(Athleticism in action)
The Larry Brown Invitational continues with Kansas against North Carolina. Both Bill Self and Roy Williams have ordered their players to have fun tonight in a vain attempt to get them to relax. Tyler Hansbrough’s anus probably hasn’t unclenched since the third grade. No wonder he always looks like he will explode.
Hey, that’s an auspicious start if I ever saw one.
Again, Brooks is at the contest and will send reports as long as his phone survives. Unlike the other Alamo denizens, he’ll keep his powder dry and save his ammo until he’s needed. (Also, he looks great in a coonskin cap.)

Could we please check with NCAA officials to make sure all four teams Saturday night received the same schedule of events? This seems to have been a problem all week, what with all the blowouts. One team gets notice to show up for a game at an appointed time and the other team has a schedule that asks them to appear at a rubber chicken dinner at the hotel at the same time.
(Are you sure this schedule is right? I don’t think we’re supposed to carry the Olympic torch tonight.)
Is it too much to ask the printing vendor to tell UCLA the game starts at 6:30ish ET without telling Xavier to be at the Scottsdale Hilton at 6:45 for the presentation of the “Nice Try, Kids; Better Luck Next Year” award?
By the time Xavier realized they’d been caught on “Candid Camera” and raced over to the arena, it was too late. UCLA had already throttled the empty Xavier jerseys 76-57. (It would have been worse except for UCLA’s 10 first-half turnovers.)

BUICK-BRANDED GOLF CARTS PROBABLY NOT NEXT FOR TW: The AP reports “Tiger Woods made it official Tuesday — the world’s No. 1 golfer plans to design his first American course in the mountains of North Carolina.”
The fun part: The Cliffs course at High Carolina “will allow only walkers, something Woods said was key to the deal.”
Woods’ reasoning for cart crack down? He “hopes the course gives golfers a chance to connect with nature.”
After the trauma of endorsing various Buick products over the years, who came blame Woods for having an acute aversion to oldster vehicles anywhere near the links?
