It ain't get no better. In case you missed it, the Gooners laid a wet fart on Thursday night - one shot on target AT HOME, and Villareal (with maybe what, 10% of Arsenal's money?) makes their first European final. They'll get Ole's rejuvenated United, who surely gave Mourinho nightmares re his

As y'all may have heard...we had Lesser Footy WWIII this past week. Of course, there are still fixtures this morning (Hammers/Chelski being the highlight, spotlighted at 12:30 on Big Boy NBC)...but there's a turd in the punchbowl, over-powering the flavoUr. DFO's crack(head) team of Lesser enthusiasts tackle the big issues! Hippo

And then there wuz FOUR. Rage on, y'all! 2MW Houston (+5) v. 1S Baylor (5:14, CBS) All Texas early on, but not with the squadrons one is used to seeing. It's been easy to overlook, overshadowed by Gonzaga's dominance, but the JV 500s and Bay-Bay have looked mighty strong, too.
