Let There Be Hoops!

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- The Red and Blue game may be three weeks away; the first exhibition game two weeks after that and the home opener another six days hence, but the UD's Men's Basketball squad started practice this week and that's good enuf for me!

Let's go to the video!

Still TBD are the date, site and opponent for UD's 'secret scrimmage' which will take place in lieu of a second exhibition game.

-- In regards to the Dyshawn Pierre situation, I have decided to stay on the sidelines. The reality is that I'm 225 miles away from campus; 65 years old; not an expert on Title IX and the Elder Swampette is the barrister in our family, not me. I don't know what really happened and neither do you. My opinion does not mean jacksh*t and it's not gonna change the outcome one iota. Whatever happens, happens.

From a purely basketball standpoint, can UD survive their first ten games without DP? Jeff Eisenberg from Yahoo Sports tries to answer that question:

Looks like I might get my wish and Fantasy Football betting sites will either go away or be heavily regulated: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/06/sp...smtyp=cur&_r=0
