Looks like coach cal will have to wait until next year for his chance to lead a team to 40-0. That's ok though, my Boilers don't even have a chance to dance this year.

Haha - yeah - they are underachieving even by my standards this year. Everybody knew the 40-0 thing was ridiculous! :) I really thought they would lose about 5 or 6 games about 2 months ago. Now, its looking like a 10 loss season with an early exit from both tourneys. But, hey, at least were not IU fans! :)

How you feeling about 3:10 this Spring?!

(I like your chances!)

Good luck with the races today (Saturday) and Sunday. I feel pretty good about a sub 3:10 this spring. Maybe not the Virginia Beach race. I'm going to try to bump my mileage up this month and target Carmel. The weather for tomorrows race does not look good.
