30 for 30 Requiem for the Big East March 16

[Waquoit]

Ezra Edelman is from DC - I think his father works for Georgetown, but I know his mom founded the Children's Defense Fund. His docs are generally excellent, but obviously, this one is not telling the story past the mid-80s.

If I was interested in that, I would just go reread my paperback copy of Big Hoops. I'd rather stick a spindle in my ear.

I got free tix for the Pitt/NCState game tonight, heretofore to be known as the "TJ Warren Show". It was an impressive performance because honestly, NC State is not that good. Pretty much everyone else threw up garbage, they have a midget PG and a backup center who makes Charles Barkley look like the "after" picture in a NutriSystems ad.

Fwiw, if you'd like to feel sorry for me, the major sports station here promoted their Syracuse grad to basketball analyst. He does the pre and post-game shows in addition to replacing the only morning guy who could talk baseball. Whiny, snively, arrogant and stupid all rolled into one.

If he picks his nose he could have been a Boeheim B*st*rd.

It would be completely appropriate for someday 30 for 30 or ESPN Films to make a 2011 UConn film. The hero-Kemba, the old mastermind going for 1 more-Calhoun, the rest of the squad- young and inexperienced, the season- not going as fans would have hoped....then boom. 5 games in 5 days and then the mesmerizing tourney run. That was one of the most special seasons in college basketball or college sports history. It would be a great watch and a great documentary. Give em a few more years, I suppose.

Won't spoil much more but in case you were wondering if Requiem is Syracuse-heavy, it is.

Interesting. VERY little UConn in the doc.

Rediculous.

It's amazing how much we get t e d on, even non UConn fan buddies of mine are starting to notice it.
