And believe me: that humiliation will come. It's probably not Coach K's fault; he's relying on really young players who play in a league that encourages one-on-one play, and doesn't teach its youngsters how to pass effectively. And that's all international play is: a lack of selfishness. Alas, selfishness is most of what these kids have. Oh, yeah, that and bad foul-shooting.

Are the Red Sox completely cooked?

BoDog Bookmakers, BoDog.ws: No. Despite their recent struggles, the Red Sox stayed 6 1/2 games back in the American League East and four games off the pace in the wild-card standings. They've still got 37 games to play, including four against the Yankees and three each against the White Sox and Twins. If they can survive this upcoming stretch (eight straight road games), the Red Sox could really come on in September, a month where they play 16 home games.

The favorite college football team to win the National Championship on BoDog's board is Notre Dame, at 4-1. Are those odds so low because of the Irish's huge fan base?

BB, BoDog.ws: They're not too low. Granted the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are coming off a 34-20 loss to the Buckeyes in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl, but the timing seems right for them to make a serious run at the BCS National Championship. Quarterback Brady Quinn has been stellar under head coach Charlie Weis and a lot of their offensive and defensive players are coming back. Meanwhile, teams like Texas and USC have lost stars on both sides of the ball due to the NFL Draft. All signs point to either Notre Dame or Ohio State being the odds-on faves to go all the way.

Can you give us your favorite double-digit team (10-1 or higher) to win the 2007 NCAA title game, and tell us why?

BB, BoDog.ws: A good sleeper selection would be the California Golden Bears, currently at 12-1. While the USC Trojans have been making history the past few years, Cal has been quietly building. Now, with USC weakened by the NFL Draft, the Golden Bears could be on the verge of seizing control of the Pac-10. Last season, Cal went 8-4 with a potent rushing attack that had running back Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett in the backfield. The two backs combined for 2,245 total yards and 16 touchdowns. With both runners returning as juniors, Cal's offense figures to be even better. On defense, preseason All-American tackle Brandon Mebane leads a squad with eight returning starters. So, absolutely, a Pac-10 crown is within reach, and so is a national title.
