JUST A FEW BLURBS

***KENTUCKY - VANDERBILT***
A very sloppy wrestling...er, basketball game in Nashville last night. Vandy's game plan was simple: If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up. The game was full of surprises, the refs actually called some of the walking violations and there was an actual carrying or palming violation. Vanderbilt could have tied the game with 2 seconds left, but their big man, AJ Ogilvy, grabbed a long pass and proceeded to miss an 8-foot push shot. On the bright side, in two years the NCAA will forfeit this game to Vandy after discovering some inappropriate recruiting tactics by Kentucky coach, John Calipari. Of course, he'll probably be coaching at USC by then.

***SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS***
From Alex Kaseberg: Some controversy at the Vancouver Olympics. Today three of the men’s figure skaters tested positive for Appletinis.
From Alan Ray: "How do you spot a curling team's dorm at the Olympic Village?" "Their floors are always extremely clean."
Reggie Hays (Fort Wayne News-Sentinel), on last week's Daytona 500: "The race was delayed while officials worked to fix a pothole. They considered using professional Highway Department workers fix it, but were afraid the fans would get restless during the two-year wait."

***FROM BUSTER OLNEY'S COLUMN***
Satchel Paige's "Rules For Staying Young"
1. Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood.
2. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
3. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move.
4. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society -- the social ramble ain't restful.
5. Avoid running at all times.
6. And don't look back -- something might be gaining on you.
