Cricket Wireless isn’t about that life, though, and will launch a deal tomorrow (December 1) that’ll get you 4 lines of unlimited data for just $100 per month.The deal is for 4 lines of their Unlimited 2 plan.

Colin reacts to Dave Doeren turning down the Tennessee head football coaching vacancy

FOOTBALL

- Dave Doeren, the third best college football coach in the state of North Carolina, has turned down Tennessee. KRISTINE LEAHY: No. - This is currently the people who have turned down Tennessee, Jon Gruden, Mike Gundy, the Cowboys current tight end, Jeff Brohm at Purdue, David Cutcliffe, Jim Bob Cooter, and David Doeren, the North Carolina State head coach. When Purdue and North Carolina State's coaches are turning you down, maybe it's time to do a Manning in the mirror. You had a really good coach. Dan Mullen, Greg Schiano are really solid coaches. Wait, I'm told there's one more person that just turned down Tennessee's job. Kid Rock has just turned down Tennessee's job. Again, this all started with unrealistic expectations. Jon Gruden was never considering you. And when you put that n...

Lakers! Brandon Ingram showed off how much he has grown against the Warriors

Sports

Hi this is Tania Ganguli, the Lakers beat writer for the L.A. Times, here with your weekly Lakers newsletter.We took last week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, but we’re back now with lots of catching up to do.Wednesday night the Lakers did what they’ve grown accustomed to doing – they gave the Warriors a dogfight of a game. In each year of the Steve Kerr era, the Warriors have been a far superior team to the Lakers, but in each of those years, the Lakers have also stolen at least one win against the Warriors at Staples Center.That almost happened on Wednesday night. Instead, the Lakers lost 127-123.And while most of the players refused to admit their added intensity had something to do with their opponent, that was clearly the case.And now, the Lakers enter an absolutely brutal stretc

Men's Tennis Participating in St. Jude Run Saturday

TENNIS

MEMPHIS – It's technically pre-season time for the Memphis men's tennis team, as the team finishes fall semester exams and looks toward their January-opener against Indiana to start the dual season. But before the sprints to run down the tennis balls on the court begin, the Tigers will join 22,000 other runners who are in town for the St. Jude Marathon Weekend. The Tigers will run in the 5K portion of the event, which features four sold out races (marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K). Each race in the St. Jude Marathon weekend passes through the campus of St. Jude Children's Hospital, one of the world's premier pediatric cancer research centers. Families who have a child receiving treatment at St. Jude's never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food to allow them to f

Championship weekend sizzling, but some ideas to make college football even better

FOOTBALL

It’s that time of year.Time when college football lovers revel in what’s ahead — in this case, the greatest championship Saturday ever, with five games all matching top-12 teams. And also time when suggestions fly for how to improve the sport.The majority, it seems, craves an eight-team playoff. I’m opposed:— We kinda, sorta already have one: The ACC (No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 7 Miami) and SEC (No. 2 Auburn vs. 6 Georgia) title games are essentially quarterfinal playoff games, though Clemson might have a chance to sneak into the playoff even with a loss.The Big 12 panicked and created a title game, so third-ranked Oklahoma has to beat No. 11 TCU. No. 4 Wisconsin is grateful for its shot to take down eighth-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten game in Indy. A victory gives the Badgers the duct
