- Welcome to Kansas City, Mike Moustakas! The Royals "kiddie corps" brought up another member to the big leagues and "Moose" delivered with a broken-bat single in the sixth inning.
- KUsports.com has been offering a chance for Kansas fans to vote on their "All Decade" mens basketball team. The final five are Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. Not a bad starting lineup, huh?
- Down Tennessee way, another type of lineup is appearing before the NCAA. Former football coach Lane Kiffin, former basketball coach Bruce Pearl and former athletics director Mike Hamilton all are in Indianapolis for an appearance in the principal's office, i.e., the NCAA. Hmm, "former" seems to be the common bond here, doesn't it?
- Also in the world of college athletics gone wrong, West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart has resigned. An intoxicated Stewart was rumored to have been escorted out of a casino last month, as reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
- Remember the name Lukas Verzbicas. The high-school track athlete from Orland Park, IL has the nation's best high school time in the Mile; 3,000 meter run; 3,200 meter run; and Two Mile run. Verzbicas' times this year in the 3,200 and Two Mile are U.S. high school records.
- The game of soccer, or "futbol," is often referred to as "the beautiful game." Governance of the sport, though, is far from beautiful. The latest revelation is a Caribbean soccer official who admitted to getting $40,000 in cash at a meeting that is being investigated as part of the FIFA bribery scandal. (Source: New York Times)
- The U.S. Open golf tournament tees off Thursday at Congressional Golf Club in Bethesda, MD. Which American golfer stands the best chance to win the nation's open tournament? Steve Stricker, winner of The Memorial last weekend, would be a savvy choice. Or, how about Matt Kuchar or Bubba Watson? Actually, the player to watch may be none other than Lucas Glover, the guy who surprised everyone and won the 2009 Open over Phil Mickelson.
