My Beloved 63 Bloggees (Welcome Pete) :
I have fallen in love with a new free website to watch college basketball - http://www.espn3.com/ . If your high speed internet provider is included in the following list http://espn.go.com/espn3/affList you can watch numerous games free. If you remember from a blog last week, I was struggling to find a way to watch Saturday night's Ole-Miss/FL game which was being televised on CSS and not available on my DISH satellite. After 10 minutes of despair that night, I decided to try this ESPN3.com I have heard about. Presto....I watched the rest of the game right at my desk in my home office.
The website archives its games from one to seven days, so on Monday, I was able to watch the first 10 minutes of Saturday's Ole-Miss/FL game that I missed. (I know, I need therapy). It also looks like you can possibly watch games from your computer when you are away from home with its Remote Access feature.
I will be now checking http://www.espn3.com/ frequently for games I may want to view....and the price is right. Sorry, ESPN Full Court, I don't need you. Hey, this blog may finally pay off for you bloggees. NEXT
On Sunday, there was good news and a bit of bad news when Gator pre-conference victims battled with Xavier smashing Rhode Island on the road 72 - 45 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201101090485 . My guess is that it makes UF's win at Xavier even more special while on a lesser note, reduces some of the impact of the home win against Rhode Island. Because the NCAA Selection Committee emphasizes road wins http://www.suite101.com/content/understanding-the-ncaa-basketball-tournament-a102103 , this game turned out just right for the Gators. NEXT
Maybe the bad weather in the Northeast during December helped the Gators. What, you say? As a result of the snowstorms, Fairfield University's basketball team could not get to Gainesville to play the Gators on December 28th. I am talking about the 12 - 3 Fairfield Stags who on Sunday beat a conqueror of the Alabama Crimson Tide this season, St. Peter's, 70 - 43 and are on an 11-game swinning streak. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recap?gid=201101090201 . The Stags have developed into one of the top defensive teams in the country, ranked 7th as of last week http://www.fairfieldstags.com/news/2011/1/5/MBB_0105112928.aspx , and surely would have given Billyball problems a la Jacksonville University.

One of the purposes of the blog, is to provide info to help fill out the brackets during March, especially with respect to teams in the South. Such as, one of our new bloggees is boasting about his Old Dominion Monarchs and their 12 - 3 record http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/teams/oah/schedule . I am sold. What I love is that they have outrebounded every opponent on their schedule which includes ACC's Clemson and the Big East's Georgetown. In fact, in every game but two (Missouri and George Mason), the rebounding margin was at least eight. How impressive is that toughness! NEXT
I am sure he won't mind if I tell you that if you want to get the perspective of bloggee Kevin Brockway, the Gator hoops beat writer of the Gainesville Sun, click on http://brockway.blogs.gatorsports.com/ . I do it daily. NEXT
To football, it sounds like not-ready Florida DB Will Hill is declaring for the draft....it might end up just being the UFL draft http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/college/gators/os-report-floridas-will-hill-draft-01102011,0,1238106.story . NEXT
This just in....the Saints just missed another tackle on Seattle's Marshawn Lynch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GD5EUVIvWo THAT'S IT
Enjoy,
Barry
