The Jeff Jones Radio Show - Better Than FDR's Fireside Chats

There's a source of AU basketball knowledge that I'll admit I don't take advantage of: the Jeff Jones Radio Show. Jeff gets on with host Dan Laing and Athletic Director Keith Gill and recaps the previous week while previewing the coming one. JJ actually is pretty candid on this show, and you can get some great nuggets of knowledge from listening. We'll be doing a better job of recapping the show this season.

Anyway, the show is kicking off this weekend and will be taped live at Potomac Pizza in Friendship Heights this Saturday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Fans are invited to attend!

Potomac Pizza is located at 19 Wisconsin Circle in Chevy Chase, just off of Wisconsin Avenue and one block from the Friendship Heights Red Line Metro station. Coach Jones will share his perspective on the upcoming year and discuss Friday night’s season opener against St. Francis (Pa.). The conversation will then air on Federal News Radio 1500/820 AM beginning at 12:30 p.m.


Head on over to Potomac Pizza and get your AUHoops knowledge satisfied!

Despicable Redskins Owner Dan Snyder Steals Blue Crew's Slogan

Much maligned Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has committed yet another offense to fans in the District of Columbia. For once, Redskins fans (well, some AU fans may be foolish enough to pull for the 'Skins, but I'm not one of them) are not the ones being offended, no indeed, it is we, the loyal Blue Crew of American University.

Witness exhibit A, the back of a Blue Crew shirt circa 2006:



Now witness exhibits B and C, snapshots of an ad I saw when I was on Metro earlier this week:



If I'm AU Athletics, I'm calling General Counsel tomorrow morning to have them have a little chat with the folks over at FedEx field. If the "conversation" goes well enough, I see a brand new arena in our future.

Pro Deo Et Patria and GO EAGLES!
