The Three pronged Threat
With a tribute to the triple threat master...Yes, Stevie Nash is balling tonight, and I have to get seated. I also can't believe that I'm that excited about the Playoffs again...In the meantime, check out these tidbits that hit all three of our categories...
***Al McGuire is chuckling with this one...Check out this controversy that's brewing in Milwaukee from Robert Andrew Powell of the New York Times...I fully understand the racial implications that stem from naming a team mascot that have American Indian overtones...Righfully so, the days of the Stanford Indians, Dartmouth Indians and the St. John's Redmen have gone away...(Even more so, I understand the logos)...That's why I can listen to the against Chief Wahoo and the Screaming Brave logo of the Atlanta Braves.
Yet, hasn't the moniker "Warrior" developed enough that it is honoring American Indian heritage?
Whether you like it or not, if you're termed a 'Warrior', it generally connotates a solid characteristic or quality that one may have. With that said, how about satisfying both factions by going with the Marquette "Golden Warriors".
P.S. I agree the "Marquette Gold" is lame-oh...
***You know that we've been big fans of skype...Hell, the labratz are Skyping late night hippie folk tunes to each other, but I guess you could say that Yahoo!'s adjustments have hit the mainstream. Check out today's USA Today article by Edward Baig.
Yahoo's IM products are pretty strong now. Not only can you stream video very well, but you now can be able to exchange voice content as well as Skype. I also dig the emoticons...They're actually a lot of fun...Yet, one advantage Skype still has is that you're able to call a regular phone. I'm sure they're working on this as we speak.
Give it up for the gang at Yahoo! They're stepping up to the plate big-time...(Note: AOL, you choked when you blasted out my seven year-old username you chuckleheads...I never would have given YahooMessenger a thought...You suckas.)
***I guess I had to hear it via Dan Frost of 'SFGate, but it's tough to see the world's most expensive piece of real estate go private, but today is the official day for LucasArts to open up in San Francisco's Presidio. No more motorcycle lessons for you in that parking area there!
Of course, was it really that open of an area when it was a base?..So, get off it.
***Carolina fans stop whining that Duke has landed Jon Scheyer and Gerald Henderson Jr., and the your ranks are depleted for next year....
Line up your backcourt with four out of five McDonald's All-Americans, who will likely be there for three to four years, and any coaching staff would drool over your line-up...Check out the UNC backcourt in 06/07...Bobby Frasor, Tywan Lawson, Marcus Ginyard, Danny Green, and possibly top 2007 shooting guard, Wayne Ellington, who visits Chapel Hill this weekend. Sorry, but if Carolina lands Ellington, there's not a backcourt rotation that will neither be able to go as deep nor be as talented as the Tar Heel backcourt...Period.
And yes...I'm saying it...By 2007/08, this backcourt rotation may be the best to ever play at North Carolina.
Triple Threat + One,

i don't know, brett. in my experience, the higher the hype surrounding the incoming freshman class of ballers, the lower their performance level. usually, it is the team you think will stink it up, that takes to the hole and sticks it to the dookies. but what do i know? i don't really follow the sports.
Nice to know that you have the "ear" of these high school recruits! So you been to philly lately ?
just wondering,
I will be heading to Philly in a couple of weeks...I'll give you a report on what's going down with that trip shortly.
Peace,
IronDog
