Catching up

After a thrilling weekend, and a thrilling Duke win, it's good to be back.  I was amused; the broadcasters -- and everyone else -- was ranting about the play of Jack White, the Australian who never plays, but, with the game in hand and Notre Dame missing some bigs...well, he played pretty well.  On the one hand, Coach K knows what he is doing; on the other, one wonders why he doesn't play more.  Not saying a lot more, but with the young players being young, doing occasionally dumb things, and their propensity for foul trouble... 

Up to 622 on the film list; watched "Sink or Swim," a feminist film from the 90s that was not very good, and "Dumbo," which -- I know this will surprise my readers -- I had never seen.  It was... ok; sort of cute, sort of funny.  I mean, I am not one for the genre, but it was decent enough, and some of the scenes were... if not dramatic, fairly well done.

We were discussing the MSU thing at work; aside from the joy over this in Waco and Happy Valley.. well, couple of things.  First, there are two scandals here; one is the Nasser thing; the other is how people are now poking around at the other sports and deciding there is something there.  I mean, there is, but I wonder how people will react if both Izzo and Dantonio go at the same time; let's face it, beating Big Blue means something up there... to say nothing of the fact that it's not like Izzo is Rick Pitino.  Anyways, I pointed out that it is getting to the point that some school will go and start appointing a counsel for each team (hell, it could even work at Mount Union) who could...well, handle these things.  Of course, it would be better if players didn't pull any shit, especially, say, rape, but no one is that naive to expect that to happen...
