We have seven of the current top ten on our schedule, and with two games against ND, that means we have eight games against current Top ten teams. Is anyone else close?

Georgia at #8, is the highest ranked team not on our schedule (and no offense Andy, but I'll take bets they won't reach the Elite Eight).

I think we OD'd from watching the Paradise Jam "tournament."

Can we say SPRINKLES, heading the cupcake wars!
 
the way this team will play , even some of the ranked teams will look like cupcakes. there will be very few really competive games over the next few years, games that they win by less than 10 points. left the game for awhile last night to watch the national dog show.

We saw UCONN dismantle aTm and Purdue. Hard to tell how good they are but aTm lost a close one to top 10 PSU...

And an even closer one to Louisville by 2 at Louisville. They played #8, #9 and #2 back to back to back. Tough week.
 
I was one of those who complained about cupcakes, and no, I'm not complaining this year. Instead of Hofstra and Iona, UConn has played Marist and Purdue. The results were somewhat the same, but I cannot help but feel UConn had a better learning experience in each of those than when it played Hofstra and Iona. In understand why UConn cannot always get the Marists of the world on its schedule, but it sure is nice when they can, isn't it?

As someone mentioned here and on another post, this team is going to make most others look bad. This is maybe a year when three or four teams are considerably above the rest We'll know more when UConn plays Duke, Stanford and especially Baylor.
 
You could consider yourselves the "cupcakinators"

A little off topic but we seem to have drifted there anyway....Does anyone else think that we have not seen the end of the twinkie (as well as several other Hostess treats?) I think before all is said and done someone else will buy the rights/recipe and produce them. They are an institution in themselves and the market is there. Having said that I can't remember the last twinkie I ate but it was at least 10 years ago....probably 20. I now crave one.
 
I've never had a Twinkie.

But I heard a rumor someone in Mexico was negotiation to take over.

That, I assume, would be Bimbo. The largest baking company in the world. They already own the likes of Arnolds, Freihofers, Entenmanns, Sara Lee, Stroehmanns, parts of Wonder. I figured if anyone picked up parts of Hostess, it would be them.
 
Bimbo? Bimbo Bakery? I'm sorry, but all sorts of marketing campaigns just came to mind!

Heck, imagine what they could do with Sno-Balls, Twinkies, and Ho-Hos!:cool:

Yea unfortunate name (at least here in the states), however with the in-roads they are making, I imagine they will change the perception of that word.
 
Hey Pinot you have a movie on your hands if you throw in the Bimbo!!
 
..don't get me started on TastyCakes..
a movie? Coming out in December, "The Bobbitt", featuring Bimbo Baggins as Lorena!

y'know how folks say that a mind "works in mysterious ways"? Mine does.
