The floors are finished oak, the walls smoked glass, the lighting soothingly dim. The 15,000-square-foot complex includes 25 stainless steel massage tables, a pharmacy lit with green neon and examination rooms for a dentist and an ophthalmologist.

The fourth was shaping up to be Tennessee until the Vols lost to Arkansas in the SEC semifinals. Sunday's Kansas-Texas winner may now land that last No. 1 spot, though the 'Horns (No. 4 strength-of-schedule, 11-3 vs. RPI Top 50) would have a better case than the Jayhawks (No. 59, 7-2).Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:15:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/grant_wahl/03/06/the.bag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/grant_wahl/03/06/the.bag/index.htmlCongratulations to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough, who appears on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated as our national Player of the Year.

But not this bad. Sure, he'd chosen UCLA over Oregon after being the consensus national player of the year as a senior at Lake Oswego (Ore.) High -- but what happened to his home state's rep for peace, love and understanding? On Jan. 23, the day before the ­Bruins-Ducks showdown in Eugene, Love found more than 30 voice-mail messages on his cellphone when UCLA stopped for a layover in San Francisco. He listened to the first one: If you guys win, we'll come to your house and kill your family. He played another: We'll find your hotel room and blow your f------ head off with a shotgun. He ­didn't bother to check the rest. "I mean, these were death threats," Love says.

He knows, for example, that neither consumers nor regulators like the current setup. Drivers regard the annual emissions test as a pain in the tailpipe. And regulators question the value of a system that gives them only one shot a year -in some places, once every two years - to certify that a car meets emissions standards. "In between, it could be polluting like crazy and no one will ever know," says Tripathi.Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:35:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/04/pet.deaths/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/04/pet.deaths/index.htmlHealth officials suspect 38 pet deaths in Oregon are related to the nationwide pet food recall, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association said Wednesday.Wed, 04 Apr 2007 23:07:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/kelli_anderson/03/18/closer.look.oregon.winthrop/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/kelli_anderson/03/18/closer.look.oregon.winthrop/index.htmlOn those days when Oregon's senior guard Aaron Brooks feels his team needs "a little kick in the butt." he'll get up and say a few words before a game.

By that point UCLA's Steve Lavin was a dead man walking (the Bruins' one-point loss would turn out to be Lavin's last), and Kent, who the year before had led Oregon to its first Elite Eight since 1960, was a red-hot commodity.
