One nice thing about being a DC area native is that in any given year, there's always at least one good local college team. My #1 team is U of MD but if it sucks, there are always Georgetown, George Washington U...and I never thought I'd say this: George Mason.

Although GMU's based in northern VA, all of their starters came from Maryland. ^_^ Looking forward to their final four game tonite.

A college superstar's reputation crumbled in a matter of minutes because he cried. Has this ever happened before? I couldn't believe my eyes. Adam Morrison of Gonzaga (in Wash. state) started sobbing because UCLA came from behind to take a 2-point lead. The game wasn't even over! His team was only a shot away from winning the game with about 3 seconds on the clock. He just stood around weeping as a teammate's shot bounced off the rim then collapsed on the floor, bawling and covering his face with his jersey. I felt sorry for him—it's gonna take a long time to live that down.

Only two things can happen: after the humiliation of seeing thousands of pictures of him weeping like a 6 year old who fell out of his swing, he goes into a tailspin and become a dud in NBA...or he channels his anguish into becoming a great player and make everyone forget what happened. There's no between.
