If you’re in sports, you’re lucky to have a nickname, let alone a cool one. Yet Don Haskins, the legendary ex-UTEP college basketball coach who died Sunday at the age of 78 , had two: “the Bear,” and “ the John Wayne of college basketball .” OK, so “Bear” was much more common. Even my mom knew who “the Bear” was. That gruff scowling guy on the sidelines whose teams seemingly won the WAC every season was hard to miss. (It helped that we lived in Wyoming, where Haskins’ Miners always seemed to have the edge on the Cowboys, even when the Pokes had Fennis and Leckner in the Dome of Doom. It all sounds like an Indiana Jones movie…) Even when Wyoming finally had a team that was more highly touted, UTEP still held home court in 1988, beating the No. 5-ranked Pokes, 68-62, in El Paso. I had a Wyoming scrapbook of game clippings that season (when you’re 10 and a Wyoming player is on the cover of SI , you make sure you document everything), and couldn’t believe UW couldn’t pull out a much-needed road win. Turns out BYU won the regular-season title that year anyway. UTEP, after winning a share or the outright title the five previous years, finished fourth, but still made the NCAA tournament. The Miners usually did, playing in the Big Dance from 1984-1990. That’s consistency any school can envy. Haskins’ final trip to the NCAAs was 1992, when UTEP stunned top-seeded Kansas in the second round . The Miners had won three NCAA Tourney games from ’84- ...

Indiana has the tradition . It has the titles. It has legendary coaches, players and a fan base few teams can match. What the Hoosiers don’t have is a recent résumé comparable to the rest of its storied history . Just one Final Four since 1993. One Big Ten title since 1994. NCAA tournament misses in 2004 and 2005, their first since the mid-80s. Those kind of on-court struggles – complicated by their coaching issues since 2000 – are why the Hoosiers are No. 6 on the list of greatest college basketball programs . Not that six is low, mind you. It’s just a little strange to think of five programs being better than Indiana. But someone from Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina and UCLA was going to miss out on the top five. The Hoosiers can make up the difference, though. They certainly have a rich history to build on. Indiana’s five NCAA tournament titles are behind only UCLA (11) and Kentucky (7), while their eight Final Fours are tied with Louisville for seventh most. The Hoosiers have been to the Big Dance 35 times (more than Duke), but their Tourney win percentage (.666) is 10 th best, just behind Michigan State. Indiana’s 1,635 victories are 10 th most, but its .649 win percentage is just behind Illinois and Utah. The Hoosiers’ 20 regular-season conference titles   are 1 more than Ohio State). Indiana also has had 11 players named consensus All-Americans 14 times and have sported two players of the year in Scott May an ...

I mentioned this in today’s story, but perhaps it’s worth clarifying: NCAA rules wouldn’t preclude the MAAC from holding its tournament at Mohegan Sun Casino — or any other casino, for that matter.

Having been born and raised West Coast, I've never been able to experience a Steelers game in the Burgh.  For that matter, I've never had the opportunity to experience much of the atmosphere that surrounds Steeler football in-season.  I'm posting this because I would like, from those of you who have the experience, to get an idea of what it's like to be in Pittsburgh when the Steelers are in-season, and looking strong.  For instance, I would have loved to have been in town during the 05 playoff push to experience what REAL FANS are like (my uncle and cousin were at the SB parade and said that 250,000 people lined the streets in 20 degree weather).  I lived in Tucson, AZ when the men's basketball team won the NCAA Tourney in 97, and I've been in Sacramento for a couple good Kings teams, but from what I understand, it's not the same experience as the Steelers dominating the league. Any of you out there who can chime in, please do.  I'm HOPEFULLY going to my first game in October...and I can hardly sit still just thinking about it.  ...
