Question 1: Stanford 19-3 (8-2) 2nd Pac 10 beat Oregon 13-9 (4-6) 6th on Thursday night, and it seems if your last name is Lopez, Robin or Brook you won't have a hard time finding the net as Robin had 15 points and Brook had 12 and oh yes Lawrence Hill who finished second in scoring finished with 13 things seems to be things are clicking for Stanford?
Stanford is beginning to hit their stride. It is definitely going to be an interesting Pac-10 Tournament. UCLA shows no sign of slowing down. as a matter of fact I predict the next time these two teams play on March 6th in Pauley Pavilion is going to be a battle royal. I can't wait.
Question 2.: Cal 14-7 (5-5) 6th plays at Oregon on Saturday night at Haas with both teams knotted for 6th in the Pac 10 this is a big game for Cal in order to move up in the rankings and get their fourth straight win do you see Cal able to take advantage of the home floor and finish the job against a sometimes challenging Oregon team?
Anything is possible, but with this Cal team, I won't hold my breath. They are hungry, but they have difficulty being finishers.
Question 3: Robert Dozier of Memphis University apologized in an apparent assault case on former girlfriend LaParis Woods. Dozier followed Woods after she left a Memphis night club to an intersection and both cars stopped and Dozier got out and slapped Woods on the right side of the face twice causing minor swelling.
Dozier later apologized to his parents, teammates, coaches, and said, "this will never happen again" no criminal charges have been filed against Dozier and Dozier was withheld from Thursday's game victory over SMU 77-48. What do you think will happen with Dozier at the University will he play again?
I see Dozier has received his NBA starter kit. If Dozier did hit his girlfriend he needs go to jail. I don't care how mad you are; you don't put your hands on a woman. Be a man. You are a sure fire first round draft pick. Break up with her and get another girlfriend. I know that there has to be a couple standing in line. Your apology is feeble, and your punishment is even worse. Boo hoo, Dozier can't play against SMU. Does SMU even have a basketball team? I haven't followed the football team since Eric Dickerson and Craig James were the Pony Express (and that really dates me).
Calipari needs to be a little stronger in the discipline of his players before he becomes the new Bob Huggins.
Final Thoughts:
1. How about those G-Men!!!!!! I look like a genius, not a hater (see last week’s final thoughts). To my fellow journalist who slobbered all over the Patriots "Let the teams play the game before you give the trophy away!" HOW MANY TIME MUST I SAY THIS. DIDN'T YOU LEARN FROM THE TEXAS - USC SLOBBER FEST?
2. Hey Tiki Barber, guess it wasn't the coaching after all. You turned out to be the club house cancer. Enjoy the Today Show. They give rings out for best feature stories, right?
3. The Pro Bowl is this weekend, and the NFL Combine is February 23rd. We are running out of football y'all. Thank god for March Madness
