What to do with my brother?

[Lavabe]

He went to Louisville Law School, paid tuition for his stepson to go to Md, and loves the Holes. He can't understand why I wouldn't root for MD over Gonzaga (to improve Duke's strength of schedule). He thinks that Greivous Vasquez is an All-ACC first team guard. He thinks that the Big East will have three of the top four seeds.

And now he is all excited about Louisville's women's team.

What should I do with him? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Lavabe

Look him in the eye and tell him that "this too shall pass" and then shun him. :)

Are you really sure that he is your brother? You might want to check into that.;)

Get your parents to sign the papers. You know, THOSE papers...

[gvtucker]

I think you can only do that in Nebraska.....

[jimsumner]

"He thinks that Greivous Vasquez is an All-ACC first team guard"

He could be right about this one.

[devildeac]

I think you can only do that in Nebraska.....

He lives in Kentucky. Is that close enough:o?

Well, either THOSE papers or the OTHER papers...

yah, and the 3 #1 seeds. It's not likely but certainly possible...

That sounds like a cry for help. Maybe the Atlanta DBR Mafia needs to pay him a friendly visit.... :D

[sue71, esq]

Do you know of another family that would take him? Can you offer a trade... maybe your brother and some cash for, say, a pie?

That's not fair to the other family.

As they say, Lavabe... You can pick your friends, but you're stuck with your family... My advice would be to simply tolerate the insanity with a slight nod, a knowing smile, and a nice glass of scotch!

I raise my glass to you! Cheers!

Lavabe,

I just wouldn't buy him any Christmas presents. Do you think that'll help?

dth.

I completely disagree. A lovely hat, like CB&B's and a big ol' DUKE sweatshirt should do the trick.

Then steal every hat and shirt he owns so he's forced to wear them. :p

Not to be a contrarian, but my view is different: The Terp fans may hate Duke but, since they are not our rival, why we should we return the favor? The fans are losers ("If we win, we riot; if we lose, we riot"), but I don't hold it against the players or Gary.

I was cheering for the Terps against both Mich State and Gonzaga (and will also be against Georgetown today) -- it would be good for the ACC and Gary Williams deserves to win a few games.

Greivis Vasquez is a talented player and deserves a lot of consideration for all-ACC. I mean, when he played for the Venzuela national team against the US, Kobe Bryant guarded him.

Tough love.

And ditto what Sagegrouse said about the Twerps: they're not worthy of our loathing, just our scorn.

In good news for my family: my sister-in-law has recently seen the light. After a couple years of wanting to be a Tarheel, she visited Boone NC and App St and has decided to become a Mountaineer. A soul saved!

It sounds like he's happy to sample from the buffet of foolishness. As long as he's not hurting himself or others, no intervention is necessary. Be patient with his condition and humor him; it may throw him completely off stride. What he is experiencing may be acute, but not life threatening.

Why WOULDN'T you root for Maryland against Gonzaga??? And can you name 3 guards in the league better than Vasquez? I can only think of 2, and they both wear puke (i.e., light) blue.

[juise]

Today you can give him some good natured ribbing because his Cardinals lost by 14 to Western Kentucky.

[YmoBeThere]

Go Hilltoppers!

[sue71, esq]

Lavabe, have you come to any sort of a decision?

[Turk]

Where's Wilson to jump in with his usual assessment:

"Off with his head!"

As for me, I have no problem rooting for ACC teams when they play outside the ACC, with the exception of the Tacky Blues, of course.

[wilko]

Get him so drunk he is blind...
Then get him changed into a dress and leave him at the bus stop... passed out.

That oughtta make him rethink a few things..

Not the guy who played against the Hoya's last weekend . . .
