Fall TV is Back! And Syracuse is in the ACC?

I will be the first to admit, I do not have good taste in TV shows.  Not even close.  I watch a lot of crap, but I love the crap I watch!  Last night started a fall television extravaganza with Dancing With The Stars and Castle (both on ABC).  I am OBSESSED with Castle, I love love love this show.  I think maybe 10 people in the world watch it and enjoy it, but it must be just enough to keep it on television in the 10pm spot. For those of you who don't know, it's about a mystery writer (Castle) who's friend (the Mayor) allows him to follow around a female detective (Beckett) to gain inspiration for his new series.  He loves her more than anything in the world, but she's emotionally challenged (among other things) so as a viewer you never quite know how they're going to end up.  Her mother was also murdered by someone believed to be in the police department and Beckett is making it her life mission to find out who killed her mom...Just start from season one and watch it...Castle is hysterical and has some pretty witty one liners and I actually do laugh out loud. 



Now on to Dancing With The Stars! It's no secret that I love Maks (friends at my old job know this better than anyone else)...he's a New Yorker and my god just look at him.  I was very nervous when he was paired with Hope Solo, she's very pretty, but lets be honest, she doesn't really have the 'Erin Andrews grace factor' that Maks is used to with his partners (minus Ms. Alley)...but they did alright...better than Ron Artest... WTF is wrong with that man?  I know he's a little nutty, but he was a full-out wack job last night, hopefully we'll say 'Adios' to him tonight.  I also have a new found love with Carson...he mentioned glitter and sparkles approximately 10 times in his 60 second interview...then he started to dance and I fell in love.  He dances like an uncoordinated white girl (me) and he had me cracking up. 

Favorite of the night?  David Arquette who looked like a new man (and danced like one to)...he also said that his daughter, Coco was the light of his life...she was so freaking excited to hear her name, she actually looked at her mom and said "That's me! They're talking about me!".



Prediction?  Either Ron Artest or Elisabetta Canalis (George Clooney's Ex) go home tonight. And just for the record, Elisabetta isn't that pretty...George Clooney didn't wait 50 years to settle for her.

In other news, Syracuse to the ACC?  Really?  So long Big East, it's been real.  I said this Sunday and I'll say it again, our AD (Daryl Gross) has wanted nothing more than for Syracuse to be in the national spotlight and I honestly don't think  he cared how he did it.  The bottom line is that unlike other schools, lacrosse is our 'money maker'...we've won 11 Championships (one was taken away for a rules infraction, but we still have the most in the country with 10)..our lacrosse team competed independently until last year when they started playing in the Big East, where there is no competition for the Orange.  It also wouldn't hurt having Duke, UNC, Syracuse and Pitt in the same basketball conference...or would it?
