5 Picks

January 23, 2009 05:30 by author

A weekend without big games means I can go back to picking meaningless games wrong. Yay!!!

New York Knicks (-6.5) over Memphis Grizzlies - In the "life's not fair" department, please add the case of Marc Iavaroni. He was given a year and half to win games with a team that starts three rookies and they traded his best player for Kwame Brown (seriously!). The new HC will have the brutal task of trying to slow the "Rooster" down at the Garden.

West over East in the Senior Bowl - It might be South over North, but with all those USC players, I'm going with their team. What do you mean our quarterback is Ben Olsen? (Update: It is South over North and our QBs are Pat White and Cullen Harper.)

Tennessee Vols (72-66) (-2.5) over Memphis Tigers - Home team! Both teams are lacking in the point guard department, so offensive execution will be a 40-minute struggle. The Vols press might find some success and they could use the free points.

Washington Huskies (74-70) (Pick 'Em) over UCLA Bruins - Why not look cross-town for an upset special? The Bruins tend to struggle in Seattle and they continued their offensive ineptitude Thursday night by blowing a double-digit second half lead before a late winning rally. Keep your eyes fixed on the Huskies newest dimunitive firecracker (think Nate Robinson) Isiah Thomas. (Insert your Anuche Brown-Sanders joke here)

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (82-79) (+2.5) over UConn Huskies - The Irish have climbed this mountain well in the past and they take on all-comers in their home digs. Strategically, I don't understand how UConn's length does not eliminate Luke Harangody, but he seems to get his 25 and 10 no matter what. This is my Irish green suit game for Mike Brey, so don't disappoint Mikey!

Speaking of the Rooster and Isiah Thomas, one of the more unbelievable things about Isiah Thomas is how great a drafter he was. Why couldn't he have scouted other players as well? One of those mysteries we will never understand.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
