Random Thoughts While I Enjoy The ESPN Family of Products

- Currently watching the WNBA finals right now between Sacramento and Connecticut. I love how the WNBA has joined boxing and the UFC as the only sports to have their championships decided on the grounds of a casino. Even more, I love how the Maloof brothers are arguing a bad out-of-bounds call. Is this the closest they've come to a championship?

- ESPN.com has a new graphic novel series starting today called "24 College Ave." Go here for the first installment. I've always admired the people at Page 2 for taking chances in their non-sports items, but I'm not so sure about this one. They did have a fiction series a few years ago, following the travails of a California dude with a love of "X-treme" nachos. I'll give it a shot, though. (I do like how the series has its own theme song.)

-TCU and Utah are tied at 17 with 14:09 to go in the 4th. Not sure what to make of the Horned Frogs. They beat Oklahoma IN NORMAN, only to lose to SMU in a "battle for the Iron Skillet." They went 5-6 last year, and looking at their schedule to come, they just might pull off 6 wins. Here's to Texas Christian going to the Poinsettia Bowl!

Your Writers

  • 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.
