[NU Sports] Stanford To Cut Down Size of Football Stadium

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

Anybody who can work Monty Python into a discussion of NU sports deserves the "sports list poster of the year award".  Just keep your acceptance speech within the time it takes to play the last 1.5 seconds of a college basketball game.

There was very little list discussion of the tOSU game.

We were there and I was screaming timeout-timeout as sterling dribbled across halfcourt.  As we were walking out multiple people were making sentences with the f-bomb and the word timeout in them.  Only Hachad should have the greenlight to go to the hoop in situations like that.  VV is not the ballhandler that MH is and would get tripped up moving donwcourt even though he shoots freethrows much better.

At the reception before the game I asked Coach Lee why anyone would play man-to-man against us.  His answer -- you play what you are comfortable with and tOSU is not comfortable in zone, while PSU is mostly a zone team.

Also at the reception somebody asked about the NBA rule change about outlawing drafting pre-college players.  I was shocked by Murphy's answer that he was against the rule change.  His thought is that it is bad for the college game to have 1-year and done players, which this rule creates.  

I struggle with this thought as I don't want to have non-student athletes, which suggests a "developmental" league for the duhs, but I also do not want to weaken the college game by not having the best talent out there.

I mean, I think this has been addressed, but I'm perfectly aware that 
Stanford isn't quite as liberal as Cal.

I mean, I think Stanford still believes in private ownership of property, 
for instance, but only in limited cases involving one's bong.

Clearly Berkeley would have a problem with that, as it involved the 
concept of "one" or "individuality", and the problem of the "one" 
semiotically inducing the inherent violence of memetic expressions of self 
in a didactically imperialistic way upon the OTHER which through the 
oppression of Tarquin Fintimlimbimlimbimwhimbimlin Bus Stop Ftang Ftang 
Olay Biscuit Barrel leads to otherwise generally heteronormative 
affectations of the relevant coconspiratorial aspects implied by the use of the transgressive word "bong", but only slightly.

Or something like that.
