As a service to you, Page 2's Graham Hays and Eric Neel were back for the second day of the NCAA Tournament.
Graham was stuck front of a bank of tubes in snowy Bristol and Eric was stuck on his couch in his stompin' grounds in northern California. Their Tournament Blog was your eyes and ears for all the early action while you were glued to a cubicle typing up TPS reports.
5:06
GH: Still waiting for someone to join Manhattan in the 11-16 seed winners. Will it happen tonight?
EN: What's your best guess for an evening upset? I'll take Louisville and Illinois-Chicago.
GH: I love UIC as well. And I'm keeping an eye on Central Florida.
5:03
EN:Much better afternoon than morning, eh G? I've got the love back.
GH: Absolutely. Between Tim Smith, ETSU and Northern Iowa's comeback, I'm drained. It's almost enough to make you forget Utah-BC.
And there's a whole weekend of this still to come.
EN: Like yesterday, a lot of near misses for Cinderellas. Still, great stuff.
4:59
EN:Vandy is burying WMU. Another sexy upset pick shrivels up and dies.
Final: Vandy, 71-58.
Smith got inside again, but ... misses a tough layup and ETSU misses two putbacks.
What are the odds Tim Smith makes an appearance in the "One Shining Moment" video this year?
GH: I'm saying even money.
Game over: Cincy moves on.
EN: I'll take that. And until then, I'll miss him.
4:58
EN: Bobbit has looked crazy confident all game. Fantastic shot -- 3 from the corner. Cincy, 80-77, 13 seconds left.
GH: Which sets the stage for Tim Smith ...
4:56
EN: Before this ETSU game ends, can anyone explain what happened to their Bucanneer mascot? Why the blue face?
ETSU/Cincy is everything Utah/BC wasn't: guys diving, running, making plays, playing hungry.
GH: And blue mascots.
EN: Is he sick? Is it scurvy? Did he eat a bad dog at halftime?
Tie game, 40.9 seconds left. Cincy has the ball.
4:54
EN: See, they end up with a shot fading away, with a guy in Jacobson's face. Bad strategy. Bad day for kids named Jacobson. Tech wins, 65-60.
4:52
GH: What, just because Tech missed the front end and N. Iowa has a chance to tie?
EN: UNI had numbers and open looks in transition, but they called a timeout with seconds to go to set up a 3. Bad move against a bigger, stronger team.
4:49
GH: Luke Schenscher going for the rare double-double of all-name and all-hair teams as G.Tech ices a hard-fought win over N. Iowa.
EN: Don't speak too soon, G. UNI hits a 3 to pull within three with 21 seconds to go.
4:48
GH: Game of the Year, it's that simple. Maxiel's dunk, Smith's brilliance, just an amazing game.
EN: While we're watching the Smith show, Vandy has gone up four on Western Michigan.
GH: And you owe me something on OSU winning by 19.
EN: Will you settle for my undying respect?
4:44
GH: Bracket busters all over the place, as N. Iowa hits a 3-pointer to cut it to two with two minutes left. Paul Hewitt is wishing he was back in Loudonville, NY at Siena.
EN: At this moment, scholarships, size, and publicity be damned, Tim Smith is the best college basketball player in the country.
4:43
GH: By the way, is Iowa really big enough, or populated enough, to need directional schools?
EN: If West Virginia can be its own state, UNI can be a university, don't you think?
GH: I don't think we should be setting precedents based on West Virginia ... for anything.
E, so is the West Coast getting the Cincy game now?
EN: Yeah, I'm digging listening to Dick Enberg call out Brad Knuckles' name on layups and stuff. It's like watching an episode of Dick Tracy.
GH: They ought to throw up the "WOW" and "BAM" Batman graphics for Tim Smith.
4:41
EN: Tim Smith is making me forget Jerry McNamara.
GH: Wow, questionable charge on Cincy's Nick Williams. If ETSU starts getting the calls down the stretch, it might just be their day. ETSU takes the lead .. and Cincy answers with a 3 to tie it ... ETSU scores inside ...73-71, 5 minutes left.
4:40
GH: First game coming down to the wire, as Northern Iowa missed an opportunity to cut it to three with three to play.
Smith hits a J for ETSU ... Cincy leads 68-66 with 6-something left.
4:34
EN: Cincy's zone is vicious. ETSU is busting tail to find the cracks and gaps.
The great thing about Smith is that he knows this is his moment and he's having fun with it. No regrets.
GH: And you gotta love a coach who can build a coherent team around a free spirit like that.
EN: Question for Bob Huggins: What, a shirt and tie woulda killed ya?
GH: If Huggins and Billy Donovan played a first-round game, would anyone win?
EN:If they played Lute Olson.
4:26
GH: Meanwhile, the upset everyone predicted is working out that way. Western Michigan up three on Vandy. Will All-SEC F Matt Freije pull a Nick Jacobson, or will he turn it on down the stretch? (2-5, 7 pts so far)
4:23
GH: East Tennessee State-Cincy is turning into a heavyweight bout. The Bucs are sticking around because they're beating the Bearcats to the glass and killing them on D.
ETSU takes their first lead on an amazing lay-up by Tim Smith. The kid is a highlight reel. He's pulling out moves Rafer Alston wouldn't dream of trying in a game.
4:20
GH: Georgia Tech seems to have remembered that they're bigger, stronger and quicker than Northern Iowa. The "bludgeon" approach is underated in these early-round games. Not pretty, but it works.
EN: If more than one of these games goes down to the wire, the NCAA should take some heat for their timing of the game starts: we'll see only seconds of the finishes out here in the real world.
4:16
GH: Meanwhile, Tech has seen a 17-point lead trimmed to one. Tough to do with 14 minutes left in the second half.
EN: OK State is running now, and it turns out, um, they're faster.
GH: They prize endurance over sprints in Cheney.
ETSU completes the comeback, tying it at 47 on a put-back. They're going to keep running all game. And unlike EWU-OSU, I'm not sure Cincy is faster.
EN: Things are getting ugly in a hurry for the Eagles. .
4:13
GH: Apparently so, but a 3-pointer to cut the lead to four rims out for N. Iowa. Those are the kind of shots fans remember forever, but nobody sees in the box scores.
EN: Bad development in the EWU-Ok State game: the Eagles are going slow in the halfcourt set. That'll kill them.
GH: East Tennessee State had 40 points in the first half -- none from their bench. Think the starters might wear down against Cincy's pressure?
EN: It's a strategy thing. They're about to let their bench loose like a bunch of wild dogs. Cincy'll never know what hit them.
GH: Tim Smith might be the most exciting player you'll never see if ETSU loses. He isn't always in control and he doesn't always put up good shots, but his end-to-end run and swipe from behind against Cincy's James White was tremendous.
Wild dogs mauling Bearcats? Is this an ASPCA-approved blog?
EN: We go where the muse takes us and we fear no reprisals. That's the kind of blog it is.
GH: For every player who ever questioned why a coach was making them run lines, Smith just essentially ran a "suicide" on that one play. End result? ETSU 3-pointer.
And just like that: EWU is down 10.
4:05
GH: GA Tech and the O.C. ready to get things going again in Milwaukee.
Northern Iowa settled an internal squabble about who gets to take the head cheerleader to the prom and helped two friends with substance abuse problems, but did they figure out a way to keep Tech off the glass?
Tech leads 39-32, 17:46 left.
4:02
EN: All right, G, it's dare time: If Eastern Washington wins, what will you do? Shave your head? Enroll in summer school in Cheney? Name your first-born Eagle?
GH; I'll stay at work longer than the final buzzer of the afternoon games?
EN: I don't care what anyone says about you, you're hardcore.
GH: But the betting here is that OSU still wins by double digits.
EN: I'll take that.
3:56
GH: And now for a live look-in, we take you to ... Cialis.
3:51
GH: All four games at halftime. Isn't the NCAA usually better at staggering than a college kid on a Saturday night? I don't remember all the games hitting halftime at essentially the same time before today.
3:49
EN: EWU keeps pushing and pushing. They've got the Cowboys back on their heels. If they don't pass out in the locker room, or lose their nerve, we're in for a fun second half.
GH: East Tennessee State just sounds like an upset waiting to happen and they're making things exciting against Cincy. Teams that press don't like to be pressed and ETSU is frustrating the Bearcats
Only Georgia Tech is pulling away, could we be headed for more afternoon madness?
A 3-pointer at the buzzer on a beauty of a step-back from Tim Smith says ETSU is sticking around, down 5 at the half.
3:44
EN: Another reader writes in with Sean May of UNC, son of Scott May. I'm going to say that's nowhere near Henry and Mike Bibby. I do like the chance to think of Scott May, however.
GH: Any Hoosier is a good Hoosier.
EWU and OSU tied at 36 at the half.
3:41
EN: And Lauren from St. Louis reports that Brent Barry never played in NCAA Tournament with Oregon State.
By the way: EWU and OSU tied 34-34 with 50 seconds left. This is a #15 vs. #2, kids ...
3:36
EN: Some nominations: Wally Szczerbiak, Mike Dunleavy Jr. (did his dad play in the Tournament?), Mike Bibby. Henry (star at UCLA) and Mike appear to be the early leaders over Bill/Luke Walton.
And EWU takes the lead on a fourteen-bounce three-pointer from Axton from the top of the key. The gods are on giving David a little love right now.
3:30
GH: Georgia Tech's Clarence Moore is a clear contender for the all-hair team. The dreads with the headband is always a winner.
Florida fan Michael Reed turned off the gas oven long enough to write in and point out Cincy's James White is a Florida transfer. So ETSU's rally should start any minute.
EN: Eastern Washington, for those of you not familiar with the dry side of the state, is in Cheney, Wash. Incorporated in 1883, the town of Cheney was named after Benjamin P. Cheney, chairman of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Located south of Spokane off Interstate 90 in eastern Washington, the town boasts "50 lakes within 50 miles." Now you know.
GH: And has nothing whatsoever to do with the Vice President, Halliburton or other generally shady business dealings.
EN: Ouch, the Nelson kid for EWU just did something ugly to his left shoulder ... He's shaking it off, though. That's the Cheney way. ... EW just hits a 3 to tie 23-23 with just under 6 minutes left.
3:25
EN: Is John Lucas III the best son of a former star to ever play in the tournament? After Danny Schayes, of course ...
Readers? Anybody out there? Who am I forgetting?
GH; How about the Walton boys?
EN: Good call.
GH: Scooter Barry was decent ... well, he played for Kansas at least.
EN: Jon Barry was better. Did Brent Barry play in the tourney is the question?
GH: Kareem's kid might have been the worst son of a former star ...
Readers? Click here if you have an answer to the above question.
3:19
EN: In other matters: Is Gene Hackman doing the voice-over for Lowe's Home Center ads? Am I hearing that right? Does he need the work?
GH: Back to the Vandy game, Western Michigan is finding it really tough to get a hand in the face of the shooter when the shooter is 7-2. How about a hand in the torso?
EN: Eastern Washington has 7 offensive boards to OK State's 2. A little thing called want-to, boys and girls.
GH: I'd forgotten about commercials. God, I love satellite feeds.
3:17
GH: Northern Iowa is hanging with Georgia Tech early, despite a starting lineup that looks like it's lifted from the cast of the O.C. It's boy-band basketball. Sadly, Mischa Barton is not among the cheerleaders.
Oklahoma State up 14-10. Good thing Eastern has a kicker with range outside 40 yards.
EN: The O.C. in Iowa? You just made those kids' days.
OK-State vs. Eastern Washington, this is like the 4H Bowl.
GH: There may be frisbee steers at halftime.
3:15
GH: Especially if Oklahoma State tries to break out those football pads again. Eastern Washington can handle the 2-3, but the Cover 2 is going to baffle them
EH: Plus, I don't think their scrappy point can handle the blitz. One or two knockdowns and he's all in his head.
GH: Cincy and ETSU may put up more points in the first half than BC and Utah did all game. Well, at least Cincy.
And over on one of the ESPN International feeds, some team with the initials BOC is beating ACE by 14 with six minutes to play. Gerry McNamara has eight 3-pointers.
3:06
GH: Oh hey, East Tennessee State is from the Southern Conference. So we do have all four directions covered with Western Michigan, Eastern Washington, Northern Iowa and the Southern Conference. Karma has been achieved.
EN: I'm pretty sure Eastern Washington is a Juco, and their kids are going to be transferring to Cincy next year.
3:03
EN: I'm saying he's not aging at all. I'm saying he once drank a magic potion or made a deal with the devil or maybe, and this is the way I'm leaning, is an alien.
GH: Bob Huggins is apoplectic -- that's angry for you Cincy grads -- after watching East Tennessee State go on a 6-0 run. He's recruiting new JUCO players out of the stands as we speak.
EN: Eastern Washington is trying to run with Oklahoma State, which is crazy. I love crazy.
3:01
GH: Western Michigan tipping against Vandy in the upset everyone is picking. Then again, we've all seen the People's Choice Awards before.
EN: Eddie Sutton looks great, by which I mean, he looks exactly the same at 68 as he did at 58 and 48 and 38. Pained, scruffy, urgent, and of an indeterminant age.
GH: So you're saying he's aging well.
Vandy has a 7-2 guy with 3-point range and a name I don't want to type. This game could be fun.
2:57
GH: Cincy looking to become the first No. 4 seed to cover the spread before the first TV timeout. 9-0 and we're not even two minutes in.
EN: Yeah, but ETSU has a guy doing the T-shirt under the jersey thing, so they've got the Ewing magic working.
GH: Wait, is that related to the Ewing Theory? Because I think Bill Simmons may have copyright over that one.
2:55
GH: East Tennessee State's team is shorter than an Adam Sandler movie. Cincinnati looks huge next to these guys.
EN: Not that it matters, but I was once turned down for a job at Southen Utah.
GH: Point guard? School president?
2:53
EN: All right, here goes ETSU and Cincy ...
GH: Hey, all four afternoon games have directional schools. Kind of nifty. Too bad they had to double up on Easterns, but blame it on Southern Utah.
2:46
EN: Back from lunch. Today's lunch, by the way, is old school: Taco Bell burrito supreme.
GH: Oh lord, you're going to make it through the afternoon slate with that in your gut?
EN: Well, that and a Pepsi the size of a hot tub.
2:28
EN: So none of these games are really close in the end, but that's more than made up for by the fact that none of the winners looked impressive in getting their W, either.
2:24
GH: BS is projecting NC State as the winner with a nine-point lead and 17 seconds left, showing them advancing in the bracket. Where is Dan Rather?
Isn't that a dangerous thing to do in Florida?
EN: I hate the way the eastern media announces results before we in the west have a chance to get to the polls.
GH: Better warm up the soft-shoe routine, E. These games are all wrapping up at about the same time.
2:21
EN: That pass to the guys on the bench is a loophole move. There's nothing in the official rule book that actually says they can't shoot from there.
GH: Which was Chris Ford's plan all along. Allen Iverson just misunderstood.
EN: Jacobson finishes 3-17 from the floor and 2-12 from beyond the stripe. When the Utes had a chance, when Drisdom got them close, they showed no imagination and went back to a very cold Jacobson. Final: BC 58, Utah 51.
2:19
GH: Needing a bucket, ULL guard Brad Boyd throws a pass to two wide-open Cajuns. Unfortunately, both are on the bench. Too many missed opportunities against an unimpressive Wolfpack
EN: Shot clock violation?! Shot clock violation? The 50 Cent clearly did more than affect their feet.
2:16
EN: Utah blew it having Jacobson try to create for himself. Drisdom to the rack is what's gotten them back in it.
BC misses the FT, so Utah gets the ball back and ... calls another TO. Meanwhile, NC State lead ULL by 7 with 1:18 left. What do you say, GH?
2:13
EN: Question: If you're down 3 with under 2 minutes to play, why are you milking the shot clock? Oh, right, you're Utah.
Craig Smith inside for BC. 54-51, 1:05 left. Just enough time for Utah to get a shot off.
GH:: Dirty tricks. BC takes a 3-point lead on a put-back after about three offensive rebounds. Someone put on a 50 Cent disc near the court and Utah's players forgot how to move.
2:12
GH: Meanwhile, NC State and ULL are picking up the slack for a suddenly-exciting BC-Utah game. Over here, it's 49-40 with 2:50 left. ULL is shooting 27 percent today. So yes, they're pulling a Kucinich.
GH: Utah's Nick Jacobson trying to go for the four-point play. That's three points for the shot and a bonus point for degree of difficulty. Of course, he missed everything.
BC up 1 with 1:48 left.
2:07
EN: All the smack we've been talking about the Utah-BC game and it's going to provide the only drama of the morning. Provided, that is, you find a race between two lines of molasses to see which drips off the table and on the floor first dramatic.
BC leads 52-49 with 3:27 left.
2:02
GH: Julius Hodge lost his shoe on defense and ULL opted not to get the ball to his man, instead passing it around the outside before turning it over. Small things matter.
Although with the glare coming off Hodge's red kicks, placing them at strategic locations around the court isn't a bad idea.
EN: Is it the shoes? It's gotta be the shoes! Speaking of which, Utah's slow kicks are kicking some butt right now. 47-47. That's right, I'm psyched about a 47-47 game. 5 minutes left.
1:56
GH: It's still early but after yesterday, this first round of games has a definite "Matrix Reloaded" feel to it.
1:52
EN: Tim Drisdom, Utah's point, finally gets it: He's pushing the ball up the floor and dribble-penetrating the BC defense. The game is still there for the taking -- BC up 45-38, 10 minutes left.
And Drisdom hits a 3! 45-41 ... I can't believe I'm saying this, but Here Comes Utah!
GH: I just figured out why the Ragin' Cajuns can't win ... they have a Florida transfer. No way they're getting out of the first round. NC State is up 7 with 8:30 left.
1:43
EN: Nick Jacobson, Utah's leading scorer, finally hit his first ... and now second buckets. But BC leads, 39-30.
GH: I'd say Jacobson is now a man on a mission, but that's kind of dangerous with these Utah guys.
EN: There ought to be a style requirement in the Tournament. If you play too ugly you lose points. Of course, in the BC/Utah game, that might end up in a 0-0 tie.
1:36
EN: Utah should have come out of the lockerroom aggressively, but they look slow on defense early in the second half.
GH: Utah looks slow driving 80 on the highway.
GH: The good news is ULL is down just eight despite shooting about 6 percent from behind the arc. The bad news is they're shooting about 6 percent from behind the arc.
EN: I like that: "about 6 percent." You're rounding up, right? It's really 5.7%, ain't it?
GH: I just happened to know it because 5.7% is what I usually tip
EN: After those nice folks at the Bristol campus caf provided soup and sandwich? That ain't right ...
1:32
EN: Hookah, that's the East Tennessee State mascot, isn't it?
GH: Also the unoffical mascot of Murray State.
EN: Hey, there is actually basketball on again, ULL trying to stay close in the first five minutes of the second half. Down 37-28.
1:26
EN: All games at halftime simultaneoulsy? This is like the harmonic convergence. I'll be back, I have to go light my incense and pray to the sun god.
GH: If that's some sort of metaphor for going to the bathroom, I'm doing the same thing.
EN: It's a metaphor for enlightenment, brother. Get your spirit house in order.
EN: By the way, are we eligible to win the Billy Packer Trivia Challenge? erock says:
GH: Is Phil Martelli eligible to win?
EN: Everyone's eligible for enlightenment, man.
GH: I think you're flashing back to 1978 again. Put down the hookah.
1:20
GH: I just had a reader email about Hofstra's nickname. First off, people are reading this? Second, Bryan Mayer of Long Island says they're no longer the Dutch. Instead, they're the "Pride"
Another innocent victim of the Dutch cartel.
EN: Ragin' Pride doesn't have the same ring to it, though.
GH: Actually, that's kind of fitting for NYC. Although Ragin' Cabbies would get my vote. Pride? What's the logo look like? A big puffed-up chest?
EN: So offending the Dutch wasn't enough for you, you had to get the good people of New York and the cabbies union into it, too?
1:14
EN: What the announcer said, with BC leading Utah 29-20 at halftime: "Boston College's defense has been outstanding." What the announcer meant: "Can somebody please get me a double espresso and some tape for my eyelids?
GH: Wait until he starts talking about it being a battle of attrition.
And Can we all agree that cursive writing just looks tacky on the court? Come on Kansas City, you're better than that. Get George Toma in here between games and give him a can of paint.
South Carolina has now been on defense for approximately 18 of 20 minutes in the first half.
EN: George Toma would do the floor in turf wouldn't he? Then maybe Utah and BC could play football instead. At least the points would come in bunches that way.
1:11
EN: peaking of Rik Smits, are you getting a look at this Frost kid for Utah?
GH: I'm actually experiencing the pain felt by so many fans, with just three TVs for four games. And after not getting much sleep, I was afraid to put one of them on BC-Utah.
Does he in any way resemble Greg Ostertag?
EN: With all the air let out, maybe.
GH: And just like that, Illinois pulls out to a 35-23 lead. Last call for Murray State jokes.
1:09
EN: Great, now you've opened us up to angry letters from the Dutch. Our lawyers are already tied up with the Liberty University folks we offended yesterday.
GH: Don't forget the folks at Sizzler.
GH: Murray State is hanging right with Illinois, thanks to typical OVC 3-point shooting. All this despite not having their second-leading scorer. But don't feel bad for the kid, he's getting a try-out next week from the Trail Blazers.
1:03
GH: How did Speedy Claxton choose Hofstra over Murray State? "Speedy Racer" would have been a national icon.
EN: Seventeen bonus points for remembering Claxton was a Hofstra man. Six more if you know Hofstra's mascot without having to look it up.
GH: Dutchmen!
EN: You mean Ragin' Dutchmen, don't you?
GH: Right, those Dutch are a fiery people.
EN: Just look at Rik Smits.
1:00
GH: This BC-Utah game is ugly -- 20-10 with 5 minutes left. No way I'm ripping it, though -- I put my entire savings account on the under line. '45' seemed way too high for these teams.
EN: I think it's impressive the way BC and Utah are saving their offensive show for the second half, making sure late-arrivers don't miss anything.
GH: I don't know. I think their show is pretty offensive right now. Disgusting, in fact.
GH: Illinois doing its best to continue the Big 10 performance begun by Michigan State, losing by four with six left in the first half
EN: Best ever Murray State Racer? Popeye Jones, baby.
12:54
GH: N.C. State appears a little disappointed they have to play a team that puts up more of a fight than Clemson.
EN: Maybe if Clemson added "Ragin'" to their mascot name ...
GH: You know who needs a Ragin? Manhattan. What's scarier than a Ragin Jasper?
12:50
EN: Utah and BC have come to some non-offensive detente: 4-4 with 13 minutes to go in the half.
GH: Princeton and Air Force would be proud.
EN: Look out, BC just scored. There's no way Utah can let that kind of aggression stand.
GH: In other news, Gerry McNamara hit four 3-pointers at Syracuse's team breakfast this morning.
EN: Just curious here, but is Rajun Cajun considered an offensive nickname, or are we OK with this? Has anyone checked with Paul Prudhome on this?
EN: A lot of people don't know this, but the team is actually named for hot sauce.
12:40
GH; Did the NCAA really think having teams playing in Orlando as part of the "Phoenix Bracket" would sound less disconcerting than "West," because I'm not buying it. Not to mention, this is going to screw up geography class for a whole host of middle schoolers.
EN: I thought it was Orlando, Arizona.
GH: ULL out to an early lead against Utah, but one of their forwards just slipped through a crack in the floor. That's going to be tough to overcome.
12:36
GH: Murray State still hasn't scored with nearly four minutes gone in the first half, but they may be saving a surprise for Illinois. I'm expecting half the team to jump out of a closet at some point in the game.
EN: By the way, Graham, what's on the lunch menu today?
GH: The ESPN cafe is treating me well with vegetarian lentil soup and ham and cheese sandwich. No hunger pains today ... although those pains yesterday may have been related to Wake Forest's performance.
EN: What's with the numbers on the Utah jerseys? They look taped on.
GH: Game I'm most anticpating this afternoon? Memphis and SC should be good, but I think Utah could surprise a lot of people against BC. Classic East Coast bias game. What about you, E?
EN: It's still early out here: I just dusted off a bowl of instant oatmeal. Rib-sticking sustenance for the day ahead.
Utah guys are gangly, all elbows and long reaches. Playing them is like fighting a southpaw; it's hard to find your rhythm. Plus, they're playing for Rick, so they get the sentimental mojo working for them, too.
12:34 ET
GH: I feel their pain, Eric. There is a big sale at Filene's today and I was trying to find an excuse to get out of coming to work and doing this blog.
EN: There's a Filene's in Bristol? I had no idea?
EN: Mike Gminski is doing color on the Utah/BC game. I'm lost in a sea of 1978 memories.
GH: You have memories from 1978? You must be old.
EN: Most of them are painful, but yes.
12:30 ET
Graham Hays: I'm not sure what the meal plan is down at Louisiana Lafayatte, but these kids need a refund. Or a visit from BALCO.
Eric Neel: Those of us who are, shall we say, "wiry," have some new heroes.
GH: Hey, did anyone else see Murray State introduce the team's defense attorney when the starting lineups were announced?
EN: One thing has troubled me in these early games: empty seats. Where are the die-hards with excuses for the boss at the ready?
