Gearing Up for College Basketball

October 4, 2007 by Extra P.

You may wonder where I’ve been recently. Or, you may click over to my page for three seconds, see nothing new, and go on about your day without a hitch.

Either way, I am still writing, so I’ll just show you where, and you can go there if you wish. Marco has graciously invited me to be heavily involved in his new college basketball blog called Storming the Floor. College Hoops is my favorite sport in the whole wide world, so I accepted. He and I are hard at work on preseason team and conference previews:

In addition, we’re signing up a stellar crew of conference correspondents, so get in touch with Marco at stormingthefloor@gmail.com if you are a Big 10 or Big East aficionado

I’m also still writing the Cupcake Report for Losers With Socks. We’ve added Notre Dame to the permanent cake list for this season, so that gives ample fodder for debate:

The Cupcake Report: Can We Go Back to September?

That’s it for right now, but if inspiration strikes, perhaps I’ll post later this afternoon.

Despite losing JR Reynolds, I think UVA will be about as good as they were last year(or maybe I’m just being delusional). Dave Leitao is very underrated as a coach, IMO.

Oh, I love Leitao. Not only does his way get results, but I enjoy watching it - I hated the Gillen way. Add in the new arena, which is wonderful, and you really have a home court advantage. I think they’ll do well.

I played golf in the group behind Leitao once. He wasn’t very nice. Plus his name is the most difficult to spell since Ed Figueroa. I’ve never once typed his name without looking.

Sure, that means nothing, but I’m trying to contribute.

As if your dance card isn’t already full, EP, you are welcomed to churn out anything you’d like for CAA: LAMM (Motto: “We Need A Damn Motto!”

Yes, coach suffers from vowel overload, definitely. As for his comportment - I’ve long ago given up on expecting kindness out of public figures. The ones that surprise you with it are memorable.

I definitely appreciate the invite, MGL - I feel a tad underqualified since I rarely get to watch the CAA games in Cville, but I”m going to rectify that through der internets this season if my family responsibilities will allow it. But my mind is always churning stuff out, so some of it may splatter on your page.
