Oh boy, I had no idea there were so many chickens named "Little" among us. I mean, I nearly got run over by one before the game when he was running for the mini donut stand with only two thoughts on his mind: "Mini Donuts" and "Kenny Lawson is terrible." During a timeout in the first half as I was up getting a beer, one of them actually said TO ME that "I can't believe we failed to draw 10,000 people, this is pathetic." At halftime I had a chicken named Little spill beer on me because he was using his hands to illustrate what he apparently felt his words couldn't convey alone, namely that "If we're not making shots, we suck." These are just three examples, I have many more fine examples but I don't want to give credibility to chickens named Little by talking about them on a fine blog such as this. Ah, who am I kidding, of course I want to. That's what blogs are for.

For those of you scoring at home, this is called "Me taking the bait."

I'm prone to exaggeration. Its just what I do. When I was growing up, my brother and I would make fun of our Dad for exaggerating stories, and yet here I am, 30 years old, and I do the same thing. Oh, I try to catch myself when I can, and I'm getting better at staying true to the facts. But then I go and do something stupid like declaring Arkansas Pine-Bluff "The Worst Team Ever".

Folks, this is not exaggeration: Southern is the worst team in Division 1. That's not me saying that. Real Time RPI says that. There's 343 teams in Division 1, and Southern is #343. They're the worst, and the amazing thing is, they've got a two-tenths point buffer between them and the next worst team, North Carolina Central. Its like Huey Lewis once sang, sometimes Bad is Bad.

Incidentally, Arkansas Pine-Bluff is currently #189, but that's mostly due to their schedule strength being the fourth toughest in the country. I suspect they'll be giving Southern a run for their money before all is said and done.

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.
