It's at times like this - Barca look terrible, the Hawks have lost two in a row, the Thrashers are eyeing another late collapse (although they had a huge third period on Tuesday night that might have saved them), Michigan failed to sign any of the top eight players in-state, and Virginia blew a chance at the ACC title last night with a loss at lowly Miami - that I turn for inspiration to Homer Simpson.
