TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The first thing that jumped out as I drove University Boulevard on The Strip near Alabama’s campus late Friday night was the large police presence.
Police cars were parked in the median with officers in them. These were not prop cars on the interstate to discourage speeders. An officer returned my stare. Several other officers on foot stood in front of the Twelve25 Sports Bar, where Jamea Jonae Harris and her boyfriend first ran into Alabama basketball player Darius Miles and his friend Michael Lynn Davis of Washington D.C. on the weekend of Jan. 14.

The Blue Devils coach eclipsed a mark first set in the 1942-43 season.
It’s anything but easy to replace a legend, but Jon Scheyer is acquitting himself well in his first season as Duke men’s basketball team.

Avalanche defenseman Kurtis MacDermid entered protocol on late Saturday night after losing a heavyweight NHL tilt to Milan Lucic. The Flames winger put him out.
MacDermid, 28, stands 6-foot-5, 233 pounds. He rarely, if ever, ends up on the losing end of fights.
Lucic, 34, stands 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. He scraps quite a bit for someone at his position and typically comes out victorious as well. At the very least, the Vancouver-native always holds his own.
Neither MacDermid nor Lucic are strangers.
In fact, they went at it in Colorado last year.

Montreat College baseball won its series at Bluefield University this weekend, but it should have had the chance at the sweep. Instead, an ump show may have cost the Cavaliers their seventh win of the season.
Montreat, a a private, Christian college in North Carolina, was founded in 1916 and has less than 1,000 students. 45 of them play baseball, and were screwed out of a game-tying home run on Friday.
