Local Cinderella: The 2002 Kent State Golden Flashes

One of the great NCAA Tournament stories of the past decade, the 2002 Kent State Golden Flashes were a whisker away from going to the Final Four as a #10 seed. After knocking off Oklahoma State, upsetting #2 seed Alabama, and then stunning Pitt in the Sweet Sixteen ... the Flashes ended up falling to the eventual champs, the Indiana Hoosiers, in the Elite Eight. Led by Trevor Hoffman and Antonio Gates, the '02 Flashes led us on the funnest local tournament ride since the 1986 Cleveland State Vikings. Jesse Lamovsky remembers that team in his latest.

The Weekend Wrap

Let the games begin baby. March Madness is here. And FIVE Ohio teams made the field! Cleveland State, Ohio State, Akron, Dayton, and Xavier. Should make for a very fun Thursday/Friday for all of us. Not quite as fun was the news out of Miami, FL that Browns WR Donte Stallworth was involved in a fatal accident Saturday morning when the car he was driving hit and killed a pedestrian. In the Weekend Wrap, Peeks hits on all this, as well as the Cavs wins over the Kings and the Knicks on Friday and Sunday night.

The Feel Of The Fan - 3/15/09

It was another volatile week of sports talk on the perpetually growing message forums here at The Cleveland Fan. The week got off to a tumultuous start when the Browns released popular wide reciever Joe Jurevicius. Then came the release of right tackle Kevin Shaffer. THEN came Jen Blanchard's column she penned this week on former Indian Brandon Phillips, which set of a firestorm of debate in our Indians forum. If you've yet to register, or have been just lurking and reading ... come on in and join us talking Cleveland sports.

The Weekend Wrap

The Cavs looked like they were wound tighter than a Titleist golf ball on Friday night in Boston. Their 105-94 against the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics was more demoralizing than critical to their hopes of earning the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference and for one of the times this season they looked they were pressing to go into an arena and get a big win. The Cavs bounced back on Saturday against Miami, and it was also a very good weekend for Cleveland State hoops. Peeks recaps all the events from the last three days in The Weekend Wrap.

The Feel Of The Fan - 3/7/09

There's no way to sugar coat it. It's been an ugly week on the forums of The Cleveland Fan. Browns Fan is distraught over another rebuild. Indians Fan is manufacturing things to complain about. And the Cavs forum has become a total trainwreck ... with the average age of contributors seemingly at about 18, and some kind of disturbing hybrid of your average WKNR caller and those idiots that reply under the columns on Cleveland.com. Forum members ... pick up your game. Cris Sykes is angry.
