Look I know it was only South Florida, but last night’s attendance was ridiculous. The blame goes on both the students and the “regular” fans. I shudder to think what it might look like on Wednesday Feb 27 vs St. John’s when the tip time is a very unusual 9pm. I guess the students don't really realize how good they have it. Having personally attended a university with small time basketball, I would hope to see students at a university with big time basketball appreciate it just a tad bit more. Oh well.
The Hoyas played about as well as the crowd showed up. They went down 13-3 in a matter of minutes as they seemed rather disinterested with their lowly opponents. Jonathan Wallace is officially started to scare me, a little. In case you were wondering they came back to win by 10 in an U-G-L-Y affair. Summers scored the first 11 points for the Hoyas as he set a career high with 24. Sapp also had a pretty good night going 3-4 from downtown. Roy changed his undershirt at halftime. I wish I hadn't noticed that but I did. I mean he was wearing a regular t-shirt and then he went with the cutoff. What more can I say?
Ash Wednesday: I think I need to get a playlist of easy listening music or something because when I rolled up to church this afternoon I’m not sure I should have been blasting The Chronic by Dr. Dre. Something about that just isn’t right. Another thing that I have a problem with is leaving Church. I mean we were all just together for an hour trying to learn a little bit about making better moral decisions and possibly thinking a bit more about who you want to be right? Two minutes after it’s all over you have people in the parking lot not letting you out of your space because they are in such a huge hurry. Is it really that hard to be nice so soon after Church? I can see forgetting a few hours down the line because we live in an age where one hour ago might as well have been 10 years ago, but not immediately.
Big East: Hoyas still sit at the top at 9-1 but just a little bit below them are the UConn Huskies (6-3). They have a huge game with Syracuse (6-4) tonight. I really don’t ant to admit I am rooting for the Orange, but let’s just say I wouldn’t be heartbroken if they failed to lose tonight.
National Pride: I am a big fan of people putting their hand over their heart for the National Anthem. Not saying you have to do it, or should do it, but I think its cool. Nothing gets my national pride going like the National Anthem at a US soccer game. Standing in Sam’s Army everybody pretty much sings the Anthem as well. Tonight we have the ultimate “Friendly” as the Yanks take on Mexico. While the game is being played in the states (Houston), I highly doubt US fans will make up anymore than 25%.
I'd like to see Adu get a chance to play at least 45 minutes in the midfield. Not the wing. Can you hear me Bob???
