The best thing about Abilene, Texas, is that it's the birthplace of Jessica Simpson, but Abilene Christian University may give the future Mrs. Romo a run for her money after the school announced a plan to distribute iPhones and iPod touches to all incoming freshmen.
Rushing the Court 101
We're not an expert on storming the court like others, but we know one thing -- you don't do it to celebrate a tie. But that's exactly what happened at Arkansas-Pine Bluff yesterday ... and the Golden Lions were given a technical for the infraction and went into overtime down two points.

Which Conference Produces the Most NBA Stars
Simon on Sports did a little homework and to present this fantastic breakdown of NBA players by college conference. We wonder who would win a pick up game between the ACC (Chris Paul, Vince Carter, Josh Howard, Chris Bosh, Tim Duncan) and the Big East (Allen Iverson, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Ron Artest, Emeka Okafor)?

A 6-year-old kindergarten student in Ohio was suspended from school for having a mohawk. Meanwhile in Australia, a thief attempted to rob a bar, only to discover that 50 members of a motorcycle club were having a meeting in the next room. The bikers tackled him and tied him to the ground until police arrived.
The Rock claims he's going to win an Oscar for his acting one day. We hope he wins a Razzie and returns to the WWE so we can see more of this and less of this.
