I've had a nagging professional problem on my mind for the past several weeks. As is often the case, I've followed the advice of a college friend and ignored the issue. Today, through no action of my own, the problem went away. Darren Brown would be proud.Don't tell my kids, but that's...one to grow on.
the amount of talent that comes out of that town is simply jaw-dropping.
ReplyDeleteAnyone want to read me drone on some more about VCU?

"pen another tome" sounds like a euphamism.
ReplyDeleteNice article Teedge, but respectfully, the 2006 Patriots beat a Big 10 school that made the Final Four in 2005, an ACC school that was the defending champions, a Big East school that won it all in 2004, and a team nicknamed the Shockers. Not too shabby.
ReplyDeleteZ, they did indeed, but in a much different manner than VCU so far. VCU has basically crushed three large conf schools, and pretty easily at that.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. They still haven't left bloody Shockers in their wake.
ReplyDeleteI don't see what Wichita State has to do with this.
ReplyDeleterob - do you keep in touch w/mr. brown? how about his partner in crime b.f.?
ReplyDeletegood & funny peeps those two...
dave (or possibly the almighty yojo - i can never tell the two apart) is in touch with mr. brown with some regularity. bf is in/around wilmington, delaware last i knew. haven't spoken to either of them in years, sadly.
ReplyDeletesay goodnight, brucie. and vcu's not gonna have enough bucks from the tourney to cover shaka smart's new salary. my money's on georgia tech as his destination.
ReplyDeletemarty schottenheimer to coach the ufl virginia destroyers. awesome potential: high.
ReplyDeletecorrection-- i used to be in touch with darren, i haven't heard from him in years. i heard he was having trouble with his eyes. marston?
ReplyDeleteand i can't believe he stole my idea for a knot tying book! i've been working on my knot tying magnum opus for twenty years now. i guess i'll burn it.
ReplyDeleteMelo's no-foul was tremendous acting by Big Baby.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be happier that Bruce Pearl has been canned. That guy's a great coach and a stellar recruiter. I look forward to Tennessee hoops becoming irrelevant once more.
ReplyDeleteAlso, anybody know the player whose illegal presence at a BBQ at Pearl's house led to this whole mess?
ReplyDeleteOliver Miller?
ReplyDeleteTJ's tweets over the last few days are rivaling Buzz Bissinger's tweets in bitterness and craziness. I didn't know he had that kind of range.
ReplyDeleteYou should hear my falsetto.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, he is a castrato.
ReplyDeletepearl's gonna get the towson job. the caa's hot, baby.
ReplyDeleteOhio State freshman PG Aaron Craft.
ReplyDeleteMark, has the Craft photo made its way around the interwebs? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteThe Bruce Pearl saga is the negative image of the Hollywood story, the guy who was crushed by peers because he outed a crooked program, fought through it, then fell victim to the same sketchy system. 30 for 30 type fodder.
