OK, I'm still in the hoops-womb, even at work, so I've gotta say this.

I HATE Gonzaga.

Their coach is a prick who hardly talks to the media (an uppity move, considering he INHERITED a winning program), and really, it's the program that WSU should have, if it could ever get its head out of its rear.

But The Ford LOVES Adam Morrison. Great big giant man-crush right here.

And it's all because of the 'stache.

When Gonzaga was trailing Xavier on Thursday, he knew (and informed his West-Coast-dismissive Motown coworkers thusly) that Morrison was gonna settle down and let the 'stache take over.

This has been said many times, many places, but it's between Morrison and Plummer for the best 'stache in sports.

(Plummer gets credit since the Mountain Man Beard began life as a 'stache.)

Just makes them fun to watch. If only Gonzaga'd show some team togetherness like BC did and have everyone grown the 'stache.

That. Would. Be. Awesome.

When Gonzaga loses by 20 later this week, I really won't feel too bad. But I'll miss the 'stache, that's for sure.

(And for what it's worth, to show his commitment to the idea of facial hair in sports, The Ford's got tickets to see Pittsnogle and West Virginia tomorrow. Should be pretty sweet as well.)
