ESPN's College Basketball Preview

One of the perks of being rated nationally is that you get your scores on ESPN's Bottom Line. Casual fans see your name on the Worldwide Leader every day, and soon, their opinion of your program goes up -- or if they didn't even know who you were before, they do now. I first noticed this phenomena in 2003, when the Jays were ranked from December on. When I was away from Omaha and wanted the score, I used to have to rely on score boxes in the morning paper -- and it was a crapshoot whether they'd print the Jays score.

But when you're rated, ESPN shows your scores on Bottom Line all day, all night, and sometimes you even get highlights on SportsCenter.

Max Univers (not his real name) is a graphic designer and author of two books, neither of which you’ve probably heard of. A 2001 graduate of Creighton University’s Journalism program, Max takes time out of his busy nightlife to share his thoughts on Jays hoops here during the season.

Why Univers? Its his favorite font, plus it just sounds really cool as a surname.

Why Polyfro? Years and years ago, Max had a giant afro wig that he wore as part of a Halloween costume. Not wishing to retire its giant fro awesomeness after the holiday, he began wearing the wig out in public as part of his everyday ensemble. One night at a dance club, the DJ called out the moniker over the soundsystem. Max thought it sounded cool, and purchased the URL shortly thereafter.

More questions? Send me an email: max-at-polyfro-dot-com. I like jokes, story tips, and generally all correspondence involving Bluejay athletics. Emails that point out how stupid I am and/or where I should go after I die are not encouraged.
