I keep thinking . . . Wallace's shot was the one Sleepy would have made to beat Carolina, if he'd had the chance.

I give my wife a 9 (she doesn't rate a ten only because the beer fridge is far away from the TV). The bigger issues are my 4 year old daughters. They yell "Hoya Saxa" when prompted and like Jack the Bulldog. But they also give me disapproving looks when I yell at the TV.
HOYA SAXA, ladies and gentlemen.

In 87 I remember listening to a staticky Armed Forces radio broadcast saying that the favored Hoyas lost to Providence in the regional final.
In 89, I was living in Durham NC and watched as the favored Hoyas lost to Duke in the regional final.
Carolina's good, no doubt. But they're mortal. I'm glad we're the underdog.

Oh well. At least he can write another valentine to Duke talking about its magnificent performance this season. Oh. . . wait. . . never mind.

CO, the highlights are terrific. Thanks for posting. Here in Chicago, CBS pulled away from the game with 30 secs. left and we spent an enjoyable 5 minutes watcing the officials try to reset the clock in the VCU game. In the interim, the Hoyas won, or so I understood, as I had no visual proof until I saw your highlights.
CBS' handling of this is a disgrace.
And, DFW, I've always understood that Chicago is in the Midwest and Iowa is in the Midwest. Texas is in, well, Texas.
Hoya Saxa, all.

Stifling D. A dominant big man. A BE Championship in New York. Anybody been in Healy Basement? What's the line like at the Pub?

Frank, congratulations on the arrival of little FB Jr. You're right kids are great (so great, we had twins). Careful on drinking and infant-care. Diaper changing and hangovers do NOT mix.
Can't help you on the video camera, although Mrs. Wilson Blvd Hoya is a whiz in this area, and the resource to which I always turn.

The 1982 Championship game is on ESPN Classic right now. What a team. We should have won.

I concur with DFW and Boz. Satellite radio is money well spent. I went with XM for a couple of reasons. First, at the time I signed up, XM was a couple of bucks a month cheaper than Sirius (although they have equalized now). Second, XM has major league baseball, and to me, baseball is the sport best suited to radio.
I can't compare the music programming on XM v Sirius, although I have been impressed with the breadth of XM's programming -- 3 classical stations, a bluegrass station, a folk station, the afore-mentioned Lucy Fred and Ethel. Sirius may be just as good -- I can't say.
A cool feature of the XM receiver is that it will show the score and inning of any game you are listening to. Handy if you have other things to do and just want a quick update.

Let me lend a little sense of history here. DePaul is not No. 1 in the Chicago market right now, but it certainly was. During 1978-83, DePaul was the only bright spot in Chicago sports, and they were huge, much bigger than Illinois ever was. The Georgetown DePaul games of the early 80s were big events, played before sold out gyms and with big tv audiences.
During one of those games (1983 or 1985?) the DePaul cheerleaders stood in front of the Hoya section and started the cheer: Give me a "D", give me an "E," give me a "P", give me an "A", give me an "L!" What's that spell?
The GU fans politely pointed out: "DePal!" But we were nice about it; vowels can be tricky.
Go Hoyas!

Unbelieveable. A huge, huge win for the program. And against the most annoying team in college basketball. HOYA SAXA!

Playa -- If it's any consolation, my three year old twins ran for their mother in the first half yelling "What's wrong with Daddy?!?"

Excellent. That means in the last few and next few years in bball and football we will have played Cornell, Navy, and Yale. If we schedule Harvard, Holy Cross and Princeton, the fight song is complete.

Much sadness today in Chicago, which is the second largest Polish city in the World. I heard the Pope described as the Old Lion. It's a perfect nickname for him. Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei.
