While You Were Drinking

A recap of what you may have missed this weekend

• New #2 - Thanks to their Saturday night pantsing of the Fighting Irish, the USC Trojans have now taken over the #2 spot in the BCS. If you didn't see this coming, you're an idiot. So this means that for the 3,219th year in a row we'll be forced to watch USC in the National Championship game. Unless they lose to UCLA next week. That would be awesome.
• You Missed a Classic - Most of you probably took no notice of a game that was on ESPN late Saturday night. It's too bad, because Kansas edged out the defending champion Florida Gators 82-80 in overtime. The game felt like a Final Four game, and luckily we were smart enough to record it. They may have lost to Oral Roberts last week, but with Julian Wright (how we long to see him in an Illini uniform...sigh), Russel Robinson, Darrell Arthur, and Brandon Rush, this won't be the last we hear of the Jayhawks. Well until some school you never heard of upsets them in the first round of the tournament again, and completely kills your bracket. Ya, we pretty much hate Kansas.
• Bulls finally win - The Bulls beat the Knicks on Saturday night to end their six-game losing streak but it wasn't drama-free. Apparently there's trouble brewing between Ben Wallace and Scott Skiles about, of all things, a headband. Listen, if the damn headband can shoot, we say let him keep it.
• VY relives Rose Bowl - The Giants were up 21-0 against the Titans with 10 minutes left in Nashville yesterday. Then Vince Young just took over. In a scene eerily reminiscent of last year's Rose Bowl, Young abused the Giants with his arm and legs. Before it was all over Young had thrown for 249 yards, rushed for 69, and threw two touchdowns as the Titans came back to beat the Giants 24-21. This is the NFC, ladies and gentlemen.
