After Sunday night's loss to Wake Forest, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski had the following to say: "Nolan hyper-extended his knee at Maryland and has been dealing with that since - and unlike other schools we don't release our injuries - so I thought he played a strong game tonight."
After Wednesday night's loss to Miami, Coach K said, "We are not the same team these last two ballgames. It's almost like someone has come in and invaded their bodies."
In review: he blames the first loss on top-secret, hush-hush injuries that only he knows about and blames the second loss on someone (Aliens? The Duke football team?) invading his players' bodies. I think Coach K needs some time off.
While I don't think he'll be needing my help after the St. John's game on Saturday, I've compiled a handy list of excuses for Coach K to use the next time his team suffers a loss:
- Al-Qaeda
- Bigfoot
- Lousy defense
- Bush
- Steroids
- Dick Vitale
- The housing bubble
- Vaccinations
- Stay-at-home dads
- Mindy Cohn
- Werewolves
- Mike Krzyzewski

I'd like to thank Greg Barbera for filling in as guest DJ this week. He has done a great job and I hope you guys have enjoyed his entries as much as I have. Here is his final selection:I have often tried to explain the pure genius that is Turbonegro and it has often fallen on deaf ears. If you believe that one of the major tenets of punk rock is to confront, deconstruct, or vilify, then Turbonegro will need no explaining. Otherwise, the best I can do is throw out "Spinal Tap meets Ramones" and let you try to understand it from there.
