Ok, so we're not sure if Tony Dungy is leaving yet

still no word on Tony Dungy leaving the Colts yet. We called Kirk Herbstreit up and he's gathering details with Les Miles, Bill Martin, Bobby Petrino and Nick Saban, so we're anxiously awaiting details.

stay tuned!

Crazy Joe's Conquests: Kristy Barnes

Kristy Barnes made a big splash with the Bayside wrestling team when she destroyed Valley's Skipper Scalnic to help the Tigers win their dual meet. She also (contrary to popular belief) boned AC Slater repeatedly behind Jessie Spano's back.

But recently, she was conquered by Crazy Joe Davola, who followed up his conquest of a few college skanks last week with a big success story this week.

Check out Kristy's highlights outside of Crazy Joe's darkroom...

Dungy: is he staying or going?

Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy is torn between his decision of whether or not to retire or stay with the Indianapolis Colts. The decision will be coming Monday...

We asked Kirk Herbstreit and his factual, er, information to report on the matter and are waiting for him to respond. Since Kirk Herbstreit reports nothing but the truth.

If Tony Dungy does plan on retiring, Assistant Coach Jim Caldwell will take over the reigns as the Colts new head coach.

Stay tuned for more on this matter in the next coming days

900 Wins is quite the feat...

Coach Bob Knight will always have a soft spot in the hearts of many Hoosiers, but he's also a figure you love or hate. His boorish attitude, asshole tactics, make him nearly impossible to like, but you can't deny that he is a remarkable head coach.

His 900th win came with an upset victory of #9 Texas A&M. Knight only being 69 years old could legitimately coach to get nearly 1000 wins, although that could take him roughly 5-6 years unless Texas Tech goes on some unbelieveable win streak in the next 3 years.

Coach Knight, having met the man once in my life, is something I'll never forget. He's just a huge figure, not only in size of the way he carries himself. Although he brings 90% of what comes to him on, most of the things he does now are fairly soft in comparaison to what he did back in the Indiana days. ESPN likes to make things bigger than what they seem anymore.

I'd like to congratulate Coach Knight on his 900th win, just don't turn things over to IU's best passer ever, Pat Knight.

Does Rich Rodriguez have something to hide?

And it's probably not millions of dollars either. Trip found this in the Charleston (WV) Gazette, and Rich Rod is up to something. Rodriguez destroyed, player files, and player activities all at West Virginia.

Rodriguez, which bolted before the Fiesta Bowl game was said to be in WV Puskar Center with another member of his staff that moved on, and found this out.

"the staff at the Puskar Center found that most of the files — including all of the player files — that had been stored in Rodriguez’s private office were missing. In addition, all of the players’ strength and conditioning files in the weight room were gone. "

It continues on to what Rodriguez did

"According to the source, the files in Rodriguez’s office that are now missing included everything from records regarding summer camps — financial and otherwise — to data on boosters, recruiting and most everything related to activities within the program during Rodriguez’s seven years at WVU."

"Most disturbing, though, is the absence of all of the players’ personal files, which included, among other things, contact information, scholarship money awarded, class attendance records and records on personal conduct and community service, be it positive or negative. "

Why would Rodriguez do this? I mean does he have something to hide? Is he dirty? These are all questions that probably need answered at some point in time.

It could also be an attempt for West Virginia to get back at Rodriguez for bolting to Ann Arbor as well, and to help get back the four million that Rodriguez owes. Whatever the situation is, something smells fishy in West Virginia.

Why not make Jason Garrett head coach in Dallas?

Jerry Jones talks a big game when it comes to Jason Garrett, but will he pull the trigger?

Sources are reporting that the Baltimore Ravens have offered Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett their head coaching position. Garrett has yet to make a decision, but it is said that he is 60-40 in favor of taking the job.

Now I am a HUGE Dallas Cowboys fan and felt that Wade Phillips was never the long term answer for head coach; Wade only signed a three year deal in Dallas. To be honest I wish that they would have just hired Garrett as head coach last year. Wade did a great job in his first season, but I have never liked his style. There was a reason the Bills fired him even though he had a winning record with them. That being said, it is time for the Cowboys to get rid of Wade and hire Garrett.

How do you fire a guy who goes 13-3 in his first season? Well San Diego fired Marty after a shocking playoff loss and the Chargers went 14-2 last year. I think Jerry Jones needs to fire Wade after this disappointing end to a otherwise great season. Wade is now 0-4 in the playoffs, just getting to the playoffs will not cut it in Dallas. It seems like everyone you talk to is high on Jason Garretts' NFL knowledge and feel that he will make a good coach.

A source close to the Cowboys said that Jerry Jones has communicated to Garrett that he would match the offer made by the Ravens. Money aside, Baltimore offered him a head coaching position....can you match that offer Jerry?

Let's settle this with a poll dammit

Our friends at SI on Campus did us a favor by linking us again, now let's see if we can settle the debate of the better university in Indiana.


1) Indiana-5 national championships in hoops, terrible football program, amazing in soccer, Skip's fiancee is a student, Trip dated a girl from there, Skindog probably bagged about 3 dozen girls from there but isn't telling, campus is too spread out, pretty nice college town, highly regarded Music and Business school, Playboy ranked it top party school, chicks are hot.




2) Purdue-mediocre in hoops, wants to fire the guy who turned their football program around, good in women's basketball (anyone care? I don't), bars within walking distance of campus (Harry's one of best bars in America), "Boiler Up" worst chant or saying in collegiate sports, Skindog probably bagged 4 dozen girls from there but isn't telling, campus is ugly, nice underground hallway system, great engineering program, can leave football games at half to go drink more beer then go back in, chicks are decent (from what I have seen)

3) Notre Dame-solid and storied football program (minus 2007 and Boob Davie years), above average hoops program, beautiful campus, girls are ugly, no frats or sororities, hardly any on-campus drinking, must be smart (or an athlete) to get accepted, East Coast feel in conservative Midwest, best education of any Indiana university, Skinner bagged 5 dozen girls from here but isn't telling anyone.

Alright folks let the voting begin

Wild basketball in Gary

<----To the left is Indiana high school basketball at its best. Now, how bout Hoosier prep hoops at its worst?

Anyone been to Gary, Indiana? Anyone get out alive?

I have been through Gary several times on my way to Chicago, and I am sure to make sure my windows are up, doors are locked and I pretty much speed through it. Gary is one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country, with the distinction of being the town with the highest murder rate per capita in the country, but they make up for it with some wild basketball.

On December 26, Gary Wallace beat Bowman Academy 103-99 in overtime, this insane (and probably highly entertaining) game's highlights included:

a) 57 missed free throws

b) 77 fouls

c) 13 players fouling out

d) a player who wore three different numbers

e) a coach thrown out after tossing a chair

Now THATS entertaining hoops, did the teams go to the NBA school for thuggery? And hey Aaron Pineda, how do you write such a small story for such a great game? Can I get some details on the guy who wore three different numbers? What about the play-by-play for the chair throwing incident?

I wish I could get more info on this debacle.

I love SI on Campus, but they are wrong about this....

SI on Campus has been very very good to us here at Friends of Crazy Joe Davola, but they are wrong about this Road Trip though, and we'll tell you why...

The author of the article, says Purdue is the greatest university in Indiana. I disagree, since Purdue is ugly in many ways. While it would seemingly be obviously a biased opinion both ways, but I'm guessing the author isn't a huge IU fan, not that it bothers me, but I wonder if he ever has set foot on IU...

When your best place to watch a game is a run of the mill Buffalo Wild Wings, problem A exists.

When your best pizza is also available in Bloomington (not sure if it is the same company) you have a push...

Your best sports team no one talks about is Women's Golf, there is a reason for it, no one cares...

But this is where the boob author really hits a nerve....

However, with Purdue leading both sports' series records (107-83 basketball,
68-36-6 football), some wonder why Purdue calls it a rivalry. Aren't they
supposed to be a lot closer? Guess not.

First off, how many titles does Purdue have in Men's Basketball? Exactly ZERO. You look back to where most of the wins occurred were before most of our parents were even born. It's crazy, and also their fictional 1932 Helms (WHO?) title...Purdue has one of the worst inferiority complexes out there, there basketball will never be as good as IU and football will never be as good as Notre Dame. So basically you're bred into mediocrity.

Secondly this...

Grand Prix. An annual event that started back in 1958, this 50-mile, 160 lap
go-kart race that happens every April is a lot better than Indiana University's
boring bicycle race. Known as "The Greatest Spectacle in College Racing"

If it wasn't for the Little 5, which is more than a bicycle race, Turdue wouldn't have a lame ass go-kart race. I don't see people making a movie about the amazing Go Kart Race either, unlike Breaking Away. Face it Purdue has the biggest loser population on Earth. and there is something else IU has that PU doesn't

These IU hotties....

Yeah, IU has WAY MORE hotter women, do you want to date swine at Turdue? Or chicks like these. Case Closed....IU

Opposed to Purdue females
