Training camp opened up yesterday for the NBA so the enthusiasm in New Jersey for the new look Nets is absolutely positively the talk of the town. Forget the Jets or Giants or the Mets collapse, or even psycho Stephon the Big Apple is buzzin over Brook Lopez and Chris Douglas-Roberts... or not. It looks as if the New Jersey Nets aren't getting quite the Season Ticket Holder bump from the addition of Yi Jianlian as hoped, as they are already putting up a deal on Travelzoo for 50% off tickets for 23 of their home games. They only play 41 total home games the entire year, so... I'm guessing they expect no one to show up for any of their games at full price. That move to Brooklyn probably can't come soon enough for the miserable Nets.
As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big
