Boy, did the lads ever butcher that! Quick, somebody play the original Wilbert Harrison version, or even the Fats Domino cover. Incidentally, my sister attended the Beatles concert at Municipal Stadium in KC in 1964. It remains one of the highlights of her teenage years.

Someone should take a bullet and pick Missouri State. This team is making us feel too arrogant. Remember that everyone in the arena who is not wearing red will be cheering against us. Overconfidence is often bad for the karma.

Now bring on the ACC ! I can imagine us winning 8 of the 14 matchups, but it is a real stretch (and that is not sarcasm).

+1 for "puffy" +2 for "what's the frequency, Kearney?".

As long as we are remembering point guards, Nate Johnson deserves a mention.

Basketball is still a team sport and if he leads us to our first NCAA tourney victory/run, he has more than exceeded expectations.

Actually, Parker played a bit like Robbie last night.

What a difference a year can make. Appears that the whole league is playing with a bit of an attitude after last year's "down" perception.

I really like the fact that we seem to be able to play multiple defensive styles well this year. Certainly makes it harder to prepare for a team when scouting. I'm waiting to see what kind of full court press we can throw at someone.

Robbie Benson?

Somebody will have to get Timmy a towel to chew though.

Any chance the Pokes might try to get Keith Brumbaugh to re-enroll?

Depends on what other offers are out there. Certainly Moos has engendered no great loyalty factor to consider.

As always the success of our season will depend upon the one thing which we can not control, i.e. injuries.

23-12 and Tim finally breaks Greg jinx

Huge article on Kent in the LJS this morning. He is approaching his 1000th basketball broadcast and easing his way into "legendary" status. Well deserved,Mr. P. (I'll defer making the link to someone who actually knows how to do it)

And the Sports Illustrated College Basketball issue came out today. Of the 64 reasons to be excited about the season, Nebraska's first NCAA tournament victory was listed #36. And the cover has a photo of Steve Pierce with "Boston's Best :The Red Sox season for the ages" superimposed. Life is good.

I choose Andy over Ross any time.

I believe he ended up stealing something from some big box store at Oklahoma State but I didn't think it was worth looking up so it may have been something I remember from a malaria-induced fever dream.

Wait! I forgot to declare my winnings from last year's HHC Challenge...Oops, never mind.

I am far from being a Bluejay troll but I think this will eventually blow over for all concerned and we shouldn't get too high and mighty about how scrupulously honest we have all been in everything we do. At least anyone crowing about how honest he is should have to show his tax form demonstrating that the money he made from the office pool last year has been properly declared as income.
