The Law Firm of Fazekas, Collison, Oden, Durant, and Strawberry
First Team 2006-07 'Pent All Americans.
For what that's worth.
-----------------------------------
Darren Collison -- 1 -- The best point guard in the nation by a mile. Does everything right. Looks like a leader. We still say he's John Stockton with jets. UCLA has a great chance to win it.
Acie Law -- 2 -- Has hit a bunch of big shots for A&M, one of the year's suprise teams. Don't knock his jumper: it goes in. Undersized for the NBA, but could still have a career in The League.
Kevin Durant -- 3 -- The 'Pent staff saw him early and he looked like just a jump shooter. My goodness has he proven us wrong. Plays like Lamar Odom did in high school, free and easy. An incredible player. Nobody knows how good he will turn out to be as there are questions about how his body and game will translate to the next level: can't wait to find out after he decides to move on.
Nick Fazekas -- 4 -- The Mini-Dirk? Diggler, Jr.? Reno-911? Has put together one of the most impressive four year careers statistically in college history. Now, go win some (more) games in the tournament. Reno State can win four, maybe more.
Greg Oden -- 5 -- Coming out of nowhere, this young man has had a pretty OK year. Um...yeah. He's Bill Russell plus 30 pounds: we can't come up with a bigger compliment than that.
D.J. Strawberry -- 6th Man -- We just love his game. Can't shoot for shit, can't dribble too well, not that tall at 6 3. Just a baller. Just a baller. We'd take him on our squad in any sport. It's been a pleasure watching you play the game, D.J.
--------------------------------------------
Why college ball is great:
Senior Day/Night ----> Conference Tournaments ----> CBS announces the Field of 65 ----> First Rounder at a great arena: UD in Dayton ----> The Best Weekend in Sports ----> Sweet 16 ----> Elite 8 ----> Final Four, to be held down in the Georgia Dome.
--------------------------------------------
Memo to Women's NCAA Rules Committee
Can you folks get it together and write up something that will eliminate the ridiculous no Ten Second Count rule? It really messes up the last two minutes of a game. You want more respect? Then get the rules straight. It's just a silly, antiquated rule. Change it.
--------------------------------------------
Note to Ashley C. of Portand's McCauley High: Think Matt Bonner. Similar games and hopefully similar careers. Best of luck at Stanford; it should be a lot of fun.
--------------------------------------------
Memo to Men's NCAA Rules Committee
Thought you were in the clear? Nope.
The NBA allows teams to inbound at halfcourt following a score and timeout. Why can't y'all do the same? Just a simple type-written rule change will do the trick, Dr. Yes, it's just that easy to improve the game by about 2%. Which would make it pretty close to perfect.
-------------------------------------------
This whole "handing out of t-shirts at the gate" is getting frightening. Black outs? White outs? Wow.
We can never, ever remember forgetting to wear a shirt to a game. Never.
So if someone tried to force us to wear some M or XL 50/50 shirt made in a far away land, well that would be just too much. Think Sean Penn vs the Pooparazzi, folks. Don't ever tell us here in Apartment404 what to wear. We dress quite nicely already.
Sometimes even in longsleeves and jeans.
...
Just what is so attractive about ten thousand people wearing the same color unif... sorry, clothes? Kind of creepy if you ask us. Guess we read too many history books.
And a sea of white or black? Boring. Watch a Red Sox game in person or on tv and there are 34,000 different ways to show your support: red shirts, white shirts, blue shirts, black shirts, pink shirts, every type of baseball cap imaginable, stinking drunk guys with huge bellies waving like maniacs at the tv cameras...oops, sorry: that was us last year.
Do you really want to live in a campus where everybody dresses the same? Looks the same? Wears the same size shoe?
That would suck.
---------------------------------------------
Keep your collective heads down, folks. It's almost springtime.
For what that's worth.
