Does Zoubek have the best beard in college basketball? He could always have a career selling paper towels.

It is better than Kris Lang's chinstrap..

Ugh. I just had flashbacks of a horrid baby blue mouthguard.

I think we learned tonight that Tracy Smith's beard has magical powers, so I would vote for his.

There is no comparison between Lang's ghetto sandpaper and Z's beard. With that said, if there is a player with mutton chops than that individual has the best beard in basketball.

A better comparison, I think.

Kansas State coach Frank Martin wears a fake beard during a post-game interview after beating Texas in an NCAA college basketball game Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 in Manhattan, Kan. Kansas State won the game 71-62. The beards were given to the first 1,000 fans at the game to support Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen's beard.

I dunno, Tracy Smith's beard was pretty intimidating last night!

The best beard cannot be found in the NCAA ranks, it hands down is in the NBA. Ladies and gentlemen, Baron Davis...

I love that the Kansas State coach wore that fake beard while being interviewed after the game. College Basketball needs more of that.

More of what? Insanity?

Martin's actually been a surprise. Most (including me) thought it was a joke to retain him and Asst. Coach Delonte Hill in a desperate attempt to keep Beasley and Walker when Huggy-Bear left. He's turned out to be something of a mad (possibly completely deranged) genius of a coach. Or maybe an idiot savant. Definitely something both good for KState but that still makes you a little uncomfortable...

That said, actually promoting a "Beard Out" (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ap-t25-kansasst-beards&prov=ap&type=lgns) for a huge game was oddly perfect.

I agree he looks like a lunatic. But I love that he was willing to wear the fake beard. Just like Bruce Pearl painting his chest orange.

Not all college coaches could pull that kind of thing off - K would just look foolish - it simply is not in his personality. But there seems sometimes to be both a dearth of colorful charachters (I miss Lefty Driesell) and an overly serious demeanor in the college basketball coaching ranks. It is nice to see some of them actually having fun.

Semi-OT: Did anybody watch the NBA Announcers' call of the Carolina/Wake game? At one point they were ribbing Van Gundy about confusing the Wear twins after they were told Travis was the one with the beard. Gundy's reply was something like "no way should that thing on his face be called a beard". Maybe he's also going for the "awkward Carolina big man" look?

It's no Zoubeard, but AJ Ogilvy has been sporting a pretty rad mustache in the past month and a half. It's been dubbed the Rally 'Stache and has led Vandy to 3-0 start in the SEC.
