1. Which team will finish higher in the MAAC: Men’s or women’s basketball?
Tom Cleary: Women’s basketball. They got off to a rough start but seem to be on the right track now and will finish in the top three.
Elyse Raby: Tom and Chris think the women will finish higher, and I trust their judgement … most of the time.
Chris Simmons: Women. Yes, women actually can be good at sports. Surprising, I know.
2. Will 2008 be a better year for Fairfield sports?
Tom Cleary: With women’s basketball, swimming and diving and hopefully lacrosse having good seasons, 2008 should be a better year.
Elyse Raby: I can only say that it’ll be a better year for Fairfield sports photos, thanks to a new camera!
Chris Simmons: I guess it can’t get worse than 2007.
3. Will Memphis or Kansas finish the regular season undefeated?
Tom Cleary: Memphis will. The C-USA doesn’t have any teams that can beat Memphis, home or on the road. But it still won’t be easy for them, and Kansas is the better team.
Elyse Raby: I don’t watch college basketball … not even UConn.
Chris Simmons: Nope. And if they do, they won’t win it all. Bobby Knight will take someone out Tonya Harding style to keep his team’s legacy.
4. Is two weeks between the the NFL Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl too long to wait?
Tom Cleary: Yeah, just get to the game already.
Elyse Raby: It leaves me plenty of time to buy ice cream for a Super Bowl Sundae party!
Chris Simmons: For those of us who aren’t from New England or the Tri-State area, which is probably 2 percent of Fairfield, we’re waiting for the draft.
5. Best part of winter break?
Tom Cleary: Watching the Pats roll through the playoffs.
Elyse Raby: Playing futbol and spending time with Ecuadorian kids during the FU immersion trip to Duran, Ecuador. Amazing.
Chris Simmons: Watching “The Wire” and eating crabs.
