Where Amazing Happens

You've probably been wondering: how does one talk smack to Todd Keithley? Does he even follow sports? Wasn't he in the competition for skinniest thighs in college? Well, tonight I highlight a less well-known team on the McDowHoops radar: the Washington State Cougars. They are on the other side of the state from where Todd grew up, I believe, but I know he is a devoted Pac-10 fan and State of Washington loyalist. UW is no good this year, so Washington's only state university representative in the Big Dance will be the Cougars. So this is the team to pin on Todd. One problem: as it happens, they are a likable team. (Which kills me, because I hate the Pac-10.) Here's some footage from their recent victory over the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-10 tourney. They managed to win despite playing at a very slow speed. I suspect they'll have to pick it up a notch against Stanford tonight, but they'll make the NCAAs regardless. Dramatic, no? But tell me I wasn't the only one at the end thinking: "Washington State... Where Amazing(ly little) Happens"

Howdo,

Just turned in my Kant paper, and am ready to get my smack talking going for this weekend.

I may be of Generation X, but its my sister who know's all about the technology.  I was wondering how I can start my own posts.

Thanks

Catfish

(Think the blog's a great idea to do the smack talk)

For Leslie... Nice job Vols

President's Scholars are a bunch of drunks

... Or at least they should be, if you take the Georgia Tech fight song seriously. They won't make the tourney this year (it's hard to play well with a whiskey flask in your shorts), so I had to get this in before the tourney begins. It's a helluva weird fight song. Boolah boolah!
