UConn did some weaving last night. It ran some clock and got a backdoor layup.

I disagree with it being more stressful being an adult sports fan. An adult understands that life is long and your team, most probably, will get another shot at a title. If you are ten years old, your frame of reference is all off. You are only in college four years and there are 'lasts' being that kind of fan, too. An adult can remember Bonner, or Lisch, or Hughes with perspective and know that tomorrow is another day. Hope springs eternal!

It makes it unnecessarily personal. I have no problem with Travis Ford the person. I believe he tries his hardest; that's all you can ask. That doesn't mean he should keep his job. Why not post referee information next? Hey, it's public. That's sarcasm, in case you didn't know.

I would find that very surprising, a coach taking a pay cut to get better players. Depending on how much he saved/invested, TF may not have to work again, but I still don't see it happening. It would create a precedent that his fellow coaches would be pressured to follow.

And Jay Wright.

I think it was Ed O'Bannon. Once colleges woke up and determined what a gold mine a good college athletics department was for literal gold, and reputation, coaches were better paid, facilities were better etc. Everyone got rich off it but the players. I don't think $500 per month keeps the troops in line with Jimbo Fischer getting $75? MM. Remember the Flutie effect? I toured Villanova in the late 80s and the tourguide openly said that their applicant pool got better since winning the national title.

This win puts us in the Big East conversation, perhaps as their number one target.

Is it any shocker that the most hated man in the NBA has a slight resemblance to the most hated man in the US Senate, Ted Cruz?

Does geography explain some discrepancies in pairings? Like Gonzaga being relatively close to Idaho?

2 balls with a large bumper at the penalty spot. Henceforth called the 'pinball variation.'

Memorial Day being about dead soldiers, I would think the best Memorial Day movies would have to have some dead characters/soldiers. Saving Private Ryan, Dirty Dozen, Apocalypse Now are up there for me.

I guess it's the equivalent of the do not call list, which means people will call him anyway.

Some people can jump out of the gym, this guy can jump to the heavens. He's fed a lot of people (inside). He known as a bit of a nepo-baby; he gets his greatness from his Dad. He's had a friend betray him, so he's being careful.

Friend reposted on FB that the Athletic department posted that he is officially staying. Maybe he and Fred can be practicing Drs. together.

There are two spring football leagues. I could see them morphing into a minor league.
