The first Gonzaga Bulletin of 2008 hit newsstands yesterday, and if they had bothered to put it online when they could have, this blog would have been updated much sooner. If you happen to be in the Spokane area, be sure to pick one up; there's plenty of good stuff in the sports section this week.For those who like to follow sports from afar, I've got all your Bulletin links right here:
- Kevin O'Brien wrote a great article on former Bulldogs assistant Bill Grier coming back to Gonzaga for the first time as San Diego head coach. It's worth the read for Grier's characterization of the experience.
- Tony Schick has all your GU women's basketball updates. Thank God Heather Bowman is healthy again!
- Everything you ever wanted to know about Ray Giacoletti.
- Gonzaga Soccer is finally getting a new stadium. About damn time.
On a personal note, I just want to say I'm astounded at the number of Gonzaga writers interested in writing for the Sports section this year. Last semester we had trouble just finding people, now we have more than we ever wanted. I'm looking forward to reading all of your articles in the coming months.
Moving on...
The Bulldogs and No. 1-ranked Memphis tip off in just over 7 hours as of this posting, and I need to go to bed so I can wake up and watch it. As a fun little poll, what do you think Gonzaga student fans are going to be doing on an earlt Saturday morning: do they go easy on the drinking tonight in order to get up and watch the game? Do they brave an awful hangover to support the Zags? Or do they think Gonzaga has no shot and elects to sleep in tomorrow? In all honesty, my money's on the hangovers.
- The Spokesman's Jim Meehan has a preview for the big game tomorrow.
- Ever the diligent worker, Meehan also has a nice Q & A with Josh Heytvelt.
- One of my favorite sportswriters in the world, Bud Withers, examines the"Zag Effect" on the WCC.
- Withers also has a game preview.
That's all the news that's fit to print. I'll see you in front of the TV screen in 7 hours.
