Tebow’s eye black said John 16:33, so we assumed that 16:34 would involve crying.

Instead we found something more fitting: John 16 only has 33 verses, so it was the end of the chapter.

Wisconsin has a quick guard who can score in bunches; and then

Duke played Wisconsin; and then

Wisconsin beat Duke thanks in large part to its quick guard scoring 26 points.

Some things never change.

***The network’s goal is to always put forth the best product available.

We got sick and tired the past few days of hearing college football commentators constantly using the phrase: They control their own destiny.  It was said about LSU, about Texas, about Alabama, about Florida, about Oregon.  So, if you win all your games from here on out, you are in a better place for good things than if you lose those games.  Genius.

We thought there was no one out there more tired of hearing this “control their own destiny” line than us.  But we were wrong - there is one guy out there who hates it more than us.

As you may heave read, Florida coach Urban Meyer was fined $30,000 today for making critical comments of the referees in the Gators most recent game versus Georgia.  To get his fine, Meyer claimed that the officials missed a blatant late hit on the precious Tim Tebow, stating, “That should have been a penalty, in my opinion…”

What we’re wondering, though, is why Meyer did not go on listing other missed calls?  Making $24 million over 6 years, we feel certain he could afford a few more $30,000 pops.  So why not keep going.  For example, he could have mentioned…

—how the refs completely blew the personal foul call late in the Florida win over Arkansas, nailing the Hogs with a foul on a play where the Florida guy instigated all of the contact; or

—how, on that very same play in the Arkansas game, the Hogs were flagged for pass interference when it was clear in live action and on replay that the Arkansas defender did not even tough the Gators’ receiver; or

—how Florida linebacker Dustin Doe clearly fumbled the ball before reaching the end zone for the game-clinching touchdown against Mississippi State, even though the replay official still called it a touchdown; or

—how the refs missed linebacker Brandon Spikes headbutting Georgia running back Washaun Ealey after the whistle and missed his eye gouge attempts of Ealey.

We’re just not sure why Meyer stopped with just the one criticism.  It would only have been $120,000 more - that’s nothing to guy making $4 million per year in just salary.  If you’re going to make a statement, Urban, then make a statement - no need to only speak half the truth!

It has just been announced that ESPNU is retroactively amending its Top 200 Basketball Recruits from the 2007 class.  With Taylor King having transferred from Duke to Villanova at the end of the 2008 season, King will now be eligible to play for the Wildcats in the upcoming season.

Hence, King’s listing as the 37th best high school recruit in 2007 has been lowered by ESPNU, now ranking him 79th in that 2007 class.

In an unrelated bit of news, ESPNU has also announced that it will be changing Seth Curry’s high school recruit ranking from no. 152 to 8.  Congrats on the move, Seth.

If you want to get any news about Kentucky sports, you can always tune into Kige giving you the scoop from his basement.

But now, for all the ACC scoop, it’s just a quick walk up the stairs, apparently, to the first floor of Kige’s house with Heather Dinich.
