Need a laugh?

ZAGS

OK, Zag fans, feel like crying but know you really need a laugh?

Go to this John Blanchette column and you might get both.

You may cry because you're laughing so much. That is, if you don't mind him making sport of your obsession with the Bulldogs.

What's wrong with the Zags (9-6) that they would lose so badly to a Virginia team that hasn't been all that impressive this season?

Nothing a couple West Coast Conference wins this weekend wouldn't fix. Given GU's tough schedule, the fact the Zags are at home starting Saturday (1 p.m.; KAYU; 1510-AM) and Loyola Marymount, Saturday's opponent is hurting (see this quick preview) and Monday's foe, Pepperdine is 4-12, you've got to believe that will happen.

Steve Bergum is soliciting your comments on his blog.

From Virginia, there is this game story from the Daily Press.
