Where did the point spreads come from?

Walzy31 makes up the spreads and he posted them here.

Personally, I think the Amherst line is a bit low and the Brandeis line is too high.

Oh ye of little faith.   

[Rhodes Scholar]

A faith that can move mountains is one thing. A faith that can overcome Amherst's huge height advantage is another.

I learned a long time ago not to bet on sporting events. Now you know why.

The only betting I do on sports is the superbowl boxes.  And maybe a 12 pack with by friend Sam if the Dolphins play the Steelers, straight up no spread.

Nice job by the Stockton Men's team this season.  It doesn't seem that way now but you guys had a great season.  You all know how hard it is to get to the Sweet 16.   You gave us all a memorable weekend in the opening round last week at home and you left it all on the court at Plattsburgh.   The alumni are very proud of what you accomplished this year.  Thanks for all the hard work.   

Good luck to all the seniors as you move on to bigger and better things !!

Here is how the voting is going so far and there is no runaway winner yet.   Hopefully the games will be as close as the voting.   If Amherst stays hot from the 3 I think they will advance to the finals.  As far as the other game, I haven't seen either team but I have a strange feeling that Washington might be playing for the championship.

I just read this, Danny Federici of the E Street Band has passed away after a fight with cancer.

In the month of May the VFW distributes Buddy Poppies.  Please take time to give a dollar and take a poppy.  The proceeds of this go to aid the Disabled Vets

In Flander's Field
by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields.

Former TCNJ player, Kelly Williams ('93), was named head men's basketball coach at has alma mater today. Perhaps he can find a way to guide the moribund TCNJ basketball program to their first NCAA playoff win since 1989.

Here's a great article from ESPN.com about former Montclair State/NJCU player Harold Williams who managed to get traded from the Washington Generals to the Harlem Glodetrotters.

Can anyone here give me some info on Abdoulaye Ouedraogo? There is a substantiated rumor going around that he visited Kentucky within the past few days, met with the coaches, and might be enrolling in Kentucky to play hoops there.

[Rhodes Scholar]

Ouedraogo did transfer, but not to Kentucky. He transfered to Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky. Georgetown is an NAIA D1 power that is known for picking up loads of transfers. He's listed on the school's roster for the 2008-09 season.
