Craig Littlepage announced yesterday that UVa will not extend Al Groh's contract. While this is not quite the announcement I would prefer, I can honestly say I am relieved. Afterall, would any Hoos fan have been shocked to find out Craig added another year to Al's deal? UVa football is a joke.
I guess when you lose to VT seven of eight times, you are worth keeping around...at least until your buy-out drops a couple mill.

I know what its like to be surrounded by Tech fans, but the yard flags and car decals that terrorize my neighborhood are nothing compared to this hideous display.
Unfortunately, I doubt the Cavs will do much to ruin Jennifer's spirit on Saturday, but her house will continue to be absolutely atrocious.

These are a few highlights from this week's edition of "The Homers." Follow the link to enjoy the dellusions in their entirety:
Homer #1: E-Dubs
The weather was not the only thing cold in Charlotesville. The offense being displayed could of put to sleep a school bus of 8 year olds jacked up on mountain dew and fun dip.
Homer #2: Moncrieffe
We have been on a 4-year slide against UF and it's time that Urb learned what a good ol' fashioned FSU stomping feels like. Their offense is not as advertised and their defense is not that good at all.
Homer #5: Krystal
Watching Miami is like flirting with a really hot chick, then finding out she's only 16. You see the potential, and get all the anticipation, but there's nothing you can do but wait 2 years.

Gilbert took time during the unveiling of his wax figure at Madame Tussauds to share his vision for the future:
"I don't want to see them struggle, but if this is one of those years where we don't make the playoffs or we finish in last place ... that's what happened to San Antonio and that's how they got Tim Duncan and look at them now ... and that's for the better."
In the same conversation, it became clear that Hibachi is busting his ass to make sure his team continues to be really really miserably terrible:
"I definitely want to wait until after New Year's."
That sounds like a man with a plan. And Gil is a smart dude. Afterall, he is collecting on a gargantuant new contract by wearing a nice suit a few nights a week, so I'm on board with "Operation Doormat". First of all, making New Year's plans can be extremely time consuming. Also, there is no reason for him to come back before he is completely sure his knee will last at least 4 months before blowing out again. However, Gilbert must be watching more college hoops than I am if he has identified the next Tim Duncan in the 2009 draft class because I have no idea who that might be. If the Wiz were going to tank, 07-08 probably would have been better timing.
Although, I wouldn't trade the Lebron/Jay-Z v. DeShawn/Soldier Boy series for all the Derrick Rose's in the world!

The finish line is in sight people.
Jeff Sagarin's 2nd highest rated conference has two more weeks of exciting competition! Theoretically, there will be a title game played in Tampa afterwards but that is based on the assumption that two teams actually want to participate. Thus far, it has seemed like ACC football programs are just as ready to move on to basketball as I am.
At the very least it will be great having Homer #1 E-dub in C-ville Saturday to watch the most disappointing team in college football stay a game shy of bowl eligibility while the Hoos lock up a trip to Boise. Blue field in HD...awesome!
UNC (-11) over North Carolina State
MARYLAND (+1) over Florida St
VIRGINIA (+2.5) over Clemson
Boston College (+2) over WAKE FOREST
VT (-17) over Duke
FLORIDA (Off) over Citadel
Michigan St (+14.5) over PENN ST
LSU (-4) over Mississippi
TCU (-19.5) over Air Force
Boise St (-6) over NEVADA
UTAH (-7) over Brigham Young
Oregon St (+2.5) over ARIZONA
CINCINNATI (-5) over Pittsburgh
Texas Tech (+7) over OKLAHOMA
Last Week 13 – 8
Overall 101 – 91 – 4

Wins over VMI & South Florida don't change the fact that the Hoos are projected to finish last in the ACC, but the foundation of Sylven Landesberg & Mike Scott has Cavs fans very excited about the future...

Huge turnaround in the picks this week. After two less than stellar performances, The Bald Spot finished 13-8 last Saturday, which bumped the overall record up to 101 - 91 - 4. Nice to be moving away from .500 again.
