they spent the time to learn how one another played. Time together.

To quote King Lear - NO NO NO NO NO

It’s a disaster. There is nothing to root for in college when every single team is a flash in the pan. Am I supposed to root for a coach? That’s lame. Especially when the coach is Kevin Stallings.

I'll make it coach.
