Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Louisville Coach Rick Pitino freaked when the confetti cannons fired off as Louisville won the NCAA Division 1 Men’s basketball tournament.
“The Patriots can catch a matinee screening of “This Is 40.” Remember when Judd Apatow movies were comic gold? That was right around the time George Mason rose to a national prominence and maintained a run as one of the nation’s best mid-major programs. Now, Apatow is throwing together mediocre films based on the characters of his greatest hits. And George Mason’s putting together teams that can compete in the CAA, but are largely irrelevant on a bigger scale. Much like the Apatow movies, where the stars have moved on to bigger and better things, the face of Mason’s success – coach Jim Larranaga – is now down in Miami leading the ACC’s most sneaky-dangerous team.” — Mark Selig (Rushthecourt.net conference checkins)
Sad but true.
CAA 'looking in every direction' for new members | Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Yeager won’t discuss potential candidates, but the strongest basketball additions seem to be in the South. Yeager declined to comment on an ESPN.com report that quoted Southern Conference commissioner John Iamarino as saying Yeager had contacted him about talking to some of his schools, presumably Davidson, the College of Charleston and Appalachian State, a football power.
There also are Coastal Carolina (Big South) in basketball and football, and, at the northern end, Boston University (America East) as a basketball addition.”
As far as basketball is concerned, none of those schools discussed above are like ODU and VCU. CAA will be a dwarf of its former self, if it survives.
George Mason and VCU to the A-10 on May 1…Butler probably…The [New York] Post has learned
Why does Louisville’s Rick Pitino want to schedule FIU (where his son Richard now coaches)?
“I never spanked him as a child, and I want to give him a good spanking.”
Heh
It’s sad to see #24, Ryan Pearson, go.
I look like a dwarf next to Mike Morison, and I’m 5’11”
