The WKCR radio crew annoyed me Super Bowl eve. Hardly a word of encouragement for the Lions as they awaited Tommy Amaker’s magisterial, 23rd ranked Crimson. Truth be told, the rightful target of my annoyance was I. I wore no war paint. I talked no trash. No smack did I spit. I expected failure. The near loss to hapless Dartmouth led me to despair the coming events. Shame on me! And, more appropriately – Damn those Refs. The tin cup rattling, cross eyed jerks who officiated the game awarded the Cantabs 32 free throws to but 8 for our Blue! Four times the number of attempts! Long story short, the Lions get half the opportunities given the Crimson and they win. Just half! Despite the Cambridge bred crew miscalling the game, the Lions demonstrated their characteristic late game guts and closed to within one bucket with two and a half minutes left before falling 57-52. Can’t wait for March 3 visit of Tommy’s Boys to what promises to be a packed Levien. Better bring it, John Harvard.
Peace out and D up,

Closely fought game. Columbia was only down by 2 with 2:21 remaing. I was up Mohegan Sun showing the Saturday night amateurs how to win at blackjack and asked if they had a sports book so I could bet on the Lions prior to the 7pm start.seems that the Nevada congressional team has put a lock on sports betting in CT.
Ona elated note,howaboutJeremyLinscoring25 for the Knicks last night to lead the team to a victory over the Nets? His 12 points in the 4th quarter helped seal the deal and gain him a headline and phoo in the Sunday NYT.
