Coyne's Clippings

Hasn't been much to write about as far as things go, the Patriots keep rolling, the Red Sox have been pretty quite, UMass men's basketball is as inconsistient as ever, and Providence men's basketball can't win...

Dan Shaughnessy has a feel good story on the Pats.

PS - What's up with Pittsburgh men's basketball? They lose to Bucknell and Georgetown, then lose AGAIN last night to St. John's!?! And Georgetown took Syracuse to overtime, IN SYRACUSE! What in the wide-world of sports is happening in the BIG EAST? I guess that bodes well for PC (currently 0-3) in that you could go 10-6 in the conference and be right in the middle of things. I guess it also reflects on how wide open the BIG EAST is this year, and that there are no power teams. It looks like the ACC all the way.
