Spring Break
Your sports playlist

Last weekend, I was crusin' the open road listening to some good, old-fashioned FM radio. Like many people, I'm obsessed with my IPod, so I don't usually get a chance to listen to the songs that hit the radio waves. After listening for an hour or so, I was completely taken aback by how many songs were about sports. Ever since Jim Jones released "Ballin," it seems like every popular single out there has a sports-related theme. Don't know what I'm talking about? Check this playlist out:
"Day and Night" (Kid Cudi and Jim Jones) : Chart-topper about when Rutgers sucks.
"One More Drink..."(Ludacris and T-Pain): Don Nelson's pre-game thought process.
"Blame it on the Alcohol" (Jamie Foxx and T-Pain): How Nelson copes with a bad loss.
"Crack a Bottle" (Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent): How Nelson copes with a big win.
"If I were a Boy" (Beyonce): The one regret in Pat Summit's life.
"Love Story" (Taylor Swift): Examines the relationship between Bobby Knight and Digger Phelps.
"Womanizer" (Britney Spears): Eric Devendorf on a good day.
"Untouched" (The Veronicas): Dance hit about the amount of contact on most fouls called in Tyler Hansbrough's favor.
"Dead and Gone" (T.I. and Justin Timberlake): Radio smash that depicts Georgetown's NCAA tournament hopes.
"My Life Would Suck Without You" (Kelly Clarkson): Fast-rising pop hit that Mo Williams sings to LeBron James before every practice.
"Circus" (Britney Spears): The manner in which Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez conducts his practices.
"I Hate This Part" (Pussycat Dolls):What Jim Calhoun says to his assistant coaches when he sends Jonathan Mandeldove into the game.
"Love Lockdown" (Kanye West): The best defensive strategy against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Closer" (Ne-Yo): Plays everytime Jonathan Papelbon checks into the game.
"Just Dance" (Lady GaGa): What the NBA instructed Shaq to do at the All-Star game.
"Can't Believe It" (T-Pain and Lil Wayne): Jim Boeheim's reaction after Arinze Onuaku makes a free throw.
"Hot N Cold" (Katy Perry): Catchy pop song about Kyle McAlarney jumpshot.
"Gives you Hell" (The All-American Rejects): What Jim Calhoun told UMass coach Derek Kellogg when the Minutemen offered Doug Wiggins a scholarship.
"Jumping out the window" (Ron Browz): A club banger that Vince Young took too seriously.
"Day and Night" (Kid Cudi and Jim Jones) : Chart-topper about when Rutgers sucks.
"One More Drink..."(Ludacris and T-Pain): Don Nelson's pre-game thought process.
"Blame it on the Alcohol" (Jamie Foxx and T-Pain): How Nelson copes with a bad loss.

That was actually really funny.
And to "rock is better": this isn't an actual playlist so it doesnt matter if all the songs suck or if youve never heard them
