The whole gang will be there - Farting Al, Ken Taylor, Jon Martin, Marvin Hall, etc.etc. Heck, they may even coax old Wink to show up. Don't forget Mrs. Wink...Verna K. They made such a nice couple. |

Then they will most definetely cement their reputation as big-time CHOKE ARTISTS. This is Rooney's third, and last, chance at a national title. And with no "illegal" rosters in the final four, it should be a piece of cake. Pepp faces OSU in the semi's which should be an easy warm-up for them. The Buckeyes are decent but they aren't even the best team in the MIVA. They haven't played any team from the left coast this year and will face the biggest front line in NCAA history (Rooney, Hein, Winder). Hopefully they won't be shellshocked. I'd love to see a high-quality, close match...gotta get my money's worth!!! Penn State also shouln't be a problem. The Nitt. Lions had a tough time in their MPSF matches, splitting with BYU and losing to UCLA and Hawaii. Sure, they beat UCSD and USC but that's about as impressive as beating Harvard. If it's UCLA in the final, Pepp faces a program that has lost a lot of it's luster and mystique in the past five years. Nobody, including Scates, really knows who their starters will be. All the Bruin OH's have shown horrible flashes of inconsistency over the past few weeks. They can seem unstoppable one minute then go completely in the tank the next. Ironically, the one fly in the ointment that could ruin Pepp's chances is the prospect of playing a Bruin team in the Final Four, in their own Temple, with something to prove (that they deserved a berth in the FF). Don't count out PSU. This is the matchup they wanted! |

SonofBarcelonaBob-
After the Waves hammers the Bruins, would you prefer your "crow" with a nice mint sauce or perhaps Cajun style.

Hey, like I said in an earlier thread, I'm actually rooting for Marv. If there was ever a time when the forces were aligned in their favor, it's this year. On paper, Pepperdine should clearly be the favorite. In reality, that is mitigated by two overwhelming factors: 1. The propensity for Pepperdine to choke in the Final Four. 2. The fact that the Bruins are playing for a championship in Pauley Pavilion. Well...okay, there is a third mitigating factor, and this one is quite powerful. 3. The power of the WINK and his minions. |

You make some good points, and the pressure is certainly on Pepperdine. UCLA will go in pretty loose. I just hope that "nervous Marv" can hold it together. I can't bear the thought of seeing Al and his s---eating grin if the Bruins win. |
