Last Year's Derby Party Girl.

It’s said to be the greatest two minutes in sports, so find your fanciest hat, dig out your most expensive bourbon (for the mint juleps, of course), and pick a horse with just the right name (or odds or colors), and you’ve got the ingredients for a Kentucky Derby party. SI.com’s Ethan Trex has a few more pointers on how best to celebrate the first Saturday in May.

Hopefully, Victoria Gotti won't show up.

Redbirds still haven't won a game.

Okay, so this headline was a joke when we first posted it Friday after the Redbirds loss in the season opener. But now it's not so funny. The Redbirds are 0-4 after getting swept in their weekend series in Oklahoma City. C'mon, Birds. Time to fly. Or at least, wake up.

We Told You So…

With the NFL draft only nine days away, pigskin prognosticators have been gazing into their football-shaped crystal balls to try to predict where college superstars such as Matt Leinart and Vince Young will start their pro career. One of the hottest draft topics is none other than Memphis’ own DeAngelo Williams, rated by many as the second best back in the draft, behind only Heisman-trophy winner Reggie Bush.
