Well who did you want me to get?: the feeling of being backed into a corner by other individuals (read:Geoff Calkins) and going on the defensive. Frequently results in one making an *** of oneself.

Sam Young's nickname is "The Renaissance Man." His UCONN teammates gave it to him because he would always play grand piano in the hotel lobby's when the team was on the road.

I think they should have MVZ headband night. As I said on the Tillery chat, imagine a sea of fans in yellow headbands chanting "MVZ" in unison.

That would be awesome. As long as I get to hear some MVZ chants I'm good.


Grizzlock'd = A game changing defensive stop made by the Grizzlies.
