313's Heroes and Goats

From the USC vs. Michigan State game

The Hero: Travis Walton. Who else could it be? The senior guard scored a career-high 18 points, including successive jumpers in the final 4 minutes that broke a deadlocked score. Freshman Draymond Green deserves a little recognition for grabbing six defensive rebounds in the second half - nine for the game.
The Goat: Taj Gibson. The USC junior center fouled out with 5:28 remaining in the game. He finsihed with only three points and zero rebounds.

From the Michigan State vs. Middle Tennessee State game

The Hero: Aisha Jefferson. The Michigan State junior scored 20 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and took three charging fouls.
The Goat: Chelsia Lymon. The Middle Tennessee State point guard hit only 1 of 10 shots for four points.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Michigan vs. Oklahoma game

The Hero: Blake Griffin. The Oklahoma forward was everything advertised and more, scoring 33 points, grabbing 17 rebounds and being basically unstoppable. It was more than his 6-foot-10, 250 pounds - it was his quick feet and ability to draw fouls.
The Goat: Michigan's foul trouble. Blame the officials or not, Michigan was constantly in foul trouble. Manny Harris missed 15 first-half minutes after drawing two quick fouls and eventually fouled out. C.J. Lee fouled out, and Zack Novak and DeShawn Sims each committed four. That stifled any chance Michigan had for an upset.

313's Heroes and Goats

From the Michigan vs. Clemson game

The Hero: Manny Harris. The sophomore led all scorers with 23 points, including the three most important, his driving three-point play with 37.4 seconds left to push U-M's lead to four.
The Goat: Terrence Oglesby. The Clemson guard's wild forearm with 17:20 remaining got him ejected and deprived the Tigers of their three-point gunner, essential when they needed a triple to tie the game at the end.

WILF Wednesday: Mamma Mia!

Hey, guys, sorry I'm late, again. Now, don't worry about the title. This WILF Wednesday has nothing to do with Meryl Streep. Rather, I think has more to do with the country this phrase originated from, Italy. We all know Sylvester Stallone played the Italian Stallion in the "Rocky" series. Well, if he was the Stallion, I'm willing to say this week's woman could be the Italian Mare. It may not be the best name, though. How about Miss Nude Italy? She's naked in almost evey film she's been. And that is a very good thing, by the way. Well, whatever you wanna call her, I think we can agree she is a MILF, hot, sexy, talented, and has excellent breasts and a swattable ass. She's Monica Bellucci.

Everybody geek out! The Saturns are back!

Ahh, the Saturn Awards, the one awards show that draws as many geeks and nerds as the San Diego Comic-Con does. Trust me, guys, this show looks like it will be very fun, especially condering the nominees. Speaking of whom, here they are. The winners will be announced June 25.
