1:30 p.m. -- Robert Morris continues to give Villanova all they can handle. They're currently leading 28-19. My wife and I keep having a running debate about whether or not it's OK that our 3-month-old keeps turning her head toward the television while she's in her "Exersaucer." My feeling is, she clearly longs to be a jock, and this is just the first sign that she's going to be part of Connecticut's 2029 recruiting class. I contemplate e-mailing Geno Auriemma to see if he plans to coach that long, and if so, if he wants an early commitment. My wife's feeling is it will fry our daughter's brain. Who is to say who's right and who's wrong in this situation? This sounds like the kind of thing that we could discuss on "The Marriage Ref" if we were shameless reality-show opportunists like 90 percent of America. (Hey Kate Gosslin! Thanks for reading the blog!)
1:35 p.m. -- CBS just ran a commercial for The Masters that featured Larry Mize. Seriously, CBS? Let's stop ignoring the elephant in the room, OK? You've had two whole days to produce a Tiger Woods commercial. Are you telling me you couldn't have thrown together some shots of him walking up the fairway with a Jim Nantz voiceover saying, "He torched his marriage. Can he still torch the August field? The Masters on CBS!" Major promo FAIL, CBS.
1:40 p.m. -- I really like Jay Bilas. In fact, I'd go so far as to say he's the most likable Duke graduate outside of Grant Hill. (Has anyone ever pointed out that he looks like the skinny older brother of Rob Riggle from The Daily Show? Because he does. And I think that makes me like him that much more.) How hard would it be to put together a list of Duke people you actually like? Everyone can put together a list of Duke grads they'd like to punch in the face. But I dare you to come up with five you actually like. Here is my best effort.
1. Grant Hill
2. Jay Bilas
3. Charlie Rose
4. Novelist Ann Tyler
5. Washington Post reporter Barry Svrluga, but only because I can regularly kick his tail at golf and his name is actually harder to pronounce than mine. If he ever decided to add a few vowels and get some lessons for his short game, I'd have to seriously consider swapping him out for Richard Nixon on this list. The man did open the door to China, after all.
1:45 p.m. -- Notre Dame and Old Dominion keep trading the lead. Robert Morris is still up on Villanova. (Seriously, was Jay Wright under the impression that Robert Morris was just one guy instead of the name of a team?) Notre Dame forward Luke Harangody has two fouls and two points. Does anyone know if he's the illegitimate son of former Oklahoma State center Bryant "Big Country" Reeves? Because he reminds me a little of him.
