Since you apparently hate Steve Miller, we're moving on to a topic with more mass appeal. The Tribe heads to Boston (technically, they're already there) for a 1:00 tip today against Northeastern. The Huskies have been up and down this season, but they come into the game sporting a 3-game winning streak - a run that matches the Tribe's current 3-game upswing. W&M beat NU in Williamsburg earlier in the season but has their work cut out for them. The game is the first of 3 tough roadies for the Tribe - they play at Wilmington and Towson next week before getting Drexel at home. Says here they've gotta split the next 4 to have any chance of getting a first-round bye for the conference tourney, because it'll be tough for our boys to win their final 2 against VCU and Gheorghe Mason.
Bracketology is beginning to heat up around the interweb, with a group of 20 media types participating in a mock selection committee last week. As I was scouring the results, I wondered absently if I might see William and Mary in the mix, even as a wild-card CAA Tourney winner. I sat bolt upright at the thought - I can't remember ever once even looking for the Tribe's name in a mock bracket. The real thing is too much to contemplate.

not a great afternoon in boston for the fightin' wrens.
It never helps your cause when you can only get 6 assists in a game...
Jim Zorn?!? Ha!
jimmy jam!
and an lsd-fueled beatles montage.
yeah, that's right - live-commenting the grammys. it's that or trying to make sense of zorn.
clemson, you poor stupid bastards. how did you blow that lead?
i don't want to say this too loud, but i'm starting to get a little disappointed in the final season of 'the wire'. the media stuff, especially the way-too-obvious golden boy plotline, is completely overdone, and the mcnulty serial killer plot strains credulity. the marlo ascendancy and the omar revenge remain riveting - more of that, please.
the bar is perhaps so high as to be unreachable for the show, which remains the best thing going.
Marlo taking over Baltimore's drug trade in the latest co-op meeting was fan-fucking-tastic.
And, for the record, I'm looking forward to McNulty's case (and career) falling apart around him.
you'll not see a more egregiously bad officiating effort than the one that happened at the end of the georgetown/villanova game. hoyas deserved to lose that one.
Yeah, I saw that one....Now, understand I hate refs more than used car salesmen; but, that dude was in a tough spot at the end there. I mean, Wallace got bumped out of bounds (yes, his foot was on the line), so he was forced to call something. If he calls him out of bounds it's even worse and he can't call nothing...I dunno. I thought Reynolds kinda blew it by driving baseline and getting caught in the air. There was time left for them to get a better look than that...Kudos to the Villanova coach for not getting more pissed off than he did - showed a lot of class I thought. I would have injured someone.
he could've ignored the out-of-bounds, which was a close call. nothing to see here, folks.
hoyas never should have let that game get that close. hibbert should've had the ball in his hands on every single possession down the stretch - nova had no answer for him. terrible ball-handling by the hoya guards.
I'm with Dennis on this one. He went out of bounds and it looked like he was pushed (gently) and would not have gone out of bounds if not pushed. So, you can't give Villanofun the ball there. Having replay forced his hand there--otherwise you say he went out after time expired of that he didn't step out. With replay, you know you have to make a call.
shouldn't you get back to your unabomber-esque campaign against snyder?
When he least expects it...when he least expects it...
you'll be like helen slater in 'the legend of billie jean' - a hero to dozens.
"Fair is fair, Mr. Pyle! We didn't start this war. We just want $247 for Binx' scoooter!"
i choose to believe that quote comes from your memory and not from google. it makes me happy to think that.
Sadly, it does come from my memory. It is likely nowhere near the actual dialogue, although both sentences were uttered by Helen.
That movie also featured some great supporting work by Yeardley Smith. I almost cried when her character got her first period in the back of that station wagon.
Yeardley went on to do great things in "Inside Herman's Head." And as the voice of Lisa Simpson.
I am very impressed with Purdue right now, but please Brent stop calling then the "Baby Boilers".
Gheorghe likes what Robbie Hummel is bringing.
nice finish, uva.
