Facebook has no clue how much I love Kemba Walker – his 30 PPG in the Maui Invitational, his visible self confidence and chest pounding, and his swagger and leadership of my UCONN Huskies Men’s Basketball team.

But they know I don’t really know him personally, despite our two mutual friends.

Do I dare? This is kind of intimidating. I could easily just resign myself to yet another fan page. But that page hasn’t been updated by the moderators since pre-Maui when Walker scored 42 vs. Vermont.

Oh well, let’s see what happens. Either way – add or ignore – you’re really awesome, Kemba. Keep shooting.


UPDATE: foiled.

No hyperbole, I swear. Fordham is actually the greatest team in the history div. 1 college baseball.

The Lady Rams of my alma mater Fordham University got off the snide last night, and broke their 35-game losing streak, defeating the Manhattan Lady Jaspers 62-49 in the annual Battle of the Bronx.

Last year, Fordham set an NCAA record win 29 consecutive losses in one season. Their new recipe for success in 08-09, some dude named Randall Hurst, who led the team in scoring with 19 points in last night’s win.

I kid. The lovely and talented Miss Hurst (Junior, Forward) hit two three-pointers during a 19-4 run in the second half that put Fordham in control.

Despite the 2007-08 season of fruitlessness, Fordham didn’t even flirt with the NCAA record for consecutive losses – 58 by the 1987-89 Long Island University teams.
