The first one is that Cliff Clavin is replacing Big Pussy from the Sopranos on Dancing with the Stars. Second is of course the Anna Nicole Smith funeral how has this not been mentioned. My life was forever changed when I heard the news that she had died. <BR/><BR/>Can the AP not impose a blackout on all of the Anna Nicole coverage like they did with Paris Hilton last month? I wish they would. <BR/><BR/>As the one Duke fan on this board I have mixed feelings about this team. They have the talent to make a run to a Regional Final but they are way to inconsistent when it comes to scoring. They have no inside presence. I thought McRoberts would be that this year but he has no low post game. All it consists of is, if no one is open then I am going to try a hook shot that is really me throwing the ball at the basket and hoping it goes in. We will see what, in Dan's opinion, the mediocre Coach K can do with this team in the tournament.futurelegendvinceyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321227142567411487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-31755657504128038362007-03-02T13:23:00.000-05:002007-03-02T13:23:00.000-05:00Side note on fear the turtle:I have one of the ori...Side note on fear the turtle:<BR/><BR/>I have one of the original fear the turtle shirts.

That's 3 losses, all on the road, to teams with seedings of 1, 2, and 2.<BR/><BR/>I know Wisc only lost on the road as well but they lost 4 games to teams with seeds 1, 10, 10, and 11.<BR/><BR/>And Ohio St. was missing a best player for 1 1/2 of those losses and now Wisc lost a great player. You just can't expect a higher seed.<BR/><BR/>And you are bad at math. A 78% FT shooter making 2 is 8/10?

It's just sour grapes to harp on a loss, especially one if a call or something out of the players' control didn't cause the loss. Of course the point is moot. One of them will probably be a 1 and the other will likely be a 2. It's all meaningless because in either case you have to win 7 games to win the title...which is why college BB is so much more legit than college FB.<BR/><BR/>Ruk:<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in the results of your coin flip experiment.
