The Life


The Pulse: Crazy for Hoops
ESPN The Magazine

Does it make sense that the four winningest college basketball programs are also the most irritating? Of course. Is it a surprise that their top fan sites are also the most irritating? Of course not. Use these links to root around, and then punch your ballot in the poll at right (offer not valid in Florida).

KENTUCKY
wildcatfaithful.com

Money: True believers come together in the fan forum (alas, no sign of Ashley); smart links send them to the Web for Kentucky-fried opinions.
Choke: We tried to register for a live chat, but the screen name "Adolph Rupp" was taken.

NORTH CAROLINA
uncbasketball.com

Money: Sweet recruiting link (Adam Boone's Diary!) and smack-infested board, rife with Tar Heel attacks on the Duke Basketball Report (see below).
Choke: Breathless coverage of Matt Doherty's first open practice. "Nothing earth-shattering took place." Thanks for the update.

KANSAS
kuhoops.com

Money: Kansas fans are ill. A 1,700-word treatise on the Emporia State exhibition, plus a downloadable "Rock! Chalk! Jayhawk!" chant.
Choke: "In Roy We Trust." Are they watching the same games we are?

DUKE
dukebasketballreport.com

Money: The Crimebeat ("Two Heels Beat the Rap!") and Fly in the Stall (well-aimed streams of invective at "Coach D'oh") will make Carolina blue blood boil.
Choke: Annoying tendency to confuse K with JC.
