No Kalin Lucas?
No problem.
“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.
State’s 5′11″ point-man Korie Lucious may have a little something to

This really has been a great start. It’s pretty exciting to see dark horse teams winning by playing solid basketball rather than just shooting the lights out. 4 year players are so key.

I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

I have a signed framed Benson jersey in my office that at one point co-workers had decorated with all of his mugshots. I left them up there, shared in the joke. What else could you do?
Clients would look at it and an awkward silence would fill the room.
Well not anymore big boy.
Benson got a bad deal in Chicago but certainly didn’t help himself by holding out and distancing himself from his team with a sullen demeanor and lazy work ethic. He created most of his own problems, much like the author of this post.
How many guys have revived their careers in Cincinnatti?
It’s a nice redemption. He’s in great shape and busting his ass for the team. The defense is vastly improved but without Ced, they’re probably 2-3 instead of 4-1.

Dr. Johnny Fever did. He was doing a garden show in Amarillo after saying “booger” on the air in his previous gig. Andy Travis recruited him to WKRP, along with Venus Flytrap, when they switched formats.

My first year doing fantasy football and my weak-ass strategy of picking as many standout or mediocre ‘Horns as possible hit its biggest paydirt with Benson. I was made fun of for the first week after drafting, but I’m the one laughing now (albeit I’m still laughing in last place).

“Baby, if you’ve ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I’m living on the air in Cincinnati,

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town and up and down the dial

But baby think of me once in awhile. ”

I’m in a fantasy league that has only myself and another Longhorn fan. The rest of the league are Sooners. I got the first pick in the draft and bypassed Adrian Peterson, partly to watch the reaction. The whole group went into absolute shock, except for the second pick guy, who beamed at his good fortune.
They assumed that my auto-draft order had malfunctioned, but I baited them a bit saying that Peterson wasn’t going to be head and shoulders above the other top 5 RB’s, he had a history of injuries, Favre would steal his mojo, etc. No one thought Matt Forte and Ronnie Brown were bad selections, but when I picked up Cedric Benson in an early round, the group called “homer” and assumed that I’d learn my lesson getting stomped by Peterson in a matchup.
Cedric was my 3rd RB taken, but I had a feeling he would do pretty well. As it stands, I’ve now got the NFL leading rusher in Cedric, #5 in Ronnie Brown, and #19 in Forte. I didn’t have any master plan in place, but it’s been fun watching the rest of the league grumble while Cedric has completely covered for my smack talk.

Stop it, please, all of you, just stop it. This long-suffering ex-Bengals fan cannot take it.
I stuck with them through two Super Bowl losses to the 49ers.
I stuck with them through a decade or more of being the worst. team. in. professional. sports.
I stuck with them while Marvin Lewis and Carson Palmer struggled to realize their promises.
And then came the arrests. The drug suspensions. The general thuggery. And I finally swore off them two seasons ago, threw away my (gawd-awful) striped gear, and moved on. Hey, there were always the Reds, right? At least they lost through mere incompetence, nothing to be ashamed of (it worked for the Cubs, after all). And I was content to leave it at that and focus all my football efforts on my beloved Horns.
Then they pick up Ced last season. And he looks good again.
And they ink Quan to a deal.
And now, as the Bengals’ bandwagon chugs past me with orange-and-black-striped sirens calling to me, I actually find myself … angry. And confused. Like when I dumped my cutish-but-prude girlfriend only to see her 6 months later on Halloween, slutted up and mugging down with another hot chick on 6th Street.
So just stop it already. I can’t handle success by the Bengals AND worry about whether our running woes will cost us the OU game. Have mercy.

Good for him. I am rooting for the Bengals this season – I loke Marvin Lewis, Ced, Quan, and Palmer is a pretty funny dude. And Ochocinco actually makes me laugh. He may be a diva but he’s not a bad guy.

I wonder if Vince Young’s career could be revived with a change in scenery? No doubt Cedric Benson’s hitting rock bottom and being out of the NFL have shaped a new attitude, too.
