At some point early in our game, both SU and Gonzaga will be top 10 teams as there will only be 10 teams left in the tournament.

That's the way I'm looking at it anyways.

Exactly why I always want to be Friday / Sunday guy.

I wore a Gonzaga tee with an SU jacket & hat to hockey this morning. The Philistines I play with didn't even blink. One of them asked me if I was a Duke fan. Honest.

Sometimes I'm so alone ...

None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watch the stars
that tremble with love and with hope!
But my secret is hidden within me;
none will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
that makes you mine!
No one will know his name,
and we will have to, alas, die, die!
Vanish, o night! Set, stars!
Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

Jay Bilas on ESPN arguing for student athlete salaries. He makes good points.

He made some good points. They had some senator arguing against player salaries. I think the NCAA should get rid of the compensation rules. Players should get scholarship plus salary and benefits. If you don't think they are employees you have no concept of college sports. They spend every working hour giving the University value. They should be compensated for it in humble opinion.

I want to use that as an avatar, but we're on a roll, so I'm not changing anything (well, except underwear & socks ...)

The athletes should get modestly paid. By that I mean something like minimum wage, not much more, for the hours they spend practicing, training, playing, probably not traveling or commuting. Similar to what other students make for working in the library or the dining hall. Measures should be taken to make sure compensation is not turned into a competition among schools. Maybe standardize it to 4 hours a day in season, 2 hours a day offseason at a rate set by the NCAA so it is fair and not subject to abuse. Whatever the right number of hours is is fine. Keep it simple and easily enforceable. Something like that.

The Zags are....

 

[NashvilleOrange]

49 minutes in they discuss Syracuse Gonzaga, outside the miss on our previous matchup vs Gonzaga, pretty good discussion.

 

[NashvilleOrange]

36 minutes in preview of the game, not as fun but whatever.

Anything is better than nothing at this point. I was getting more pay with work-study.

"Do you want to just get the Syracuse game out of the way first" lame.

TRUE. The main host is a UVA fan so they built up the whole show up to that point.
