All-Star games are horrible.

Whom do you believe, Clemens or McNamee?
Staubs: I find it hard to believe either one. A couple friends and I have basically assumed Clemens was on something for five years. What other explanation was there for him to randomly throw a broken bat at Piazza? But it seemed like a lot of people were surprised when his name was in the Mitchell Report.
I believe Clemens more today than I did before the two men appeared before Congress. McNamee is a total scumbag (not to mention a dead ringer for Andy Dick), and, solely on appearances, totally unbelievable.
Could it be some vendetta McNamee has against him? I don't know. I doubt it, but it's in the realm of possibility.
Realistically, McNamee seems like a worthless human being, and I'm sure he is enjoying the spotlight even in this odd manner, but there must be at least a shred of truth in what he is saying. But I surmise that both are telling half-truths at best.

Gravette: I’m finding it harder and harder to believe anything that Roger Clemens says. If it was just Brian McNamee making these claims, I might give the Rocket a small amount of respect.
But when Andy Pettitte backs him up, I can’t believe a word that he says. These two are supposed to be friends, right? It seems that Pettitte is the bigger man and wants the truth to be told even if it’s ruins a friendship and tarnishes his career.
It’s clear that someone is lying here. With more than one person now having said that Clemens used steroids, it’s hard for me to think that McNamee is not telling the truth.

Is the recent form of the JSU men's basketball team a sign of things to come or a mirage?

Gravette: The men’s basketball team put together back-to-back impressive wins over the weekend, and it appears that next year could be looking a little bit better than expected. Mike LaPlante could have very well saved his job with those victories.
I can’t see anyway that the Gamecocks don’t top six wins when they take the court next season, but I don’t expect JSU to compete for the top spot in the OVC.
They are basically only losing Will Ginn and will have more experience on their side. With that said, I think the future is bright with all the young talent the Gamecocks have, but I still see them finishing under .500 next year.

Staubs: Well, JSU played two teams that are competing to host first round OVC-tournament games, and pretty much handled them. I've been expecting their performances to improve, and I'm buying this team's chances for next year.
I don't think we're talking about OVC champions or anything like that, but I'll be beyond surprised if JSU doesn't qualify for the conference tournament again next season, and I think they have every opportunity to get a top-four seed.

What's the deal with the JSU women's basketball media members not receiving the same perks as the men's media?

Gravette: Staubs enjoys the luxury of covering the men’s basketball games at JSU. The luxury I’m talking about is the free pizza in the media room.
While I do enjoy covering a team that actually wins from time to time, I mostly think about Staubs eating Papa Johns when I leave. It’s a shame. What must I do to get pizza there before the women’s game kicks off? Any ideas Razz 47?

Staubs: Hahaha. I attended my first full women's game this weekend, and frankly, Papa John could feed everyone in the building for about the same price as he feeds the media for the men's games. When I can hear individual conversations taking place across the court - in between the pep band's incessant blaring, of course - well, that's not a pizza-worthy occasion.
