They had long discussions over at the WIAC site about this. They were more or less forced into this because they couldn't get any other team who wants to play the big bad teams in the WIAC. Only one game will be counted as a conference game though. I'm only being partly tongue-in-cheek here. Since they only have eight teams in the conference, they need three non-conference games to get a full 10 game schedule. Most of the other conferences in the area aren't in the same bind, so it's a dilemma for the WIAC teams every year.

A dilemma indeed.... in the OAC where there's 10 teams MUC only need schedule 1 non-conference game.... I see they've continued their love-fest with St. John Fischer.

So I'm sitting here doing my normal morning computer stuff, with the US/Greece BB game on in the background (btw, I discovered that soccer is the perfect game to have on in the background, because the occassional rise in crowd noise will alert you to anything that is about to happen that is worth watching)....

...and it occurs to me that a good patriotism litmus test might be whether you want the US team to win or not.

As I watch every other olympic sport, I emotionally want the US to win.  But I'm ambivalent in basketball.  I don't want the embarrassment of losing.

But the lure of the underdog is strong. 

And, it's bizarre watching a game where one side, the US, plays like it's an all-star game and the other side plays a team oriented game like we all learned to play it.

I often find myself actively rooting against the U.S. gymnastics teams, probably because of the announcers, who make every successful dismount from a disturbingly undersized 17-year-old from Iowa sound like the greatest American accomplishment since the invasion of Normandy.

Commendable job. 

Just can't let it go at that though....

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.

I was talking with TDT and he told me that he thought he had developed some jock itch since he's been living in Naples but it turns out it was just a bad case of Gonorrhea.

Way to go VDT.

It can't be all that bad because they need such small jocks.

TDT,
Let me know if you need "the prescription" called in again.

Sincerely,

Crazy shiiznit today on Obstetrics:
250lb pregnant woman (220 before pregnant) whose husband is deployed came in because she thought her water broke at 7am. I made the unfortunate error of asking "What were you doing at 7 am when your water broke?"

"Ummm..... do you want to know the truth?"
"Sure."
"Using my vibrator" :o
Now accepting new patients. All bills must be paid in scotch shortly after any services rendered.  Sorry TDT, no problems below the waist.


Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

That episode must be protected under doctor/patient confidentiality.  And if it isn't, then it should be.

(And that should learn you to answer "sure" to that question.)
