Ed McMahon couldn't have set up the 'Buffs vs Beavers' joke better

This post might lure Keefe out of his early Scooptirment.

Hinc est quod crystal ducibus opus novum.

Jim Phillips, who a few months ago was hired away from Northwestern to serve as ACC commissioner, is getting criticized for not making himself available to answer questions about the tenuous state of the ACC tournament.

[MuggsyB]

the farcical use of the main characters last name to depict that he can come to his end more than once and possibly that the dream world and the real world are interconnected.

I don't think there's more to it than that but my insights as solely based on naginiF is just Finigan backwards and not that I'm a literary scholar or Joycean.

Thanks!  I've been told much of it is just JJ writing for kicks and inventing words to amuse himself.  I do know that Joyce was a huge fan of Ibsen.  When he was in high school or college, because he wanted to read or research somthing in one of Ibsen's works, he taught himself Dano-Norwegian.  Hopefully his teachers gave him some extra credit?    I will admit that when I read Aristotle at MU I was not tempted to learn Greek as a hobby and was more interested in Greek cuisine.

Isiah Livers is out indefinitely with a foot injury. That might explain why he has been ineffective the last two weeks and definitely explains why he didn't play in the second half yesterday.

That's a pretty big blow to Michigan's hopes for a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

He's not their most talented player but he's arguably their most valuable player outside Wagner

Also forgot that Oregon State's head coach is Wayne Tinkle.

It looks like Traci will be dancing.  Good for him.

That senior leadership and experience is very valuable.

They really struggled when he was out last year.

Carter is almost old enough to play for the Badgers.

Not good when he gets pissed.

Oh boy.....hopefully Liddell didn't break his wrist.

Looks like hes fine. Think it just sent a shock wave through his arm.

Well, he will be 25 in June.

[MuggsyB]

I guess Liddell is alright.  Wish we had him.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Well, he will be 25 in June.

Well, Trice will be 25 in May.

Wow.  I didn't understand that last offensive possession by Michigan.  Almost an incredible comeback.

Brutal possession.

Delighted for Traci.  Happy for all kids associated with the program who achieve success.

Looked like a play Wojo would draw up.for Markus

Traci went from a school with rich basketball history in a great conference...to a school with some distant basketball history and small recent success in a solid conference...to a school with no history in a terrible conference...and that's where he makes the tourney.  Kind of funny, but great for him making history in Hartford

I live in IL so I couldn't bet it, but if you had the over in Iowa/IL and lost on the waived off 3 at the horn, I feel for ya.

Luckily I figured Illinois -2.5 was a way better bet. Pounded that all alone.

I wonder if one of Iona's long term goals with hiring Rick would be a conference upgrade.  They would be a smallish A10 school, but would be larger than both St. Bonaventure and Davidson. 

Rick is a helluva coach.  Always has been.
