Of course not every team that's faltering or playing well beneath expectation has a press or a fan base that are murmuring and complaining...as proven here...
I wish we had more of such supportive fans and less of the whiney ones who always want something more...

Northwestern's hopes are fading for an NCAA bid this year...
the Big Ten has at least SIX teams doing clearly better than Northwestern.
The just went to lowly Iowa and lost BIG - dropping to 5-7 in the league and basically tied with Michigan for 7th place.
They may really only have Indiana, Iowa, and Penn State as worse teams below them...
Plus their non-conference SOS is kinda weak, with wins over Central Connecticut, North Florida, NC A&T, Liberty, Tennessee State, and NIU.
Even their premier non-conference won over NC State looks pitiful since NC State is 2-8 and dead last in the ACC.
Northwestern's RPI currently sits at 78 with SOS at 84...not good for at large consideration...
Justin Bocot helped and hurt his team again last night...fouled out...but he was their leading scorer at the time and SIU actually led by as much as 9 points down the stretch. BUT SIU didn't have a basket for a 4 minute stretch and had only one basket over an 11 minute stretch from 11:19 to 00:34...with Bocot staying on the floor and going scoreless all that time, then fouling out near the end when the game was a 1-pt game with 16 seconds left.
Their board is, as expected, all lit up over the coach blowing another lead..and they want Lowery fired!
Rashad Austin followup...he is a senior at Midwestern State (TX), a D-II, and is doing pretty well.
He is averaging 21 minutes per game and 10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 36 blocks, and almost 60% FG accuracy...

More mascot uproar....this time the nickname "Midgets" has to GO!!!

Big Ten Conference talking with Texas about switching from the Big 12 to the Big Ten!

More issues at Indiana...a little controversy as some thought IU coach Tom Crean was a little too miffed about the final score being stretched out in Indiana's loss to Ohio State. Ohio State's William Buford went for a little bit too showy windmill dunk on the Hoosier home court after IU had gone to some subs...and Matta had called a late time out with BIG lead...
and later, Crean didn't really bother to shake hands with Ohio State's Thad Matta..
but isn't a little controversy what the press wants...they really seem to miss those Versace/Donewald days!!
Now for the daily update on global warming... and I am not going to change and call it something else, just because some who would be embarrassed because it's not warming any longer, want to try to alter the actual debate..
Check this out if you want...
just google the term "man made global warming" and you get more than 30,000,000 hits!!
Then try googling any four word phrase you can think of...such as
"in the beginning, God"
"we the people of"
"when in the course"
"twinkle twinkle little star"
"change you can believe"
"man made climate change"
..etc..
Guess which phrase gives not only more hits, but almost as many as all the others combined!!!
Yup...the term "man made global warming" has been used so much that the number of hits rivals any phrase you can think of...so why are the activists trying to change the basic terminology now??
Check yesterday's blog for the answer...
But note this headline...
"Global Warming Hearing Postponed Because of the Snow
A scheduled Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing discussing the impacts of global warming had to be postponed because of the snow and frigid temperatures."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,585426,00.html
....now that's funny - you have to admit!!
I just think this is a gas....kinda like a flood cancelling talks of how dry it's been lately.
The warming activists are really angry that people just don't buy into their argument and reasoning...
but then why should they when there's been so many lies and fraud!!
"A Pew Research poll released in October revealed that the number of Americans who believe that there is solid evidence that the earth is warming fell from 71 percent to 57 percent in a little over a year."
http://dailycaller.com/2010/02/11/global-warming-gets-the-cold-shoulder/
and I just heard a guy on TV claiming that it's "fact and unequivocal" that the past decade is the hottest on record and 2009 is the hottest year on record.
But of course, the guy isn't reading the real facts....which show the facts he is using are wrong, selective, and chosen carefully just to prove the desired point by people who have admitted openly they lied with their data...just read the past few entries in this blog...or check out this proof...
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2010/feb/11/global-warming-snow-job/
The the guy also just used the very same tactic he was damning....he used lies...
he just said...
There's no snow at the Vancouver Olympics and that's because of warming!!
OK - I am glad this guy brought this up...so here's more facts...
--IT IS SNOWING at the Olympic site...RIGHT NOW now as I type this, and it was snowing yesterday so the guy has no excuse, he simply doesn't know the FACTS..
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61954L20100210
--the actual site of the Olympics averages a base of over 70 inches of snow...but in some years, especially the "El Nino" years, there's less.
BUT - currently there is 35 inches of snow base....
35 inches...nearly 3 feet...
so how can those reporters claim there's NO SNOW!!
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/hotstories/6857855.html
Anyway...what is this "El Nino"?? Believe it or not, there are people claiming that El Nino is part of and proof of global warming!!
But this blog allows only real facts, not fairy tales...
El Nino is a reoccurring weather event/pattern that has been happening for several centuries at least...
South American fisherman and sailors first gave the phenomenon the name "El Nino" almost 125 years ago after observations by generations of similar fishermen...and they noted that every few years there were strong, warm southwesterly winds heading up into the Pacific coast of Central and North America.
In fact this link says it's actually been happening for at least 5,000 years...so are you sure you want to claim it's part of the recent global warming claim, because the facts will make that argument look really foolish!
http://www.scielo.cl/pdf/chungara/v40nespecial/art03.pdf
the fact that Vancouver bid on the Olympics over a decade ago, not knowing for sure what the weather was going to be like in 2010, then finding that it's a pretty strong El Nino year, has absolutely NOTHING to do with climate change.
MSNBC keeps bringing in Bill Nye as their top science expert...
I saw Nye again last night on TV...
the guy is funny, he basically makes a living as a clown-like character trying to teach kids science with a 7th grade approach to simple science and experiments.
He doesn't even have a science or chemistry degree, he has a degree in mechanical engineering.
Even his own biography says he got his start first as a stand-up comedian, then on Saturday Night Live and Comedy Central as a comedian....so tell me again why I am supposed to take the guy seriously as a global warming expert??
(but then I guess an ex-sportscaster and a lesbian activist are no more believable)
So isn't this a little like using Jerry Lewis as an serious expert on Constitutional Law?
Or using Groucho Marx as a serious expert to give testimony on tobacco research??
Speaking of MSNBC, did you see where their TV ratings have dropped so low, that it is rumored several of their main shows are about to be axed??
Here's a discussion saying...
"NPR's News Blog is reporting today that Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, may soon be ending. Ratings have slipped .."
I guess people can only stand so much lack of actual news or facts and just ripping of the reporters on other channels and ripping of people who have no influence on national policy (eg- Palin, Rush).
