Can You Spell F-L-O-P?

I'm sorry, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Dook loss. I started feeling guilty for rooting against the ACC at the end... when there was 1.8 left and I felt pretty confident that, without Christian, the Dookies couldn't pull it out. Boo hoo. Actually, the biggest reason I was disappointed with the Dook loss was because it added a loss on my bracket. And, please believe me when I say I really truly DID have VCU in my original submission. Changed it just this morning... at the last minute when I thought... ugh, no matter how much I'd like it to happen, it's just not likely to. But it did. *snicker*snicker*snicker*

I nearly peed my pants when I saw this during the Dook loss. (Apologies for the crappy vid quality... it's recorded on my digicam from the TV... so it's pretty decent given that!) Greg Paulus demos lesson #1 on day #1 at Dook b-ball camp:


Did you see him lean in? C'mon, watch it again. It gets better the more times you play it. LOL! Watch how he falls, how his neck bends when he feels the slightest bit of contact, the lean-into-it movements just prior to falling over, the dead-weight feet hitting the floor after the fall. Man... that is hilarious. How could anyone not think so?!

Meanwhile, Carolina... thanks for the mini-panic attack during the 30-9 Eastern Kentucky run. Phew. Wouldn't it be just like a team of mine to be the first #1 seed ever to go down in their first game?! Luckily, they pulled it out & made it a decent 1v16 win for us. And Dick E. gave us a Maddenesque quote worthy of blogging: "That was like dogs going after a pork chop. ... First one there eats first." Oh, Dick, you're so dang funny.
