Happy New Year

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Out with the old and in with the new. See ya, 2013; hello, 2014. Without any further ado, let there be links!

-- Any other season, we would probably all be royally cheesed off if there were no Flyers to be found on anyone’s first, second or third “All Atlantic 10 Team.” With the flexibility of this year’s roster, not so much. We should actually take it as a compliment to UD’s “deep depth”:

-- When UD faces Ole Miss on Saturday evening in Oxford, Archie is gonna have to find a way to stop Marshall Henderson from doing this again:

-- TSN Mike profiled USC’s Andy Enfield when he and the Trojans visited UD Arena last week:

-- Could college basketball be a one semester sport? The Wall Street Journal seems to think that it should be:

-- Check out 11 of America’s most scenic and significant basketball hoops:

My favorite hoop was one I used to spy on the West Side of Dayton while riding the “Blue Goose” back and forth to University Hall my freshman year. It was a dirt basketball court with a chain link fence running thru it near one of the hoops. I always thought it would make a great picture, but never stopped to take it.

-- The Younger Swampette tipped me off to this kid who is the next YouTube sensation-- 15 year old Seventh Woods from South Carolina:

His name comes from the bible quote “And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested.”

-- Talk about blowouts! Check out the boxscore for this supposed “basketball game” between Southern University and something called Champion Baptist College:

Then take a gander at the attendance -- 210 hardy souls. They should each get a Rolex for sitting thru that mess.

-- Belated congrats to Tom Archdeacon of The DDN for winning the USBWA’s award for “Best Column of 2013”:

-- Speaking of writing is it just me or has editing become passé in magazines anymore? While perusing a recent issue of Sports Illustrated I noticed two fairly obvious grammatical errors. One of them referred to a car careering out of control. Really?

-- Did someone say “writing?” Here are some samples of some pretty pithy penmanship -- the winners from the Fark.com “Headline of the Year” contest:

NFL to have its first full-time female referee in 2014. Instant replay on penalties not necessary since women never forget anything a man does wrong

Dakota Fanning to appear nude in upcoming film. No word if we'll be seeing South Dakota or just North Dakota

Adultsineurope killed by euthanasia

Lab scientists get regenerated human heart tissue to beat on its own, try to bury it under the floorboards to make the **** thing stop

Yoko Ono goes on tour of Pennsylvania fracking sites. Because if there's one thing Yoko Ono knows about, it's using pressure to break up rock groups

Prosthetic hands stolen from car, victim unable to come to grips with loss

Massive Lego spill shuts down West Virginia highway. Whoa, that's just a few blocks down the road

Cardinals hire new manager


-- We can’t forget about the new media either now, can we? Here are the “Tweets of the Year” according to a site called Mandatory.com:

I totally understand how batteries feel because I'm rarely ever included in things either

T NOW! What do we want? MORE TIME-TRAVEL JOKES! When do we want them? RIGH

We'd be in a lot better shape as a society if the act of turning a ball cap around sterilized you

I bet Hell is sitting in front of every person you know while a slideshow of all of your deleted selfies is played on a loop.

I hide photos on my computer of me petting animals at the zoo in a file named FIREWORKS AND VACUUMS so my dog won't find them

I don't watch wedding shows and get excited about getting married but I do watch Dateline and get excited about being murdered

Being an adult is 99% wondering how you hurt your back


-- The history of Etch a Sketch, as told on an Etch a Sketch (with sketchy video goodness):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD5VlE_flpU#t=53

-- “The Sweet Tweet of the Week” comes to us from “The Hometown Coach” Mark Adams:

“SLU, GW, VCU, Dayton, UMASS have distinguished A-10 as a multi bid conference.”

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
