Your “Come, Let Us Celebrate Super Bowl Eve Eve” Friday Night Open Thread

Your Pathetic SBL Update-

-Thomas Davis, he of the broken forearm, told the press remoras that he was lost for words with respect to describing his current condition. After being urged to say something he responded with, “At least it’s not brain damage, as a matter of fact, after I get my injections I feel comfortably numb. I could use a bit more support-mother, I wish you were here”.

-Former difference-maker and current trophy bear-killer Jared Allen will probably play Sunday. Good for him. (can’t remember which team he plays for)

-Remember Derek Anderson? I’ll take that as a “no”. He’s the scout team QB for the Panthers. He’s been yelling OMAHA all over the goddamn place and occasionally drawing the Denver D offside/causing Warren Buffet to have partial erections.

Game-wise the NBA has finally dunked up to the plate (?) and given us some half-decent games. IND/ATL, BOS/CLE and SA/DAL are all of them potentially worthy of your balls-of-eye. The NHL is going skinny tonight after going all pucks-out last night-PIT/TAMPA and ARIZONA/ANAHEIM are the only half-decent watchables. The college ball gives us IVY LEAGUE INSANITY! Did you buy in? No, of course you didn’t. The best game-15-6 Columbia versus 13-5 Yale-isn’t on my ESPN feed. Oh well, at least we’ve got 9-11 Haaaavad and 12-5 Princeton to look forward to at 7pm. I feel compelled to say something about Pete Carrill. He coached Princeton for 29 years and ended up with a .663 winning percentage with non-scholarship players. He couldn’t get games against preemo teams because coaches were deathly afraid of him. Everyone knew that his team was more disciplined than any other team. Back in 1975 when the NCAA tourney had only 32 teams in the field he won the NIT tourney. Check out Princeton’s games against Georgetown and UCLA. If there is a basketball coach out there that had his team reflect his philosophy to a greater degree I’d like to hear about him.
