D.J. Augustin declares for NBA Draft
Texas point guard D.J. Augustin has declared for the NBA Draft and will leave school after his sophomore season. Not a huge surprise. He hasn't hired an agent yet, but unless he gets hurt in workouts in the next six weeks I don't see him coming back next season. Good luck DJ.

Microsoft adds ESPN programing to Xbox
If I'm going to pay $4.50 for a football game I want it on something more flexible than my Xbox 360. I'm not averse to paying for HD copies of games I could watch on my PC, TV, or something more portable.

Kevin Durant to the Seattle Supersonics… maybe
The NBA Draft lottery was held tonight and the Portland Trailblazers won the right to take the first overall pick. That means the Texas' Kevin Durant is likely headed to Seattle who holds the number two pick. Tough break for KD as he'd have been an instant national superstar if he'd been drafted by Boston.

Antoine Wright exposes cheating at Texas A&M
Not completely surprising news for any college but certainly damning news that Texas A&M is doing all they can to make sure their student-athletes don't get an education.

Are the Oklahoma Sooners headed for NCAA sanctions?
Rumors are that the Oklahoma Sooners are in big trouble with the NCAA. There may be evidence OU knew about more players being paid for work they weren't doing and they covered it up.

Kevin Durant is a bad man
The Longhorns are young and have been inconsistent this season, but freshman diaper dandy Kevin Durant has been nothing short of sensational. Not only dominating the Big 12 but probably the clear leader for the overall player of the year honors as well.
Video highlights of Texas vs. Oklahoma St. OT Thriller
What a freaking game. Too bad the Longhorns had to lose but it was incredible to watch the young team rise up in a hostile environment. Horns will be tough to handle in March.

Braves trade LaRoche for bullpen help
Atlanta definitely needed to pick up quality arms but Adam LaRoche is a pretty big price to pay. The lefty first baseman had really come on in the second half of last season. Hopefully Mike Gonzalez works out a little better for the Braves than Dan Kolb did.

Dodgers to open all-you-can-eat section
The Los Angeles Dodgers are jacking up the price of their rightfield bleacher seats from $10 to $35 dollars this season, but fans sitting in that section will still be getting their money's worth. The section will be able to eat and drink as many hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, nachos and soft drinks they can. Beer won't be included for obvious reasons. Genius idea.
