NCAA Trophy

NABC NCAA Trophy

This trophy has been called the Siemens Trophy and commonly referred to as the NCAA Trophy. The beautiful crystal basketball trophy is given to the top-ranked team in its end-of-season coaches’ poll, which is almost always the NCAA championship game winner. This trophy is presented by the NABC or The National Association of Basketball Coaches. Note that this is not the same as the NCAA’s own trophy which is awarded separately.

Curt Shilling Retires on 38 pitches

Curt Shilling (not Kurt Shilling) has officially announced his retirement on his blog today.  You can check out his Curt Schilling Blog for some more information but I’ve copied some below for you to read:

“Turn out the lights, the party’s over”…

Four World Series, three World Championships. That there are men with plaques in Cooperstown who never experienced one — and I was able to be on three teams over seven years that won it all — is another “beyond my wildest dreams” set of memories I’ll take with me.

Bye Curt.
