Until Virginia upsets USC and sends Pete Carroll home crying.

Of course, we all know my obsession with #44.  Or I guess I now have to call him #7.  Singletary was drafted last week by the Kings as the twelfth pick of the second round.  He’s all grown up and headed to the NBA!  Come on, as though there were ever any doubt, right?  Right?  Heh.

Now, I have never really followed the NBA, except for the finals this year (is it really necessary, by the way, to have best-of-seven series?  I know I’m not making any original arguments here, but seriously now.  Single elimination or a best-of-three is plenty enough.  I don’t need to same the same game 7 times in a week), so I don’t really have any commentary here.  But it looks like next year I will be following the kings, even though I know I should be following the Knicks.  Meh.

OK, back to BarBri.

I finally found one reputable source that has Sean Singletary going as #53 to the Jazz. Let’s hope Thursday works out for him. SI.com a while back had an article about him being an underrated draft hopeful. I’ve always liked ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

Abovethelaw.com finally posted today about the Duke article that I posted yesterday. I scooped you, ATL. I want credit, because I know David Lat sits and reads my journal all day long looking for new content for his little ATL blog.
Obviously, I am kidding on this post. I know I’m not the first, nor the last, to post about this. Don’t leave me sassy comments about how self-entitled I am and all that crap.

In what’s becoming a recurring theme here, Duke sucks. I know, I know. That’s like saying the sky is blue, or humans need oxygen, right? It’s basically something that any ol’ court could take judicial notice of (Sorry, I’ve been studying for the Bar, in case you haven’t noticed).

But in this post, I have judicial backing that Duke sucks. Not only does the court agree, but Duke’s own lawyers are arguing for this point. ESPN.com recently reported that a Kentucky judge agrees what we all know already: Duke Football is abysmal. Duke pulled out of the final three games of a four-game contract with Louisville. When Louisville sued for $450,000 in liquidated damages (the article incorrectly calls this a “penalty” when we all know, I think, that it can’t just be a penalty fee), the article states that Duke lawyers argued:

the Blue Devils’ performance on the field was so poor that any Division I team would suffice as a replacement. Duke is 6-45 over the past five years, 13-90 since 1999.

Ha. The article goes on to state:

…this is a threshold that could not be any lower,” [Judge Phillip J.] Shepherd wrote in a summary judgment issued Thursday, according to the paper. “Duke’s argument on this point cannot be reasonably disputed by Louisville.”

Hey Louisville, I hear Virginia is looking for some higher caliber opponents.* Sigh. I mean, we’re going to be awesome next year. What do analysts know? We’ve got an Elite 11 Camp quarterback and a pretty stellar RB coming in. Sure, Torrey Mack is our only 4-star recruit this year, but with a wide open ACC Coastal, aside from Virginia Tech, it’s certainly possible for the Hoos to sneak their way up to the top again. But I digress.

I hope ESPN continues to churn out these types of articles such that I can justify my incessant surfing studying online.

*But seriously, I would like to see UVA take on Louisville.

We’re past the halfway point in BarBri, and I can confidently say that I still do not know anything about the law.  Boo.

My daily schedule:  Bar Bar Bar Bar Bar Gym Bar Tennis Bar Sleep.  It is a pretty sad existence. But I still maintain that it’s not that bad.  I’ve got lots and lots of flashcards, but for some reason they just keep sitting on the table and not memorizing themselves.  Is anyone else’s flashcards doing that?  Maybe mine are broken.  They are supposed to help me in my studying, right?  Stupid things.

In unrelated news, does anyone know if Tunji Soroye is coming back to play a fifth year or not?  Are they at least in the process of obtaining a waiver?   We’ve got two new big guys coming in, one who is a three-star 6-10 dude and one who’s an impressive 6-11 four-star.  But still, I’d like to have the size and experience of the Tunj underneath the basket.  I wish they would go ahead and make an announcement either way on that so I can start convincing myself that we’ll be alright next year without Sean.

The Rock put up a good fight, but in the end, there was never any doubt that Tiger would pull off the birdie on the 18th.  Again.

Andrew and Roger both owe me $10 now.  Unless you, the reader, are going to report me for gambling.  If that’s the case, this never happened.  But if this is Andrew or Roger reading, you guys better pay up.

It’s tiger season here in the United States. Which means one thing: U.S. Open. It started off pretty rocky for Tiger Woods…after Day 1, I was already convinced that he would be struggling throughout the rest of the Torrey Pines what with his knee and all. But man, how exciting has the past couple days been?!

I don’t know what the point of me posting today was, but there you have it. Roger now informs me that he is teeing off now. I gotta go. Woo.

1. Spygate. Seriously. Let it go. I don’t care anymore. No one cares anymore.
2. Big Brown. He lost. He either had a bad day or was injured or the jockey was paid to pull up (how come, in the day and age of widespread accusation, no one has brought up yet?) or something else happened, but either way, he lost. Can we all go back to not caring about the Triple Crown unless it is to be used as an excuse to drink heavily? See, e.g., Foxfield.
3. The NHL. OK, we haven’t heard too much about the NHL lately - just a comment or two here and there on your regular blogs and shows. But still. See above re: going back to not caring.
4. Donaghy Donaghy Donaghy. Donagiveadarn. Maybe it’s because I only started following the NBA recently (it still pales in comparison to college, in my humble opinion), but are people really all up in arms about this? I have no horse in the race and therefore don’t really care.
5. Constitutional Law.

Perhaps I exaggerate a little, but sitting in the library today, underneath the florescent lighting, I noticed that I am really, really pale for (a) it being summertime and us having had lots of sun recently and (b) me being Asian. I am a disgrace to my people. I am wondering if I can realistically study by the pool at least on weekends or something. But let’s be honest - I’m just going to end up falling asleep. And then when I’m done, I’ll be tired from too much sun, and I’ll need to come back inside and take a nap. And then the next thing you know, it’ll be dinner and bedtime. Unmitigated disaster. Story of my life.
