hurrah for basketball season

it is official: today is the first day of practice. woohoo!!!

again, dorrell has dashed any hopes of making football season exciting. so, i look forward to bball season.

i love this quote from gary parrish's article at cbs sportsline:
the first Friday before Oct. 15 has arrived, meaning college basketball teams are allowed to begin practicing without limits, and many are starting with a Madness celebration of some sorts designed to rally fans and impress recruits.

At Memphis, it's Memphis Madness.

At Indiana, it's Hoosier Hysteria.

At Southern Illinois, it's Maroon Madness.

At Kansas, it's Latenight in the Phog.

At UCLA, it's ... well, it's just practice.

"We don't need the hype," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "We've got plenty of hype."

Spoken like a man with 11 national title banners in his arena, not to mention Darren Collison and Kevin Love on his roster. No question, a lack of hype is not an issue for the Bruins, who are a wise pick to make the Final Four for the third consecutive season.


yep, HUGE expectations at pauley. but, what's new?

GO BRUINS!

... and COACH WOODEN -- ADVANCED HAPPY 97th BIRTHDAY!!!! (10.14.07)
