Whatever the reason, the men's basketball team suffered through a pair of gut-wrenching defeats this weekend at the hands of Ivy League foes Brown and Yale...
...powerful enough to do spins and loops in the thin Rocky Mountain air over the mile-high academy. So a 7.7-liter, 260-hp engine was crammed into the 25-ft.-long plastic fuselage. With its enhanced power, the two-seat T-3 can fly 200 m.p.h. and make gut-wrenching turns in which the crew endures up to six times the force of gravity...

And yes, this is the part where the Cowboys make a run at the playoffs. But 8.5? Slim likes a close one. Good weekend, and remember--bet responsibly. (Psst. Go with Syracuse and Michigan on Saturday...
