Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...
Former Jets captain amongst Winnipeg season ticket holders
It had to be painful enough for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to say he was happy to be back in Winnipeg on Tuesday. But now that the city of Winnipeg met his ""This thing isn't going to work very well if this building isn't sold out every night," ultimatum, do you think we'll get an "I was wrong"...

Pico over at the fantastic blog, The East Coast Bias, asked for my participation in a brief Q&A before the Pitt / St. John's game. Below are his answers to my questions - be sure to check out his site for my answers to his: 1. I saw a bit of that St. John's / Villanova game on Saturday and was...
Back On Track
Pitt rebounded from a rare two-loss streak for a 63-53 home win against St. John's. No, they didn't play great. Heck, they didn't even play very well. But all in all, it's too hard to be upset with a ten-point conference win. Still, plenty to dislike in this game.St. John's was looking for its...

St. John's Posts Biggest Win in Program History: Upsets #4 Notre Dame 76-71
I LOVE MY TEAM I LOVE MY TEAM WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE MY TEAM BUT I WILL TRY. Mother Nature does not seem to approve of us having big games. There was yet more snow dumped on Queens right around the time people would start arriving. I was not amused, especially given the number of...
Coach Blaney prepares himself
(In an effort to bring some levity to the Calhoun situation,please enjoy what I imagine to be the events that transpired last night in George Blaney's hotel room as he prepared to return to the bench as UConn's interim head coach. It may not be true, but as far as I know, it's not not true.) Late...
