It is pretty funny the number of games that this seems to happen in.

Great second half by the Lady Vols

Nothing but blank stares until I went into some of the touristy areas of Dublin.

Huh.... when I was there, the one American sports team(s) they knew anything about was Notre Dame and quite a few did- maybe it's about the difference between popular and "knows about".

Regardless, my metaphysical-health speaking, even in Ireland they consider leprachauns perverse little bastards, so maybe I'm okay.... Though, that said, if I perversely root against Notre Dame, a team which is itself intrinsically perverse, have I produced a cosmic double-negative?

Frack me.

Either I let this one go, or I contact the Bush family- and I don't care how depraved I may have become, I don't want to risk having that on my phone records.

You can always count on them to give it their best shot even when they get off to a slow start. ND really wanted this one and they played well but our girls never give up because they know they can WIN...these late games make it hard to keep the energy level up. GOOD LUCK against A&M!!!!!

Great game Candace, now let's go take care of the Aggies

1. Anybody know much/ anything about A&M? I haven't seen a single game by them all year.

2. If we end up playing the Rutters, do you think the way they have become (both fairly and whinely) the great victims of the universe will work for or against them/ us?

3. How hard, 1 to 10, do you think Imus is praying Rutgers doesn't make it to the final for his own sake, and, depending on your opinion of how big a smartass God is, do you think that works for or against Rutger's chances?

Limerick, Cork, Galway....nothing. But once I got into Dublin and the kind of pubs where they're used to tourists asking them to make black-and-tans (which is an appalling request, if you know anything about Irish history and what the term actually means), then they claimed to know all about Notre Dame. Except that they didn't, of course, other than that to snicker about it. Most Irishmen realize that Notre Dame is just about as much Irish as most of the 75 million Americans who now claim Irish ancestry. I.e., not at all.

And there is never anything perverse about rooting against Notre Dame. In any sport, versus any opponent.

2. It won't matter.

3. 1-10? 10. Or 11. And again, it won't matter. I wish things were ordered enough that it did.

If I was a Kentucky fan, I wouldn't believe in an ordered universe either.

Of course, if I was a twinkie, I wouldn't believe in double-stuff, so maybe it's just me.

It may serve Bruce well to try this. As far as Texas A/M, Duke lost to them their last game. Duke coach said A/M was the most physical defense they had faced all year.

What time is the game tomorrow night?
