It's Monday, and I still can't tell if Duke's for real

Huh...didn't see that coming - Michigan loses to Iowa and Minnesota, to go 0-3 in the Big Ten. On the other hand, the field hockey team won their sixth in a row, so, you know...there's that.

Stay, Stone! Stay! - Ohio State gets swept by Purdue and follows it up with a 3-1 loss at IU. Worst farewell tour since the Eagle's fifth one, or was it their sixth one? The one that cost $350 / ticket. That one.

'Nova represents - So, see if you can follow this: Notre Dame lost to Villanova, which lost to Penn, which lost to Fairfield, which lost to Siena, which lost to Robert Morris, which lost to Bucknell, which lost to Radford, which lost to High Point.

Dude, the Irish totally lost to High Point!

Check out Charlie - Pretty good returns on UOP's investment in the Wademeister, with wins over UCSB and, more impressively, Cal Poly. So far, it looks like hiring Chuck was like getting in on the ground floor with Red Hat Linux, or, something.

All hail St. Francis of NY! - They claimed their first win since the 2004 season with a 30-23, 24-30, 33-31, 27-30, 15-12 win over Q-pac. Longest drought since John Travolta before he made "Pulp Fiction." And if Travolta's career is any indication, St. Francis will have a couple mild wins before returning to the "Wild Hogs" of volleyball doldrum.

Damn the irony - I mention how well UW-Milwaukee is doing, and then they lose a five-game barn-burner to "Boss" Chuck Voss and the Vikettes. Is it still a 2-team race (avec Bryce Drew University), or is Cleveland State for real? Felsing #1 13 kills, 52 assists; Felsing #2 20 digs.

Is this a glass-half-full kind of thing? - Cal took UCLA to five games! Yea! Beck and Pressey hit zero. Boo. But Cal won the first two games, holding UCLA to a .121 hitting percentage! Yea! But Cal hit .056 for the next three. Boo.

Miami! Of Ohio! - The Redhawks, formerly Redskins, bounced Ohio in 4 games AT Ohio. The next night, Ohio beat Bowling Green in front of a school-record 3,689 fans, which is kinda like still yelling "Surprise!" when you're a day late for a surprise party. Coach Carlston, give us a facial expression that best expresses your feelings:

Yup, that's the one.
