Random Thoughts (January 8, 2009)

Even with Stephon Curry reaching his season's scoring average of 29 points, Davidson fell to #2 Duke last night. Duke is legit this year. They are a true team, not just a collection of high school All-Americans, and I really think they can challenge my beloved Tarheels for ACC supremacy as well as for the national championship... BC's men's basketball team, coming off of an upset of top ranked North Carolina in the Dean Dome, fell to Harvard last night at home. It was the first win ever for Harvard over a nationally ranked team (BC was #24) and it was also a reminder that BC is really not a great team. Some people forgot that fact in the afterglow of the win over UNC... Tim Tebow might have lost the Heisman to Sam Bradford but his Gators are going to rock the Sooners tonight to capture their second BCS national championship in the three years... You can't convince me that "Mr. Miserable" Dan Shaughnessy isn't enjoying the recent slump suffered by the Celtics. The man is only happy when the hometown teams are hurting. By the way, great article by Curt Schilling on his blog ripping into the Curly Haired Boyfriend. Not only is Schill a Hall of Fame pitcher, he is a better writer than Shaughnessy... Enjoy Tebow tonight...
