first joe now bobby...

First things first.

Game time is 4 hours away.

Acela Club is 2.5 hours away.

Can you feel it??? Are you ready???

The line: 19.5 point favorites. Seems a bit high to me. I just want to see Wallace hit a few threes, Roy stay out of foul trouble, and Jeremiah to relax on the unforced turnovers. Let's all try and work on our post passing tonight guys. Thanks.

Missing Bobby: Bobby Knight.

How great is that guy? As fate would have it, it looks like I caught Bobby's last game as a Head Coach in the NCAA Tournament. Texas Tech lost to Boston College in the game that preceeded Georgetown v Belmont. While I don't think Knight's style was for everybody, but it seems as though the vast majority of his guys love him. They also seem to be better off for having played for and learned from the man. I like to place more emphasis on what those people around him have to say as opposed to the people who are just judging him from afar.

One last time...show me that game face baby!


Skins Drama: Yeah let's get the defensive coordinator from the Giants. I mean the G-Men won the most recent game. Snyder needs to strike while the iron is hot. I am sure Steve Spagnuolo will mesh in well with a team that already has a defensive coordinator in place. I'm sure that Spagnuolo was the main reason for the Giants win in the Super Bowl. Or maybe he had a great defensive line that put tons of pressure on Brady without having to call a million blitzes.

Nah. It's probably all Spagnuolo. Let's make that hire.

It's not the coach stupid. It's the guys picking the players and calling the shots. All Hail Vinny and Danny Boy.
