A few thoughts

- How has Phil Martelli never progressed into a nice Big East or Big Ten coaching gig. Seems like a great guy, a knowledgeable teacher & coach, and the kind of coach your fan base would be proud to support. St Joe's is lucky to have him.
- Jon Scheyer era - no thanks, just graduate or something.
- The most falsified stat line in the history of the NCAA is Sean Williams with 7 blocks against the Maryland Terrapins in December 2006. He was closer to 27 blocks than 7. My best guess is 19 blocks.
- Is Tom Brady still "Probable: Shoulder" even coming out of a bye week. Maybe I'll look this week.
- The Eagles need Jo-Lonn Dunbar and we need him now.
- Losing or winning vs Maryland actually didn't make a difference in getting to the Orange Bowl. If BC beat Maryland and Miami (11/24) and lost to Clemson, they'd be sitting home. If they beat Clemson, but lose to Miami in addition to losing to Maryland, they're in the ACC Championship Game. The kicker is that if they technically finish 2nd or 3rd in the league, they'll be chosen 5th or 6th in the pecking order. That loss could be the difference between Peach Bowl and Boise.
- Tony Allen, Brian Scalabrine, Eddie House, James Posey, etc are all playing pretty good basketball. Lets hope the team doesn't become too star-centric as the season goes on. Success will come from utilizing role players.
- Is Miami (OH) and Akron playing for the 2nd straight night right now? Is this Deja Vu? I thought I saw them playing last night.
- Matt Ryan fell off the Heisman radar pretty quickly. Thank god BC lauched that lame Mattyice.com site.

its weird becuase we are notorious for giving guys triple doubles with blocks. Marcus Camby, Jelani McCoy, Brendan Haywood i think all got trip doubs w/ 2 boards.

i wanted the Zards to draft him last year and i still wish we did.

Belichick was asked about "Probable: Shoulder" last week on the big show. They said in jest "Is Tom still injured with the shoulder?" And he laughed to himself and said, "yea, we have to get that checked out."

note to rivers and maybe our one other blog reader: he has been on the injured list as "probable, shoulder" for maybe 5 years running, every single week.
