Don't they make us sick most of the time anyway? Especially those 'Iron Dooks'
boosters...:)
Besides, the proper spelling for a Dook hater, like myself, is D O O K, not 
duke.

Try New Mexico State before UC Santa Barbara and UNLV - Neil McCarthy's teams
have been very consistent with JUCO's.  The Big Waste will probably not even
get one team past the second round this year...unfortunately.

As far as the WAC is concerned, don't forget UTEP, BYU, and New Mexico...three
(semi) solid teams with *big* homecourt advantages in WAC play....
