During the half time of yesterday's UCLA - Notre Dame game there
was a feature by Al Maguier on some cowboy and his wife that live
with their three children in a "back to nature" manner.  (What
this had to do with college basketball I was never able to figure
out).  At the end of the piece, Al made a statement to the effect
of he was sure every women in America would like to live like the
wife in this tale for at least one or two days.  I don't know if
NBC's switch-board lit-up, but I was sure offended by this obviously
sexist statement.  I think Mr. Maguier should stick to commenting
on basketball.  At least he knows a little, if not much, about that.
As far as knowing the secret desires of the entire female population
of this country, I will look for other sources rather than an ex-coach.

But then again, what can one expect from someone who later in the game
called a player a Michalangelo for having the smarts to call a time-out
when he was laying on the floor and would have been called for a travel
if he had moved.
