So, I picked up a Nintento Wii last week, and it instantly turned me into a slacker. I’m not much into gaming anymore – I used to enjoy first person shooters on my PC when I was at Tech, but I never got into console gaming. However, Nintendo definitely got it right with the Wii. It is very innovative, and I think it’s something people of all ages would enjoy playing. The Wii already has me hooked.

Ok, enough about the Wii. I wanted to do a quick braindump after the layoff.

• Last Wednesday’s loss to Florida State shouldn’t have been a surprise to fans of Hokie basketball. The team had came off the biggest week of the program’s history, and Florida State was winless in the ACC going into the game. Couple those facts with the fact that it was a road game for us, the outlook for victory was not good. I had a bad feeling going into that game, and the result was not surprising. The statistic of the game: Florida State made 31 of 34 free throws.
• Uhm, what the heck is going on with Michael Vick? First they say he was carrying drugs in a fake Aquafina bottle at security at the Miami airport, and no doubt he gets an earful from the Falcons owner. Then SNL does an amusing skit about it. Now, they say there’s no evidence the bottle contained drugs.
• Major props to the Virginia Tech athletic department for letting in students for free to yesterday’s Maryland game (more on the game later). That was the best basketball environment I have ever experienced. Last night, the best home court advantage in the nation was Cassell Coliseum. Thank you, students, for showing up. That was awesome.
• Jamon Gordon’s post-game interview with Mike Burnop was hysterical. His nose got busted up in the game, and he said he looks like Doug from Nic@Nite. He said he needs to get it fixed, or all of his ladies are going to leave him. He also guaranteed a win at Miami on Tuesday. I wasn’t very keen on that, as that is bulletin board material for the other team, but I know he was just caught up in the moment.

That’s it for now. I hope to have something about the Maryland game up soon.
