This Week in the Valley: May 28

|
Its the last week of May, which means it should theoretically be warm and sunny. Instead its 49 degrees, overcast, and feels like basketball season. If it wasn't for the crew mowing my yard as I enjoy a tasty beverage in my kitchen while praising the saints that my association fee covers yard work, it would be hard to tell that its spring. Or nearly summer. Since it feels like fall anyway, we might as well talk hoops, right? On to this weeks notes:

Its MVC Baseball Tournament Weekend, but I still want to talk basketball. Even if it is 80 degrees and sunny, its never too early to talk hoops! Plus, the Jays and Salukis play in the tourney this weekend, so...

Anyway, this weeks links are after the jump.

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.
