| Question 1: After losing its first game of the season against Campbell University 61-38, the UNF women’s basketball team defeated Campbell 61-51 Feb. 14. Where did the dramatic change come from? | |||
| Who cares? We won. It sure is a nice change of pace from consistently losing our men’s games. | All I know is free stuff was given out, which is exciting, win or lose. | Maybe the Campbell girls ran out of soup, which dehydrated them, and caused their bad performance on the court. | They figured they couldn’t lose to a team called the Camels. |
| Question 2: The Jacksonville Jaguars recently released their longtime star running back, Fred Taylor, after his numbers and playing time declined last season. What does this mean for the Jaguars? |
|||
| The Jaguars started to pass the torch last year by relying on Maurice-Jones Drew more. However Fred Taylor will be missed and will never be fully replaced. | I’m surprised the entire Jaguar team hasn’t been released. It sucks. | One less player. Let’s hope his replacement makes the loss worth it. | The Jaguars will have to throw their players across the field and then toss the ball, in order to get them down the sideline. |
| Question 3: After a raging wind ripped a 40-foot pine tree across the third fairway, bad weather postponed part of the Pebble Beach National Golf Tour. Would sports be more entertaining if athletes played through bad weather? | |||
| It’s not like a downed tree could actually slow down a golf match more than the already snail’s pace at which it proceeds. But, seeing more mud and blood would make anything more interesting. | Definitlely. Nothing wrong with a good obstacle course. | Did you see the third Harry Potter? Those wizards flew around dodging bludgers during a lightning/dementor storm. Bad weather = awesome. | Actually, I burped in the tree’s direction and caused the delay. Sorry, Tiger! |
| Question 4: At the NBA’s Slam Dunk competition, Nate Robinson, 5-foot-9, leaped over Dwight Howard, 6-foot-11. Do you think height matters in the NBA? | |||
| Sure it does. Robinson just has ups.For everyone else, you better be at least 6-foot-5 before bringing it. | No, my sister is taller than me, and I still beat her on the court. | Of course not. Very large feet and powerful thighs can do wonders. | No, just run into people at full force, and you will be in good shape. |
