Which will be never. Psych!

Good, because I am not sure your fans will appreciate my band's distinctive brand of alternative indie rock, being that they much prefer prancing about to extended club re-mixes of "It's Raining Men" and Cher medleys.

I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.

Is that what passes for music in Mojito-land these days?

You should check out some new stuff, like this chick Lily Allen. You probably haven't heard of her because she comes from an entirely different country. In Europe.

According to sources, Marquette coach Tom Crean, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Memphis coach John Calipari, Gonzaga's Mark Few, Notre Dame's Mike Brey, Texas' Rick Barnes, Texas A&M's Billy Gillispie and Villanova's Jay Wright are expected to be candidates for what is one of the few premier jobs in men's college basketball.

has anyone heard more?

T. I hear what you're saying, but Kentucky was once nothing much, before it had its first great Coach. Is Duke now premier? Was it before K? I'm not seeing him leaving, although from Gatti's post I suppose he already flew there for an interview or something.

edit: motherfucker. Izzo from a few weeks back:

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo figures the Spartans' four Final Four trips, one national championship and 10 straight trips to the NCAA tournament in his 12 years as coach have put his program among the nation's best.

But he said the Spartans haven't quite earned the same national reputation as programs such as North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky.

"I don't think we're there yet," Izzo said. "We're in a different situation. We want to say we reload, but we really don't because recruiting isn't the same. ... We still just don't get to snap our fingers and be on every recruit that programs of that stature do."

I was thinking about this last night, while watching Kansas flounder against Southern Illinois. Hell, look at what VCU has done this year. Throw in Butler and Winthrop for good measure. These coaches have done remarkably well without being part of a big time program, giving them access to every blue chip player in the country.

I understand that the Donovans and Izzos have big game coaching experience, have grown their programs from not much into the second tier of basketball elite and have won it all and that they are desirable at a place like Kentucky because of that.

But why isn't a coach like VCU's Anthony Grant given a good look? Sure he's new, but look what he did with a team that could never compete for the players Duke, Kentucky or hell, Tennessee could go after. Imagine what he would have done with some serious quality on his bench. He's good with Xs and Os, from what I've seen. He likes to run and trap. Kentucky fans love when their team runs and traps. He seems like a good fit.

I guess you have to move your way up the ladder, but if I was running a big time hoops school, I would pick someone like him 100 times over Rick Barnes. That guy sucks. Hell, Thad Motta doesn't know how to get the most dominant post player the ball inside. He sucks too (although whatever he did at halftime last night, he did very well).

I come from Europe and PLF has heard of me.

Burn.

Maybe you've never heard of a little music festival that just took place last week in Dallas called South by Coacharoo City Limitspalooza, but if you knew anything about music, you'd know that it is actually not a little music festival but rather a really big important music festival, and that your lover Lily Allen was a big hit there. Except she's not your lover because she is way cooler than you. I read that on Pitchfork.

Speaking as a fan of a team that hired on one hit wonder (Monson) the last time around, the only knock I have on Grant is that VCU has made one tournament run in one year. Rather like George Mason's coach last year, if I were Kentucky, I would want to see more than one year of over acheiving.

I only play wind instruments. Perhaps I would play lead sackbut.

He knew how to get him to sign a letter of intent which is pretty important.

I think Tubby was a fairly young relatively unknown guy from Georgia (2 yrs.) and Tulsa (4 yrs). so UK has gone for the less well known before.

What do I know? I'm only a Lion, before that a Cougar, and before that a (gasp!) Saxon.

Hmm. An extinct waterfowl. A color in the "pink" category. A large cat. A bovine.

My highschool mascot fell victim to politically correct rebranding. We were the Rebels, but at some point between my sophmore and junior year, we got rid of the personification of Johnny Reb. The general agreement was that the Rebel concept applied beyond the Confederacy, and we were now non-confederate rebels. Apparently that wasn't enough for whoever it is that gets in a snit about such things, so they're the Mavericks now.
