The Remarkable Run Is Over.....
Stephen
Curry the son of former NBA
sharpshooter Del Curry, despite
all of the success he had in high school he went unnoticed by major ACC
schools. Most of them thought he was too undersized to handle the physical
nature of the college game. Last year Stephen led the Southern Conference
in scoring. Averaging 21.5 points per game and was second in the nation
for freshmen in scoring, to Texas'
Kevin Durant, who ended up being
the 2nd pick in the 2007
NBA Draft.
Coming off of that stellar freshman season, Curry was eager to impress
this year. And that he did, on February 13, 2008, Curry's 41 point game
against the
University of North Carolina Greensboro
helped Davidson come back from a 20-point first half deficit. That right
there defined the whole season for them. During the tournament Curry led
them from one upset to the next. How exciting it was to watch them.
Stephen may be getting most of the press. But the whole team played pretty
well. I was glad to hear that after the game, Curry announced that he
would return for his junior year. And so the underdog plays on...

Technology's Stranglehold.....
On a lighter note, DJ Excel
mixed a song about Barrack Obama with excerpts from the racist Harlem
Pastor
Manning who has been railing against Barack Obama in sermons for reasons
that are hard to pick out.

Jericho Is No More.....
On March 21, 2008 CBS announced that the network would not be renewing Jericho for a third season. The final episode will air tonight. Lackluster ratings prompted CBS to cancel the show for a second time. This really frustrates me I don't watch much TV. And this is easily one of my favorite shows. And one of the best in my opinion.
CBS tried to cancel the show last year. But a small rabid grassroots fan base. Spoke out and put an end to that. Unfortunately they axed it again. I'm hoping people will email CBS again voicing their disgust at the fading primetime network. They are so desperate for ratings they are airing an edited version of the Showtime hit Dexter. If were lucky some other network will pick up the show.
- here's a short clip on what
you have been missing.

Interestingly, the commentors on the original post - and on the numerous blogs that have pointed to this hilarious bit of pop art

I Wear My Boxers Backwards (for comfort of coarse)
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.'
