WHILE WE'RE WAITING...

***AND THE BEAT GOES ON***
Texas beat Texas-Pan American, 104-42, hopefully securing their ranking as #2 in the country. Proud of yourselves, Texas? Even in the land of the "Cupcakes," Tex-P A is really inept. This rout brought their record to 1-10. If they have a football team, I think Syracuse has a spot open on their schedule.
***HOPEFULLY, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING***
This seems a little strange, even for the Yankees. So far, this off-season, they have disposed of:
Phil Coke, Brian Bruney, Ian Kennedy,
Austin Jackson, Hideki Matsui, Chin-Ming Wang,
Xavier Nady, Sergio Mitre, & Johnny Damon (probably).
...and signed only Curtis Granderson. These guys helped win a World Series, so there must be some kind of major upgrade on the way.
***I KNOW I'M RETIRED, BUT...***
I do require some sleep. The NCAA is considering expanding the basketball tournament to 96 teams from the current 65. That's like an additional 30 games. How am I going to watch all those games? And will Texas-Pan American be in the mix? They might have trouble beating the three referees.
***CAN YOU SAY POLLYANNA?***
Tennessee football coach, Lane Kiffin, says the NCAA investigation into the schools recruiting practices, is a "compliment." Just like prison sentences are a reward.
***COLLEGE SPORTS LONGEST WINNING STREAK***
Penn State's Women's Volleyball team has won 100 straight games. And no, Texas-Pan American is NOT on their schedule.
***THIS SHOULD AMUSE VOD***
One General Manager describes the AL Central as, "...the island of misfit toys."
***THIS JUST IN***
Duke 113
Gardner-Webb 68
I wonder when the "TIN-CAN INVITATIONAL" tournament starts?
***WE'RE STILL NOT DONE***
The Cliff Lee-Roy Halladay trade now include 4 teams. Somehow, Oakland is now getting some warm bodies, too. I hope all these guys know which team they're supposed to report to in the spring.
