Well, that's something. First, the news: The man they call Nemo and sometimes the Lithuanian Light Show has disappeared as abruptly as he arrived.

Xavier’s coach finally said what we’ve all been thinking. “That’s five fouls in a row.” That’s what Sean Miller said to the referees last night in what was, frankly speaking, a horribly officiated game.
Not with a bang, but a whimper Shape without form, shade without colour, paralysed force, gesture without motion That is actually a couplet from a poem by TS Eliot, not a description of Xavier’s offense in the second half.
The Musketeers have some very heavy lifting to do I am not, by nature, a negative person. Sure, that’s the role I play on the podcast and how the rest of the staff here sees me, but I always think the best will eventually happen.
