Friday's the big day. If the Hogs want to prove Vitale, Phelps and Packer are full of it (and they are) the best way to do so is to win. Blow USC out. Pink Floyd is a vastly over-rated Coach. Now, that doesn't mean he isn't capable of out coaching us, but I doubt that USC has the size to match up with the Hogs frontline. Go Hogs!

When contacted by the Demozette, Dookie V quickly backed away from his earlier comments about the Hogs making it into the NCAA tournament being an "outrage". Typical of a blowhard. Diclie's darling, Drexel got beat in the NIT tonight by the way. The Hogs should have a Nolan-size chip on their shoulders by the time the game rolls around with all the self-appointed experts bashing them for getting into the field.

All good things come to an end, and so it was with the Hogs SEC tourney run with the loss to Florida today. Playing 4 games in as many days is tough enough, but to have to knock off the National Champs, who hadn't been extended in the previous 2 games....It was just too much to ask. So it's on to Spokane, WA for a date with USC. We owe them one, or actually a couple. Go Hogs, it was still a productive week.

If this team plays like they did the first 3 days, the Hogs will have a chance to move in to a 2nd round game with ....TEXAS. Better to play them in Spokane than Austin, like earlier in the season. For this team to wake up as late as they did, a lot was accomplished in a short time.

Give Stan heath another year, idf he doesn't win BIG next year.....

How about those Hogs! Stan may save his job after all. I have changed my mind about firing him, but caution is called for. I don't know if his contract should be extended, but should get another year, and if the 08 edition doesn't have a great season with all those Srs, it will be time to make a move. Every year it seems the Hogs start 1-3 in the SEC, digging a hole they can't seem to get out of. What a game! I can't complain about Ervin, at least until tomorrow.

What with all the talk about Houston Nutt and his near-miss in the plane the other day (Houston Nutt and objects flying through the air just don't mix, doncha know?), the Hog Roundballers and their 11th hour attempt to get in the NCAA tournament has been overshadowed.

Steven Hill must not be superstitious or he wouldn't have cut his hair with a 2 game winning streak on the line. The first time the Hogs have won 2 in a row in SEC play. I think the pony tail looked better, myself. Oh well, it's his hair.

Anyway, in my opinion, we must win 3 games in the SEC/T to get in, 2 might do it, but don't hold your breath. USC and Vandy are winnable games, don't know who would be next, but all games are losable if the wrong team shows up.
