Will SMU name its coach before or after the Kentucky Derby?

First Saturday of May, right?

Got to add during. There is a 2 minute window where a coach could be named.

Who cares? Worried about losing spring games or something?

Oh, I don't care because SMU doesn't care either.

Interesting leap. The fact that a coach has not yet been hired does not mean in any way that anyone at SMU doesn't care. All it means is that nobody has accepted the job yet, but your version certainly stirs the pot more quickly.

Had SMU not offered anyone, that would indicate a measure of lethargy or disinterest. The interesting thing about deals is that two parties have to agree.

Don't be rational. Just confuses 'em.

Ok, well thanks for letting me know. I appreciate how you have supported the irrelevancy of the men's basketball program for the last 20 years. Keep up the good work.

On to more important matters: This link details the results of the Wood Memorial that was held last Saturday at Aqueduct.

Now, Gemologist and Alpha finished first and second in the race and are scheduled to race in the Kentucky Derby. So if you want to start looking at odds, these would the be the two horses to review.

Time to start thinking about those mint julips....

By the way, I really enjoyed the movie Secretariat.
