In honor of this years March Madness tournament we’re revisiting the Top Ten Greatest College Basketball Programs of All Time as decided by WatchMojo.com. Check it out in convenient YouTube playlist format:
Tebow is a dual threat quarterback who can run and pass, notching 20 QBs on the ground and via air, another first.
For Tebow, all good things come in… pairs.
- 2 National Championships
- Two Maxwell Awards, only the second player to win the award twice.
- So in that spirit, we give you these two nice pictures of his lady friend.
I am sure Tebow - who spends his summer season at his father’s Christian orphanage in Philipines and had John 3:16 written on his face during the Big Game - picked her out for her values.
Hat tip to Liberal Values Blog for the images of Ms. Tebow.
College football has began once again!
This is my favorite time to be on any American campus. It’s a time when everyone wears their school colors proudly and meets at the football field to cheer on their team and boo the rivals.
This year the focus of the Nittany Lions continues to be on 80 year old, head coach Jo Paterno. After 58 years at Penn State people are debating when he will retire and if he’s too old to bring the team to state.
The Nittany Lions are only three seasons removed from going 11-1 and finishing third in the nation. They went 9-4 in each of the two seasons since. Those three seasons followed a five-year spell of mediocrity at best — the Nittany Lions had losing records in four of those seasons (2000-04).
Although the debate of retirement may continue publicly, so far so good for Paterno with a 2 for 2 to begin the season.
Paterno denies that he will only retire once he passes Florida State coach Bobby Bowden as the all-time leader in coaching victories. Last season, Paterno closed the margin from three wins to one. Bowden leads, 373-372.
According to research that ESPN asked the NCAA to conduct, at least four men have coached college football after the age of 80, including John Gagliardi, still winning at Division III St. John’s (Minn.). Like Paterno, the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg coached major-college football after the age of 80. Stagg won 16 games at Pacific after turning 80. But he lost 33 and tied two. Since Paterno turned 80, he has a record of 10-4.
The public knows Paterno for his thick glasses and that full head of hair that is only recently showing signs of age. His coaches and players know him for his obsession with details. They say he has maintained it even as he is closing his sixth decade in coaching.

Georgia was widely considered the hottest team in college football at the end of the 2007 season.
A panel of Division I-A coaches remembered, voting the Bulldogs the preseason No. 1 in the USA Today Top 25 coaches’ poll, released Friday.
Georgia garnered 22 first-place votes in the poll, with No. 2 USC and No. 3 Ohio State each receiving 14 first-place votes. Oklahoma, with three first-place votes, and Florida, with five first-place votes and returning Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Adidas has created a site for college hoops fans - a site that features seven NCAA team pages with freestyle team chants, coach’s blogs, team shoes, fan gear and downloadable team wallpapers.
Fans can also instigate the “Call from Coach” feature to have friends or rivals called by their favorite team’s coach to get people excited for the semi-finals on April 5 where UCLA, Memphis, Indiana and Louisville will compete for a place at the NCAA finals.
Speaking of UCLA, Indiana and Louisville - check out profiles on these programs on WatchMojo.com.
The seven teams featured on “March is Brotherhood” are UCLA, Kansas, Indiana, Louisville, Pittsburg, Tennessee and Memphis. Teams were selected by adidas basketball as the most likely teams to win the NCAA men’s championship.
“Brotherhood” is a movement that Adidas basketball started in 2008 to encourage teamwork and collaboration demonstrated by those players on successful basketball teams.
Check out the site here… and check out all of the videos on WatchMojo.com… or on Hulu, MySpace, YouTube, Veoh, Revver… in the meantime, check out why UCLA’s program makes the cut of the greatest of all time below:
