Hey, Pick. Off subject, but what’s your take on the new HBO melodrama? I’m not a professional degenerate like you, but after three tries, it seems unrealistically silly and a horrific waste of solid talent. Perhaps they could introduce a few more characters.

The WVU game has blowout loss written all over it. Even good teams tend to have very bad days in Morgantown. It is just a surreal descent, like something out of Dante. 80,000 fans, all related to each other, wearing camouflage, and drunk on moonshine (which serves as an antidote on Sunday at the snake handling services). Opposing teams are not so much intimidated by the WVU players. They are just afraid they may never resurface from this underworld.

Pick: The ND coach 'never had it'...really? Taking Cincy to BCS games wont be happening again for many moons...although he should have been canned for allowing the kid to film practice when it was blowin 50 mph. Was filming some meaningless spring practice really worth that? The bigger question should be how/why in the world is OU opening AT UTEP???!!!

Ain't no professional basketball related questions will be answered by a professional writer on this column....

I heard the talking heads this morning wondering if & when Linsanity would hit a wall, the wall he will hit, will be a wall named Carmelo.... Melo thought he would be the king of New York but instead a 2-time released NBA minimum wage Asian player from the Harvard who sleeps on his brother's couch is all the rage in the Big Apple & beyond....

If Melo can't fit in with Linsanity & the Knicks fade in the playoff race, those are the headlines I want to read.... By the way, I can't stand Melo or Bron-bron....

I'm failing to see what's so scary about TCU.

This isn't "Rose Bowl" TCU.

This is "We lost at home to SMU and gave up eleven billion yards to Baylor" TCU.

On top of that, who knows how many players will be able to return for the second half of a game after the new mandatory halftime drug tests?
