First off, today is the ten-year Anniversary of Al McGuire's death. We'll have a special post on Al around noon.
(Apologies in advance for the overuse of the word awesome.)
This Muppets remix is pretty awesome.
Sweet Baby Jesus, make this sh*t stop.
In case you had forgotten: money gets you chicks.
Archers of Loaf have returned and that's awesome.
Jack White was almost a priest. He would've made an awesome Jesuit.
If you don't watch the Bachelor, you'll be amused by this site.
Con-Air 2? Sure, why not.
James Franco is pretty awesome.
Catch VD? No thanks.
Olivia Munn.
Thoughts on the game:
- First, get off the ledge. Is Jim Boeheim on the hot seat? He just lost to Seton Hall by nearly 30 points at home. Buzz lost by eight to the #5 team in the country. Chill out, people.
- Our defense is, at times, not really good. Way too many easy, easy baskets.
- I loved the defensive effort against Kemba Walker, too bad all that emphasis on him left everyone else open.
- You can't let a visiting team go on a 13-0 run on your home court. Somebody on the team has to step up. Nobody did.
- That officiating crew was jealous of the attention that Burr, Higgins and Hightower get because they were inept as I've seen in a long time. Inconsistent and oblivious.
- JFB did everything he could to take over that game. Unfortunately it wasn't enough.
- Vander and Junior on the floor at the same time isn't good. They're offensive liabilities.
- Vander Blue also shows why recruiting rankings are an overrated crapshoot. Top 50? Really? He eventually could probably be outstanding, but he's not there yet.
- The fact that Syracuse has lost three straight is going to make Saturday's game even more difficult.

Hide Ya Kids...Hide Ya Mama...Dickie Simpkins made me laugh. (Note: ESPN had to edit that clip cause he butchered DJO's name)

Cracked Sidewalks calls MU the choking dogs and wonders if Buzz knows how to use timeouts.
