It’s been a couple of weeks since we posted our last rumors, none of which came true, but all of which came from viable sources. While a lot of rumors circling around have made it to national headlines, here are a few you won’t see, at least for a while. Don’t ask where we heard them from, we aren’t going to tell you. All we can tell you is that we may have gotten them from a cousin in the Dominican Republic…

The BCS served McDonalds pie this year with the usual humble pie.

BCS to Extend Invitation to the Mountain West Conference

It seems like every year that an attorney general will sue the BCS. In recent years it has always been Texas, who wouldn’t have to keep suing if their Longhorns would stop choking. This year it’s Utah that is actively protesting the BCS and claiming they have a right to the National Championship. The Utah Utes are part of the Mountain West Conference, which does not get an automatic bid to the BCS. Think of your favorite pie…if you only had one piece would you share it with a peasant kid? Of course not, you’d just give them $1 to go get two McDonalds apple pies. To the big conferences, the Utes and the Mountain West are little snot-nosed kids, why would they share? They won’t, they’ll just give them the dollar (or millions of dollars) and say, “If you are that good and so deserving, then we will see you next year, enjoy your apple pies.” How the tide has turned, the BCS in a moment of financial anorexia have decided to share their pie an extend a automatic berth to the Mountain West next year.

PGA to Hold Global Warming Tournament

So many sports have fund raisers to promote and support various causes. Sometimes in college basketball you will see the coaches in sneakers to support cancer research. This year in particular, every women’s team has pink uniforms and shoes in support of breast cancer research. The PGA has decided to jump on that wagon and hold a tournament to promote awareness of global warming. Thousands of pounds of fake snow will be strewn across the tee boxes and greens on the course. Also, all the players will be requisite to wear eskimo coats and ski masks. Instead of a nice car, a sled with a prize winning team of sled dogs awaits the lucky golfer who gets a hole-in-one. Al Gore has not been invited to the tournament for fear that he will declare he invented golf too.

New Kind of Madness to Invade March

There is only one time of the year that everyone gets excited about basketball, and that is the NCAA’s March Madness. 65 teams battle in a single elimination tournament for the right to be crowned the National Champion. For those teams that don’t make the March Madness Tournament, there is the NIT (National Invitation Tournament). Then there are those teams that weren’t invited to either that sit at home. Following suit of college football, where just about every team with a winning record gets to play in the bowl, college basketball wants to do something similar. Starting next year, it is rumored that college basketball will add one more tournament for the rest of the teams in the country that had a winning record and no invitations to a tournament. They will duke it out in what will be called the “Mediocre Madness Tournament.” Now everyone can get excited to fill out three brackets!!!
