By the time you read this, I’ll either be on my way to or already in Savannah, Joe’jah to witness some nuptials.  I’ve never been to Savannah.  Since it’s the last weekend in February, I should be able to interpolate from the average temps to expect a high of about 69 degrees and a low of about 46 degrees.  However, I’m getting 60 and 43.  In other words, I’m getting cheated out of some heat…I’m not happy about it. 

What does any of this have to do with The Morning After, sports, or anything in general?  Nothing; I just needed an intro to TMA and was having blogger’s block.  Onto the sports:

Hopefully you’ve been able to catch our weekly college basketball chronicles and the sweet(!!) graphic of the polls.  We’ll be touching more on this weekend’s college roundball happenings in this coming Tuesday’s TWTWCBB; but man, if your team was ranked in the top 5, there’s an 80% chance they lost last week.  Pitt was the only one to make it through this week unscathed and will likely be our new #1 tomorrow.

Oh yeah, Blake Griffin got jacked up.

What do the numbers 18 and 54 have in common?  Well, 54 is a multiple of 18, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.  18 and 54 are the current streaks that the Memphis Tigers own: 18 straight wins and 54 straight conference wins.  Memphis should break deep into the top 5 tomorrow. ..for the third straight year.

Kyle Shrub Busch is back to his 2008 ways – winning everything in front of him.  Yesterday, he made history by turning left faster than anyone two times in one day.  Today, Busch will be racing with the big boys out in Cali.  Some race notes: beisbol and foobaw aren’t the only sports with steroids problems; even though he owned up to last week’s Big One, Junior better watch his back; and Brian Vickers will be today’s point man at Fontana.

Arbitration has been good to MLBers this year.

A linky for Mikey – Mickelson shoots 64 at Riviera and extends his lead to 4 shots.

Lou Holtz will be back on the thidelineth thith fall..

When Jim Calhoun advises you to shut up, you should probably heed said advice.

Players going AWOL, mysterious stress fractures, ridiculous hyperbolic comparisons…sounds like the NFL Combine’s in full swing to me.  And, what good’s the combine without a list?

As a final linky favor, here’s the winners of the Oscars that have been prematurely revealed.  Now, you can just tell your wife/girlfriend the winners and you can control the remote tonight!  It’s a good thing too, cause Hugh Jackman’s gonna be drunk and nude and you can avoid that…unless that’s your thing, of course.
