I have watched a lot of college basketball this week. Mike Young at VA Tech, Tom Izzo at Michigan State or Bruce Pearl at Auburn...which is the sexiest daddy? Which would most like to take to bed and why?

Pearl looks like he'd be an all around good fuck in bed.

With Izzo, he looks like he could give a good, hard fuck. Plus, I want to see what he's packing from all those bulge shots I've seen.

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● DD and SM outdoing each other in the self-pity category ● poor Foggy, woken up in the middle of the night AND body shamed ● Gene Colan is slaying the art this issue. and his spider-man looks terrific! ● damn, i'm not that far along in Spider-man yet. spoilers! ● why does Peter have black hair? ● why does Mary Jane have blonde hair?

Synopsis: Still dealing with the loss of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man happens to spot Daredevil and figures him the luckiest guy in the world, little knowing that DD is dealing with romance problems of his own (Karen Page). Spider-Man returns home and changes to his civilian guise of Peter Parker. He notices a gathering of people outside his apartment but he's distracted by the arrival of Mary Jane who wants to talk to Peter, however Peter, not wanting to talk, pushes her out. In the park where the people are gathered, there is a strange alien ship which has summoned Namor the Sub-Mariner to its presence. Soon both Daredevil and Spider-Man arrive and a series of misunderstandings pit both the heroes against the monarch of the sea. As the battle rages on, in Los Angeles, Karen Page has returned to New York to see Matt. While back in the park, the teardrop craft explodes and a female figure appears and takes Namor away in a flash of light. With nobody to fight, Daredevil and Spider-Man part company.

UN MARZO DE LOCURA

Sabemos que estás molesto. Los no favoritos han hecho estallar todas apuestas. Quizás es el marzo más loco de la historia.Kansas, el campeón nacional defensor, y Purdue, el sembrado número 1, se han ido: los ‘Dulces 16’ no tendrán sangre azul, Duke o Carolina del Norte, por segunda vez desde 1979.

Están advenedizos como Princeton, Florida Atlantic y un equipo elegido para terminar último en la Conferencia del Big 12.

Y, siendo marzo, por supuesto que está Tom Izzo.

REGIÓN SUR

Alabama se ha visto como el sembrado número 1 en general, superando a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi y Maryland a pesar de la agitación que rodea al programa.

Esperando a Alabama en Louisville, Kentucky, estará San Diego State. Los Aztecas, quintos cabeza de serie, son viejos y les encanta superar a los oponentes, sólo pregúntenles a las universidades de Charleston y Furman.

El segundo juego marca los primeros ‘Dulces 16’ de Princeton en 56 años. Los Tigers, sembrados números 15, tuvieron la primera gran sorpresa de marzo al derrotar al número 2 Arizona y demostraron que no fue casualidad al derrotar a Missouri.

Se enfrentan a Creighton, uno de los tres equipos del Big East en llegar tan lejos. Inconsistentes al principio, los bombarderos Bluejays y el grandote Ryan Kalkbrenner están en los ‘Dulces 16’ por segunda vez en tres temporadas después de derrotar al sembrado número 3 Baylor.

REGIÓN ESTE

Florida Atlantic ganó la batalla de los mimados del grupo al superar a Fairleigh Dickinson, el segundo sembrado número 16 en vencer a un número 1, derrotando a Purdue.

Es mejor que los Owls estén preparados para algunos moretones contra Tennessee en el Madison Square Garden en su primer ‘Dulces 16’. Los Vols, terceros preclasificados, se abrieron paso durante las dos primeras rondas, empujando a Duke después de obtener una victoria sobre Louisiana.

Compartirán la marquesina del Garden con Michigan State y Kansas State.

Los Spartans están en su mejor momento este marzo bajo la dirección del entrenador Izzo, quien ganó su juego 16 en el Torneo de la NCAA como sembrado inferior al derrotar al sembrado número 2 Marquette.

Jerome Tang está llevando al no favorito Kansas State de un Manhattan a otro en su primera temporada en la Pequeña Manzana.

Elegido último en el Big 12, los Wildcats y el escolta Markquis Nowell, de tamaño pequeño pero que no se inmutó, hicieron a un lado a Montana State y desgastaron a Kentucky para su primer ‘Dulces 16’ desde 2018.

REGIÓN MEDIO OESTE

Tang dijo que los Wildcats ganaron porque “tienen tipos”. Houston tiene algunos propios.

Los Cougars, el sembrado número 1 del Medio Oeste, han jugado la defensa de encierro que los convirtió en favoritos del Final Four al comienzo de la temporada, manteniendo a Northern Kentucky en 52 puntos y Auburn en 64.

La apuesta de los Cougars para jugar el Final Four en casa ahora se dirige a Kansas City, Missouri, donde se enfrentarán a Miami.

Los veloces Hurricanes, quintos sembrados, golpearon a Indiana con una fuerza de rebotes ofensivos, anotando 29 puntos de segunda oportunidad para llegar a los ‘Dulces 16’ por segunda temporada consecutiva bajo la dirección de Jim Larrañaga.

Otro equipo de Texas todavía está en la competencia para llegar al Final Four en su estado natal: el de Austin.

Texas, el sembrado número 2, superó el despido a mitad de temporada del entrenador Chris Beard para jugar un baloncesto excepcional bajo la dirección del entrenador interino Rodney Terry. Los Longhorns derrotaron a Colgate en la primera ronda y obtuvieron su primera aparición en los ‘Dulces 16’ en 15 años con una victoria por 71-66 sobre Penn State.

El siguiente es otro entrenador que aprovecha al máximo una oportunidad.

Despedido por Arizona hace dos años, Sean Miller volvió a aterrizar donde comenzó en Xavier. Los Mosqueteros obtuvieron su primera aparición en los ‘Dulces 16’ desde 2017 con una victoria de 84-73 sobre Pittsburgh.

REGIÓN OESTE

El guardia perdedor Jaylen Clark ha hecho poco para frenar al número 2 UCLA. Ahora los Bruins esperan que su alineación no se agote más después de que el escolta clave David Singleton se lesionara el tobillo al final de la victoria por 69-63 sobre Northwestern.

UCLA todavía tiene a Jaime Jaquez y Tyger Campbell, lo que les dará al menos una oportunidad de vencer a Gonzaga en Las Vegas.

Hubo rumores de mitad de temporada de que los Zags estaban en un año malo. Un octavo viaje consecutivo a los ‘Dulces 16’ con Mark Few los puso a descansar.

Dos entrenadores con apellidos familiares se enfrentan en el otro partido de Sin City.

Eric Musselman, hijo del veterano entrenador de la NBA y la universidad Bill Musselman, ha demostrado sus habilidades como entrenador al llevar a Arkansas a los ‘Dulces 16’ por tercera temporada consecutiva. Los Razorbacks llegaron allí derrotando al cabeza de serie Kansas que hizo que Musselman se quitara la camisa, nuevamente.

El padre de Danny Hurley es un entrenador de la escuela secundaria del Salón de la Fama, su hermano es el líder asistente de todos los tiempos de la NCAA. El hijo de Bob y el hermano de Bobby han revitalizado UConn, llevando a los Huskies a los ‘Dulces 16’ por primera vez en nueve años. (Associated Press)

The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete - "Tobias" ed. Richard Challoner (1752)

Tobias and Son keep the faith and are amply rewarded. But also don't forget to pay back those debts.

Do not mess with Holofernes! Unless you're a badass like Judith.

Dracula Daily - "September" by Bram Stoker & ed. Matt Kirkland (1897, 2021)

That Van Helsing sure takes his sweet time but I respect the dedication to the process. And now I see why everyone wants to make Mina Harker the star of her own thing because these fellas hog up way too much of the action.

A Less Perfect Union by William Leisner (2008)

Alternate universes is part and parcel for Star Trek, and this series of novellas seems to have arrived at a time when authors were keen to meld those universes and pepper in some “what if...” scenarios. I like that this one gives T’Pol a proper due.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (2020)

The whole thing, just all of it. What a read and especially good timing as I was just in one of those former silver towns that were built on the slave labor from local people. The house is so richly described that I can still walk through it when I close my eyes.

Weird Mysteries - "Robot Woman" by Basil Wolverton (1952)

There should always be a test case for obsession.

Goosebumps: The Game dev. WayForward (2015)

A shockingly good game based on the Goosebumps license. It captured a really mellow, spooky atmosphere and wasn’t interested in rushing the player along. Just the kind of game I’d hope to see and I’m glad we at least got a couple of these meaty adventure games in the series.

Goosebumps Dead of Night dev. Cosmic Forces (2020)

Some potential in the second level (see the aforementioned note on pacing), but the first and third levels drop the ball a bit. I don’t need FNAF scares in a video game based on children’s lit.

"The Dancing Pig" dir. Mr. Odeo (1907)

Not a horror story but the puppeteering on the costume is so good that it’s kinda scary.

The Pac-12 put simply two groups into the related Press preseason top-25 positions, less than just about any significant meeting. The Hotline is a tad much more upbeat. We see about four groups effective at attaining the NCAA Tournament into the Pac-12’s last period of presence. Arizona and USC will be the apparent selections; Colorado and UCLA in addition have reasonable routes into March Madness. Others? We won’t discount Arizona State or Oregon as at-large contenders. Beyond that, the pickings tend to be a tad slim. Presenting the Hotline’s top-25 positions for a season that starts Monday. 1. KansasHunter Dickinson’s arrival (from Michigan) adds among nation’s top people to a stout selection of returnees. It could take time for pieces to coalesce — two-thirds of this roster is brand new — however the Jayhawks will be the NCAA Tournament’s top total seed come Selection Sunday. 2. PurdueThe Boilermakers had been a lock for top echelon of this recreation the minute center Zach Edey revealed their return. The 7-foot-4 rating and rebounding device is regarded as five coming back beginners from a group that won 29 games, after that flopped into the NCAAs. 3. DukeYou require a Duke level to count how many blue-chip leads — record begins with Kyle Filipowski and Jeremy Roach — but also increased college dropout could feel the stress building on second-year mentor Jon Scheyer to create a-deep run-in March. 4. MarquetteThe Big East regular period and event champs get back almost all their secret people except forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper. The principal problem for Golden Eagles: Their particular meeting, which includes the protecting nationwide champs, is completely packed. 5. Michigan StateThe Spartans tend to be extremely well-positioned for an extended run-through the NCAAs as a multitude of blue-chip recruits join mentor Tom Izzo’s gifted selection of veterans. Topping that listing: all-everything shield Tyson Walker. The top Ten appears like a two-team battle. 6. UConnThe 2023 nationwide champions had been whacked by attrition (not surprising) but appear prepared to navigate the roster change with a stellar incoming course that features Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer. Obtain the Huskies early or all the best to you personally. 7. USCFew programs fared better into the offseason than USC, which welcomes right back defend Boogie Ellis and greets in shield Isaiah Collier, the nation’s # 1 recruit. Include a talented frontcourt — keep an in depth attention on Vince Iwuchukwu, an old five-star possibility — and mentor Andy Enfield features perhaps their most useful roster. 8. HoustonThe return of shield Jamal Shead and arrival of wing LJ Cryer (from Baylor) can help the Cougars manage their particular very first period into the tough huge 12. The increased competitors could negatively affect Houston’s seed but will strengthen the roster for NCAAs. 9. ArizonaWe continue to be believing that the departures of ahead Azuolas Tubelis (NBA Draft) and shield Kerr Kriisa (transfer portal) may benefit the Wildcats come March as his or her mins move to harder, much more sports people. If change causes some more early-season losings, therefore be it. Triumph are evaluated because of the few gains into the NCAAs. 10. Hillcrest StateSo what does the encore appear to be? The NCAA Tournament runner-up must handle soaring objectives and enhanced interest. The comes back of Lamont Butler, Jaedon LeDee and Darrion Trammell can help tremendously thereon front side, since will the arrival (from USC) of shield Reese Dixon-Waters, which meets completely with all the Aztecs on both stops of this judge. 11. TennesseeThe Vols washed up into the transfer portal as they are the group to conquer into the SEC if shield Zakai Zeigler totally recovers from their torn ACL once league play starts — of course they look for much more pop offensively. 12. CreightonThe Bluejays get back three double-digit scorers from a group that won 24 games and included a vital transfer in shield Steven Ashworth (Utah State).

But among top-12 groups in the united states is simply the third-best into the stacked Big East. 13. KentuckyThe Wildcats gone back to their particular one-and-done plan for roster building because the force on mentor John Calipari increases. The outcome had been impressive: They finalized the most effective recruits in the united states at three opportunities. Come March, Big Blue should always be a lot dangerous. 14. FAUOur belief in FAU continues to be powerful seven months following the miraculous Final Four run. The Reason Why? Because all five beginners return, as does mentor Dusty might. Nevertheless the transfer to the United states Athletic meeting suggests raised competitors, even more losings and a tougher course back in March Madness. 15. ArkansasMeet more skilled staff into the SEC due to the mixture of a stellar recruiting course, two effect transfers (Tramon Mark from Houston and Keyon Menifield from Washington) as well as 2 first-rate returnees (Devo Davis and Trevon Brazile). Don’t dismiss the Hogs as your final Four danger. 16. MiamiThe Hurricanes have actually a massive void to fill after the deviation of shield Isaiah Wong, but mentor Jim Larranaga’s system should contend. After Duke, the ACC is wide-open. 17. GonzagaWe merely don’t look at exact same degree of skill in Spokane that existed for many years under mentor Mark limited. Transfers Ryan Nembhard (from Creighton) and Graham Ike (Wyoming) can help counterbalance the losing Drew Timme, plus the WCC continues to be Gonzaga’s for taking. Nevertheless the wider trajectory seems to be flatlining. 18. New yorkFrom NCAA Tournament runners-up in 2022 to simple observers in 2023, the Tar Heels regressed massively. Armando Bacot and R.J. Davis tend to be right back, however the battle for 2nd invest the ACC (behind Duke) depends upon the newcomers in Chapel Hill, including Stanford move Harrison Ingram and Notre Dame transplant Cormac Ryan. 19. ColoradoThe 2nd level of Pac-12 contenders begins with all the Buffaloes, which welcome right back ahead Tristan da Silva and guard KJ Simpson. Two newcomers, mega-recruit Cody Williams and transfer Eddie Lampkin (TCU), assistance develop a core four that will propel CU back in the NCAAs. 20. VillanovaThe Wildcats thrived into the transfer portal with Washington State’s TJ Bamba and Richmond’s Tyler Burton (to call simply two). Include returnees Justin Moore and Eric Dixon, plus the post-Jay Wright plunge we saw in 2023 might be momentary. 21. Tx A&MThe Aggies have actually obtained 52 games yesteryear two periods but nothing into the NCAAs, therefore the force on fifth-year mentor Buzz Williams is significant. Four coming back beginners should assist handle heat. 22. Saint Mary’sLed by shield Aidan Mahaney, one of the better people regarding the western Coast, the Gaels should win 20 games (once again) and go back to the NCAAs. And the ground is large due to Randy Bennett’s stellar mentoring, therefore could be the roof reduced because of the not enough high-end skill. 23. BaylorAny system that averages 26 gains per period (in the last four many years) playing in possibly the nation’s best league warrants an area within our positions. Nevertheless the challenge is high for mentor Scott Drew following the triple-whammy departures of Adam Flagler, Keyonte George and LJ Cryer. 24. St. John’sIt should come as zero shock that first-year mentor Rick Pitino obtained substantial skill in a brief period of the time with all the Red Storm. (record includes Oregon State transfer Glenn Taylor.) By March, we expect you'll see St. John’s playing the NCAAs — plus the NCAA examining St. John’s. 25. UCLAThe roster return ended up being enormous, but mentor Mick Cronin is much more than effective at producing an entire more than the components. He won’t have much margin for mistake, particularly in just what should always be an aggressive meeting battle. But try to find an upside shock in Westwood. *** Forward recommendations, remarks and ideas (privacy guaranteed in full) to pac12hotline@bayareanewsgroup.

Detroit vs. Everybody: Teenager John Blackwell is a budding Wisconsin basketball star

The freshman, only 18 years old, is playing beyond his years. Check out what Tom Izzo had to say about this impressive kid from Michigan.

By Peter Cameron, BADGER STRIPES Last year, Greg Gard and staff found a pearl who, inexplicably, had no high major offers in sharpshooter Connor Essegian. Now, they’ve found another pearl who’s playing better than Essegian – taking most of his minutes in part because he’s so damn good on both ends of the floor. That would be 18-year-old John Blackwell. For many, the freshman from the Detroit…

[tsportsday]

John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter It was the last opportunity for the Michigan State Spartans to show in non-conference play that they could still be a contender this year. A chance to salvage what had been a frustrating 4-5 start to the season.On a loaded Saturday of college basketball, the desperation unleashed a statement from Tom Izzo's team, which routed No. 6 Baylor, 87-64, to hand the Bears their first loss of the season. "Desperate or not, they kicked our butt in the first half," Baylor head coach Scott Drew said following the game.That's where we begin our five takeaways from the Spartans' dominant performance. 1. Tyson Walker displayed leadership and set the tone.The Spartans' heart and soul - their clear leader - stamped his presence on the game from the start, hitting the opening shot of the contest and scoring 14 of Michigan State's first 22 points in the win. Drew called a timeout nine minutes into the game just to stop the bleeding. It was 22-7 before his team could even settle in because of Walker, who started the game 4-for-4 from downtown and hit back-to-back triples in a matter of 45 seconds to push the lead to 15. If there's anybody who does not deserve blame for Michigan State's first nine games, it's Walker. The senior guard has combined for 65 points in the last three contests after Saturday's performance and is shooting over 47% from the floor, averaging over 20 points per game. On a day where Walker had to be the Bears' first priority defensively, he had the first and last word, totaling a game-high 25 points and leading the charge for the Spartans to shoot a season-best 8-for-12 from 3-point range. Tyson Walker drains another 3-pointer as Michigan State leads Baylor 2. Michigan State returned to its identity – turning pressure defense into pace.Izzo's Hall of Fame journey has always gone back to defense, and his teams dictating games by swarming their opponents and making them uncomfortable. The worry this season has been where the Spartans would generate offense from around Walker. But the answer to that question actually started with getting stops on the defensive end, which then turned into easier looks on offense.Michigan State swarmed RayJ Dennis and Jayden Nunn, forcing the Baylor guard duo into a combined 12 turnovers on the day. Drew admitted postgame that the Spartans were better defensively on Saturday than they've been on film. The Spartans forced 21 turnovers in the victory."We did something we haven't been doing," Izzo said. "We gotta get back to who we are. We were so worried about our shooting, and I probably did a poor job of talking about it a lot, too. And yet, for 29 years, we've defended, rebounded and ran. That's what you gotta do. And if your running game starts going, then you defend better, and some good things happen offensively." As a result, the Spartans scored 21 fast-break points and outscored the Bears on the interior, 42-28. "I just think the whole defend, rebound and run [concept]," Izzo said. "It's on our boards, it's on our walls. It's been that way since Mark Hollis was the AD, and I was a snot-nosed kid that came out of the [Jud] Heathcote group, and it hasn't ever changed." 3. Tre Holloman led a solid bench performance for the Spartans.The issue all season for Michigan State has been the lack of help for Walker. A.J. Hoggard provided 14 points, continuing a steady run for the senior after a slow start to his season, but he hasn't been the concern recently. It's been a lack of a real bench. That all changed on Saturday. Holloman stepped up with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the floor in 18 minutes. His activity on the defensive end of the floor, along with the fact that he's now shooting 12-of-25 from 3-point range, is allowing him to get more opportunities. With Jaden Akins still going through inconsistencies, it's that much more important for Holloway to step up. His effort was part of an output that saw the Spartans' reserves outscore the Bears, 35-19.4. Michigan State's freshmen showed more flashes.The beauty of this Spartans team heading into the season was that they didn't need this freshman class to do anything extraordinary for them to be successful. But for a better part of this season, that top-five unit has not exactly rung the bell either. On Saturday, Coen Carr jolted the crowd at Little Caesars Arena. Sidenote: I would confidently take him to win any dunk contest in college basketball.Coen Carr pulls off a WINDMILL jam as Michigan State extends its lead over Baylor Carr's windmill slam late in the first half sent Gus Johnson into a frenzy. When the 6-foot-5, 220-pound wing is in the game for Izzo, he seems to always supply something productive, including several "wow" moments on Saturday, which helped cement the Spartans' grasp of the game.But beyond Carr, Izzo was happy with Jeremy Fears coming in and delivering four assists. And on Saturday, even big man Xavier Booker, who has been the subject of a lot of attention for not living up to the hype, posted seven points on 3-of-3 from the floor in as many minutes. Izzo has talked about Booker needing to build up his strength to get more time, but if nothing else, Saturday offered a confidence-boosting game."Book got a little time, so now all of you can relax, all the Twitter idiots," Izzo quipped. "They can all relax now. He's gotten better because we put him on the scout team. I feel for the kid, but he knows." 5. Desperation did bring out the best in the Spartans. The real question: Can they sustain it? Should it have gotten to the point it had reached Saturday for this Michigan State team? No. But they held a team that has a top-five KenPom offense to its worst scoring performance of the season. The Spartans did it with suffocating defense that was born out of the urgency the team needed to play with. "Probably, and I hate to say that," Izzo said when asked if his team was in fact desperate for a win. "You shouldn't be desperate here. Here, this is the way it should be. I think what my guys should realize is we did it the old-fashioned way, and that got us going." Up next for the Spartans is a matchup with Izzo's longtime friend Greg Kampe and Oakland on Monday night in East Lansing. The Golden Grizzlies own a win at Xavier and gave Ohio State a scare on opening night. The Bears have to turn around and play No. 21 Duke on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.John Fanta is a national college basketball broadcaster and writer for FOX Sports.
