Clips with Coach: WHAT A WEEKEND!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's also a lightening bolt!

And no, I do not mean Jeanie’s retirement, which was awesome, by the way.

This weekend saw #3 Duke get smacked by St. John’s, who, although playing much better this year, are still the eleventh-place team in the Big East. Editor’s Note: I want everyone to know that I called that loss when the Red Storm was up by only 4 in the first half. Fun-da-mentals. Also, the actual Red Storm mascot is very creepy. #19 Louisville beat #5 Connecticut, and are now in second place in the Big East. #7 Villanova also fell to Georgetown. And in maybe the wildest turn of events, #10 Syracuse lost its fourth game in a row, to Marquette – and are now tied with them for seventh place in the Big East.

“Those Are the Type of Flights that Make You Wanna Do Good, Change Ya Life Around. Lol.”

Apparently there was danger in the skies last night as both the UMass and North Carolina men’s basketball teams faced some scary conditions at very high altitudes.

Let’s start with UNC first. According to FoxNews, the Tar Heels left Raleigh-Durham airport at approximately 8 p.m. for a flight to Miami to play the Hurricanes.

Clips with Coach: THE NUMBER IS STILL TWO!

Will Farrell, is that you?

Two. That is the number of NFL teams left. We do pay attention to other sports (I was the star of College Gameday at West Point this fall, in case you didn’t remember), and the Superbowl is always a great party! Does anyone else think Ben Roethlisberger looks like Will Farrell? Editor’s Note: No.

It is also the number of children Julie and Tim Turnbull now have (I would include their names but they are too hard to spell). It is the number of putts “Johnny Vegas” had on 18 to win the Bob Hope Classic Sunday (he three putted – but beat former college basketball player Gary Woodland on the second playoff hole). It is the number of games Syracuse lost this week (not enough), and it is still the number of unbeatens in Division I college basketball (ha, and you thought we were going to talk about other sports).
