The Pittsnogle is back for another college season! YES!

pittsnogle_kevin050322

Kevin Pittsnogle- a favorite of these two bloggers- did what many ambitious young college men do these days- declare for the NBA draft to gauge what they have to work on to earn a paycheck in the Association. Kevin couldn't hit his shots but didn't sign with an agent. He is on his way back to the West Virginia campus, where he can again be feted with women, wine, and strangers yelling his last name. Like these two bloggers do. The advice for the summer: drink lots of water, and enjoy your summer, but don't get all Pittsnogled.

Bill Laimbeer is now part of the great media semi-soap that is Isiah's coaching search. I am sure he is calling everyone he knows and asks them "hey... think you can deal with a man who calls himself Starbury? Please? Please?"

For those of us who live in Queens, I suppose we all knew that the doomed West Side Olympic plan would come to our fair low-rise borough, where everything is a little cheaper, and the people are a little more settled. We're okay with that. Williamsburg will get a velodrome and perhaps a pool. Queens will get a much less budget Shea. And Olympians will finally discover the Lemon Ice King of Corona, which will put "World Famous" on the marquee.

But where will the Olympians stay? Please let it be Manhattan. Can Corona handle an Olympic village? They can't handle the people they have NOW.

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
