It's Monday: Big East staff should probably spruce up that resumé

"Who are you people?"

Beating Nebraska was the worst thing they could've done - What's up with CSU? This weekend they lost to Denver at Denver. Is it that big of a home court advantage for the Pioneers? Especially with the 613 in attendance? (Which we all know via sports info director math means there were actually 421 at the match.)


No one wants to be second in the Pac 12 - Someone explain how UCLA can sweep USC, who then sweeps Washington, who out-and-out clobbers the Bruins? Then explain String Theory. I don't get that, either.

Status quo? - I'll give you $100 if you can explain the significance of Notre Dame beating Wisconsin. I think we're pretty much in the same place, right?

Ohhh! 25-16! That's different - A RichKern.com typo made Long Island on the receiving end of a 25-1 game loss to FGCU. I know FGCU took a game off of Penn State, but that would've been ridiculous.

Speaking of which, aren't we over this "Russ Rose Experiment"? - Clearly the glory days are over if they can't beat FGCU in 3. The guy had a good run, but I think we need to end the charade and hire a real coach already.

Good luck in your new conference! - Colorado gets swept by Utah, Cal, and Stanford. Perhaps this season will be titled "We're Dancing as Fast as We Can"?

This is how the Hatfields and McCoys got started - "The feud between Little Rock and Pine Bluff? Weeell, that there conflict started back in '11, before the formation of the BigPacSEC in '12, when the former took the latter to the woodshed on a September day, 25-7, 9, and 9."

Hope you enjoyed the Big East / Big Ten Challenge - Illinois and Purdue went 2-0 in what we'll refer to next year as, "Hey remember when there was a Big East? That was fun."

You've had your fun, MAC. Now pipe down. - Michigan State stops their MAC losing streak at one with a 3-0 victory over Ball State.

Look out! It's...UCONN! - After a 2010 season that everyone involved with would like to forget, the Huskies are 8-5 after a win over the Wahoos.

Go ahead and take the long way. I've got time. - Two matches in a row, the Hoyas got down 0-2 before coming back to win in 5.

Let's lose to Northern Illinois more often! - Marquette won six in a row after their loss to Ray Gooden's Goodies, a streak snapped only by a 5-game loss to Minnesota.

I can't see the Forest for the Wake - That's my tortured intro to mentioning that the Demon Deacons bumped off Duke. Like it? Me too.
