One final look-back at 2011: the 10 most powerful front pages. // We are putting iPads in the hands of monkeys. // Did you miss this? Sneaky and scary that this bill was passed. If only the public could actually have it repealed. // Nobody panic, but a bunch of birds died from the sky again ...
★ Rutgers, that's a bad look, losing to South Florida after getting over on Florida last week. Consistency, etc.
★ Top 25 and One is up. See how we can tick you off.
★ Leftover stats to consider from Kentucky's win Saturday.
★ North Dakota is now without a nickname. The whole thing is dumb, NCAA. Just dumb. And I guess UND is without a moniker until 2015? If it's slow, post on this could be coming today.
★ The pay-the-players argument continues to fascinate me. I know a lot of folks get tired of it, but I don't -- and I don't think it's going away or quieting down.

★ Billy Donovan says his team's home game against Yale was the first time Mike Rosario didn't scare him, defensively.
★ Very sad: 37-year-old high school coach in Jersey died after collapsing during a game last week.
★ It's not often Duke goes dark, but the Devils have been quiet for almost a month now.
