Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde - Nova brings the thunder

Nova struggles against American, then takes UCLA behind the woodshed and destroys them by 20. The last time this year that a team scored 87 against Ben Howland's squad? Never. Maybe it's a reflection of Big East vs. Pac-10, or maybe this is just how the tourney goes--performance in one game is no predictor of success or failure in the next.

In EPL news, Arsenal looks like they've regained their scoring touch--3 goals in ten minutes, with 4 other clear chances. It was against Newcastle, granted, but it's good to see them put it in the back of the net.

Fourth in the EPL, through to the FA semis and Champs League quarters....not a bad position for a team that was struggling a month ago.

    Love the way they are playing right now, Arshavin has been a great addition.

    Can't wait for a healthy squad with a midfield of Walcott, Arshavin, Fabregas and Nasri.

    Agreed Heater. He's been the main reason for the recent success. Allowing him to play the roll of creator allows everyone else the opportunity to do what they each do best.

    And that midfield would be awesome to see in action. That, and they are all smaller than me. Big?
