TicketsThe NBA Draft is tonight. Normally, we would spend much of this space discussing where players will go and some of their professional potential. That's what most everyone else is discussing today across the sports landscape. Yet, seeing as how no Bearcats will be involved, that leaves that topic dead in the water.
But, if you still want to know about the draftees, well, Seth Davis does a great job ranking the top 40 prospects. Personally, I'll be keeping an eye on where Kemba and the Jimmer fall. Would love to see Kemba to the Knicks and Jimmer to Golden State where they don't play defense anyway.
Let's eat...
--- Tommy G posted the sights and sounds from the 6th Annual Women's Football Clinic. Looks like another very successful event with a big crowd and plenty of laughs. Although, when Isaiah Pead came swaggering out with no shirt on it also kind of looked like a Chippendales show.
The event has become a fantastic opportunity for women to find a behind-the-scenes look at the program and enjoy interacting with the players/staff.
--- John Calipari thinks a way to pay players would be for universities to secede from the NCAA and form four superconferences. This will never happen. Getting 64+ universities to agree on the color of the sky would be hard enough, much less leaving the NCAA sugar daddy and start paying players.
--- Mike Thomas posted a letter from the AD on the GoBearcats page as an update on the athletics department.
--- Four current or former Bearcats are competing at the USA Junior and Senior Track and Field Outdoor Championships this weekend. They are fighting for spots at the World Championships in South Korea.
Most notably, Terrence Somerville, fresh off his run to All-American status in the 110-meter hurdles, will be competing.

--- Great time of year for randomness, not so much for UC-related blog fodder...
--- A dog so fat doctors claim it can't exercise safely. I have friends who have been using that excuse for years.
--- Dear Krispy Kreme,
Clog our arteries with your glazed goodness. Don't pretend to be something your not.
Love,
Everyone
--- Eddie Vedder was on David Letterman earlier this week and played "Without You" from his album Ukelele Songs. It was predictably fantastic. Still excited for the 20th Anniversary celebration in September. Though I won't be there, buying the concerts will be on the top of my list.
--- I can't be the only one seeing the irony in Alfonso Soriano calling Chicago fans "the worst," right? He has seen his contract...and himself attempting to play left field, correct?
--- The extra time off allowed the Mannings to spend more time working on their commercials. And their delightfully fake mustaches. It's the first win-win of the lockout.
