1. Women’s Basketball 5-0, best in Fairfield history?
Chris Simmons: It’s a little early for best ever, but the women are on their way. Wrice is a female Arenas, but with defense too.
Rob Fitzgerald: Great things happen when you return all five starters, especially after the steps they made last year.
Lily Norton: With all this feminism talk running through the office, I’m counting on them to do their best.
2. What is up with the Stag mascot?
Chris Simmons: Our chipmunk on steroids needs to move around a little bit. Pregame if necessary, just don’t get arrested like the Stanford Tree.
Rob Fitzgerald: I saw more life out of the stuffed mascot at the bookstore than I did from the stiff mascot at the Fairfield vs. Sacred Heart game. Maybe we need tryouts?
Lily Norton: I don’t know … but I think he’s kind of sexy.
3. College Football: BCS or playoff?
Chris Simmons: There will always be controversy no matter what. Either way, drop the “student-athlete” charade and call them pros.
Rob Fitzgerald: College football: The only sport where an undefeated season is completely meaningless. It’s about the game, not the money. Go with a playoff.
Lily Norton: If there is more than one undefeated team this season, I’d like to see more games. More men running around is always a good thing.
4. Will the Pats go 19-0?
Chris Simmons: Not when they play the Ravens next Monday. Terrell Suggs is knocking Brady out of the game.
Rob Fitzgerald: My only concern is dodging the tremendous irony that is the 0-14 Dolphins. Definitely not the Steelers, though; they lost to the Jets.
Lily Norton: I hope not. The Red Sox won and now this! It’s bringing down my New York pride.
5. Ultimate Christmas present?
Chris Simmons: All I want for Christmas is you.
Rob Fitzgerald: World peace. But no, really, Rock Band would be pretty sweet.
Lily Norton: Not to be a Fairfield princess, but I really would like a new car.
