With Leather found this 3/27/2008 on lioninoil.blogspot.com [flag]

Davidson has had a great run into the Sweet 16 this year, felling Gonzaga and then shocking Georgetown to become this year’s darlings. And Davidson students haven’t had it all that bad either, even before last week. First, they have free laundry services for students. And now the school is paying for its students to head to Detroit to see the Wildcats take on Wisconsin. Any student who wants ... [link]

A Shady Victory

The Fantasy Sports Review posted 3/27/2008 from www.chicagosportsreview.com

The only thing you cannot say is that Davidson outplayed Georgetown. What you can say is that the officials - Tom O'Neill, Paul Janssen, Doug Sirmons - of the Georgetown-Davidson game cheated; the game was fixed; the officials are racist; all of the former. Call it what you want but those three officials did not want the Georgetown Hoyas to defeat the Davidson Wildcats.
