Jade to Ashleigh: "Who is this guy?"

Ashleigh to Jade: " I don't know, but he's supposed to be famous. I'll ask Laura."

Ashleigh to Laura: "Is this guy famous?"

Laura: "I think so. Maybe Crystal knows."

Laura to Crystal: "Do you know who he is?"

Crystal: "Not really, but he seems nice."

Marissa to Emery: "Who is he?"

Emery: "Don't you recognize him? Didn't you ever watch Nickelodeon when you were a kid? He's The Fonz!!! This is soooo cool. I can't wait to tell my Mom and Dad! The Terps with Henry Winkler. They won't believe it!"

Saturday Morning Update . . . With the Sweet Sixteen starting today, and the Terps playing Vandy in Spokane at 9 PM EDT, there's plenty to read. The Baltimore Sun has a column by Rick Maese about Maryland's need to play 40 minutes of basketball in a single game in order to survive and advance at this stage of the tourney, while Milton Kent sees a lot of the 2006 Terps in this season's Commodores. (Let's hope not too much.) Over on ESPN.com, Mechelle Voepel is also giving a bit too much love to Vandy. In The Tennessean, Vandy Coach Melanie Balcomb compares the Terps to the Lady Vols. (We're pretty sure she meant it as a compliment.) Meanwhile, the Washington Post's Kathy Orton has a very nice feature on Maryland's "unsung heroes," Jade Perry and Ashleigh Newman.

And no doubt there's local coverage of the Spokane Region teams in the Spokesman Review, but that paper actually charges for access to its web site, and that fee is just not in the BasketCases' budget! But from out on the West Coast there does come an entertaining column by Scott Ostler in the San Francisco Chronicle, who loves women's basketball coaches and reports on the speculation going on in Spokane about how (or what?) The Twins are eating while they are back home in Maryland while Mom-Coach B is several thousand miles away.
