Can you feel the excitement of the opening tip for another season of CSU basketball?

















I attended tonight's exhibition between Lake Erie College and Cleveland State. Lake Erie is a Division III school. Remember, there's sloppy and then there's Division III sloppy. Lots of carrying calls, over and back, guys tripping over the three-point line, double dribble, you name it, it was in there. Lake Erie also lends itself to juvenile cheers like "Lake Erie is all wet", "Lake Erie stinks", etc.

The new mascot debuted tonight as well. WTF? It appears to be the retarded nephew of the Burger King.

















The game itself was a yawner, as can be expected. CSU has only five returnees this year, so it's a crapshoot as to how they will perform this season. Saw some good things. Saw some bad things. As did the "thousands" in attendance.

















CSU cleared the bench at the end, during an easy win. Next home game is against John Carroll on Thanksgiving weekend.

On the way home, XM had a King Biscuit Flower Hour, featuring David Bowie. Just a reminder, you can hear similar concerts at Wolfgang's Vault. They keep adding new concerts, so it retains some freshness. I had a hankering for some live "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh. "Bases are loaded and Nixon's at bat, Playin' it play by play...Time to change the batter." Some concerts are available for download at a price.

Hugh Grant is dumping another Liz. That's the Warhol one. For lots of cash.
