This Saturday evening, #1 USC plays host to #5 (but Beanie-deprived?) Ohio State - and SbB will be there!

Brooks will be rolling out reports & providing pics from the goings-on over at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and we’ll be live blogging all the exciting action. (And if it does become a blowout of the Buckeyes, maybe ABC will switch over to a more interesting game, like Boise State-Bowling Green.)

So, be sure to stick around Saturday night, starting at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT), for your scintillating SbB supplement to college football frivolity!

SbB will once again be treating out fair readers to another lively live blog this weekend, this time hitting the hardwood for the NBA Playoffs.

We’ll be covering Saturday’s Game 1 between the New Orleans Hornets & Dallas Mavericks - much to Mark Cuban’s dismay. Tune in as we analyze the efforts of Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki and the rest of the hoopsters - and any strange commercials we come across. The fun starts around 7 p.m. Eastern.

We’ll also keep an eye on Ric Bucher trying to sneak into the arena.
