Deanna Nolan (the Pride of Flint) had a great game with 23 points, but it was not enough to overcome the coaching incompetence of Bill "Wayne Fontes Jr." LAME-beer as the Detroit Shock lost to Connecticut to end a second straight season of mediocrity. The 2003 "worst to first" championship run is fading in the rear view mirror just like the "World's Biggest Tire" as one drives down Interstate 94 near Detroit. This is way beyond tiresome, and a coaching change needs to be made or else the Shock has a front office even more stupid and clueless than that of the Detroit Lions. Which is something I never thought could even be possible.

In other Friday night sports news, my undergrad alma mater (Central Michigan) came up just short in a 20-13 loss to Big Ten school Indiana. But if you picked the Mighty Chippewas on the betting card and took the eight points the Hoosiers were giving, congrats...you are a winner!

Minnesota beat Tulsa 41-10 on Thursday, so looks like I was right on that one not being close.

On the other hand, maybe Eastern Michigan is not as pathetic as I thought, as they only lost by two to Cincinnati.

According to the Flint Journal, Central Missouri beat Lincoln (MO) 83-0. Maybe this is a typo, maybe not?

Arizona State 63-Temple (still sucks) 16...did I mention that Temple still sucks?
