That's why I didn't tell them. Nor is it clear to me that Coach K will "never" win another national title, although he's certainly not going to win it this year. THF — Correct.

Well, sort of. I am just trying to follow the analogy, but I am not sure that the rejoinder fits. If not having someone confirmed is the worst thing to happen to Obama, then he will have the easiest administration in history. If you had told someone that Coach K would never win another national title back in 2001 or told George Bush when he made his political capital remark that his party would lose Congress and the Presidency, back in 2005, people would have thought you were crazy. Two outspoken Republicans, after appearing invincible, Coach K and Bush, did not had a good four years from 2005-2009. The same Coach K who told Roy Williams that if he ever turned up in the ACC, that he would whip his ass, and the President who urged his opponents, to bring it on. The point about hubris is a good one, in my opinion, but if people are going to get pissy, then maybe we should not only drop politics, but also drop the reference to God getting involved in basketball, so why not just lighten up in general. At least K did have partial success in his vacation job, getting a bronze and a gold. Maybe Bush should go back to running the Texas Rangers. He was pretty good at that. The Rangers are known as one of the greatest franchises in the history of major league baseball and were the place where A-Rod learned the ropes of major league baseball success, eh, maybe not such a good idea for George.

But there is no way anyone can say these are just other games. People don't take to the streets, burn cars, paint faces, wear costumes for "just another game's" sake.

I laughed my butt off. I was in APE and a dook fan who was going on about how dook was going to massacre UNC told me that next time dook would contol Ty and Tyler would "get no more lucky threes". I told him that dook had no answer for Ty now and they never will. I also told him that no one could control Psycho T. He stuck his tounge out at me. High school guys are so immature sometimes.
