We've been a little light on the blogging. It's the heavy traffic and the walking to work that does it every time; plus I will not watch the New York Bricks defame the game of basketball. St John's played a good half and stayed in the locker room for the second; the New Jersey Nets are picking up their play;

and I have a link to Quin Snyder singing Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" to his team to hype them up.

Maybe it's just me, and the fact that I think about how I am going to coach a little league team when I move to the near-suburbs, but I wonder what goes through a man's mind when he clowns himself this badly. It sounds awful and the team is just going to laugh about it when he's gone. The singing can't be motivational, with coach's wierd bends and atonal singing. The kids probably don't even know the song!

Quin Snyder, coach of the Missouri Tigers, is on the hot seat. Really, he should have been fired years ago. He has a program that recruits talent and then watches that talent lost not only to Kansas and Illinois, but to Belmont College. Do you know where Belmont is? Neither do I. I think it's in Memphis, or Long Island, or something. I'll go into the list of recruiting eyebrow raises, the accusations of cash exchanging hands, the awful losses, the too higfh rankings...

But before you leave for the holidays, enjoy Quin Snyder singing.

  • 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.
