If the UConn Men's Basketball Team were in the top 25...

...would Jim Calhoun be taking a "temporary" leave of absence for medical issues, "none of which involve previous medical conditions"?

It's amazing how bad having no half-court game can make a coach feel!

Quick Takes

1) Kennedy bows out of NY Senate Race
Caroline, We Hardly Knew Ye!
2) Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma Finger-Sync at the Inaguration
The New Milli Vanilli?
3) Obama to Close Gitmo and Find New Home for Prisoners
50 States unanimously shout "NIMBY!"
4) 4.1 Billion Dollars in Bonuses at Merrill Lynch
Yeah, but, remember, they have to pay for their own parking
5) Disgraceful 100-0 Girls Basketball Rout
Winning coach explains he was simply aiming for
a "year-end bonus at Merrill Lynch"

From the NYC sports pages

PSAL girls' basketball round-up (FiveBoroSports.com January 16, 2000)

Grover Cleveland 56, Frank Sinatra 36:

Analiz Fernandez had 17 points to lead Cleveland (10-1 Queens B West). Frank Sinatra is 4-6.

It's not the 4-6 record that's troublesome, ladies; it's losin' to a mediocre ex-President. C'mon!!!!

Speaking of historically named high schools...in Connecticut, I always look forward to when Enrico Fermi plays Joel Barlow! When else can a physicist go toe-to-toe with an early American poet?
