Boston College beats North Carolina, falls to Harvard
Interesting week for BC coach (Malverne) Al Skinner, beating No. 1 North Carolina Sunday, then losing to Tommy Amaker's Harvard squad Wednesday. At least he didn't get fired for talking to the Jets.
(It was kind of like the Knicks beating the Celtics, then losing to Oklahoma City, only different.)
In other college sports news . . . the BCS Championship Game is on Fox tonight! This will be Fox's last title game, as next year it will be on ABC from the Rose Bowl.
In other college news, I watched SNY's new Big East studio analysts, Tim Welsh and Charles Smith, the other night and am going to give Welsh a pass on repeatedly calling Providence "we," as it's been less than a year since his 10-season term as the Friars' coach expired. He's got until Feb. 1 to stop doing that.
Welsh was born the day after I was. Cinzia de Ponti, Miss Italy of 1979, was born on the same day as me.

I was watching the BC-UNC game on NESN and I missed the last 90 seconds of play as NESN cut to a string of commercials. About as bad as the Heidi Game.
I was born the same day as Sam Donaldson. Unlike Sam, I do not don a toupee.
You can have your "Miss Italy" Neil, I've got Candy Barr and Shelly Hack.
In fact.......I'll bet your Miss Italy couldn't do this.....

I505: I was not referring to people born on the same date, I meant on the exact same day! Ms. Hack and Ms. Barr were born many years apart so I'm not sure which you are saying is the same age as you are. Whatever. My late mother's birthday was July 6, by the way, so she and you and Ms. Hack and Ms. Barr have that in common.
RE: John H: NESN admitted to being on an incorrect satellite feed of the BC game [Fox Sports sends out multiple network feeds and NESN was on one that ended early]
whoops....spent too much time on TFS last month and got brain freeze on the birthday thing
