The doctor of gettin' after ya.

Radford University bestowed an honorary doctorate of public service upon Frank Beamer. Because let's be real, pummeling the Hoos 12-straight years was quite the public service. Beamer also served as the university's commencement speaker last Saturday.

"I got to tell you something right now, though," Beamer said. "Your days of hanging out at BT's, Macado's or Sharkey's on your parents' dollar are over. It's on you now. Welcome to the real world."

Yes.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill
