Shankopotamus.

So, the Super Bowl happened. And it was actually a really good game, which is always a nice touch. My favorite part about the Super Bowl, though, is that football is finally (sort of) over, and we can get to talking about the sports that actually matter, like tennis and swimming.

Or basketball. We could talk about basketball.

My dad suggested a QotD about Jay Bilas' and Bob Knight's comments about the recent Maryland controversy. I didn't hear the comments, though, so I couldn't really form a question; plus, I have a more important question, I guess. Anyhow, I'm not sure that Gary Williams will last much longer at Maryland, considering the circumstances. It's not like he's winning.

Carolina looked good Saturday in Raleigh. I was especially impressed by Ty Lawson, who seemed like he was finally willing to try to score a little more often (and in the half-court). Wake looked a little worse against GT. I think they might have had a case to move back to No. 1, if they could have won out. Instead, it looks like UCONN will move back there, for now.

I didn't realize how excited I was for that UCONN/Louisville game until just now. Plus, Chuck, Heroes, and One Way Out are on tonight. And I can watch last night's Flight. Should be a good night.

We're talking about songs as poetry in my literature class. I'm planning on playing some Flight for my class.

I'm also grading my students' blogs today, so potentially, in my next blog, I would commend those who are doing well (or getting As).

QotD:

Favorite Super Bowl commercial?

My take: I probably laughed the hardest at Carlos Boozer's use of the word "bling," but it wasn't a great commercial. But, obviously, my vote goes to the E*Trade baby.

  1. I liked the grease monkeys one, there weren't many good ones to choose from this year

  2. The E*Trade baby commercials are always golden, as was the case this year. Although the CareerBuilder.com "It might be time" commercial may be my personal favorite due to the fact that someone punched a koala in the face.

    Lawson did look good on Saturday. I know because I was there. Also my favorite part of the superbowl was Austin's "accident" on Buddy. Still makes me laugh.
    QoD:
    I think I laughed hardest at the Bud Light commercial where the dude got kicked out the window for suggesting not drinking at meetings. I want to work there.

    Of course you the E*trade baby is my homey.
