"I want you to have a good time but if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock, I will crawl into the car, drive up to Oxford and cut off your penis."

--Sandra Bullock, playing Leigh Anne Touhy in The Blind Side

The most shocking news yesterday in a day of shockers? Jesse James cheating on Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock less than a week after her touching thank-you speech, in part, to him, and countless recent stories about their beauty and the beast romance.

Weird, wild, stuff. But just like Sandra did in immediately moving out, after a rough first day for the Big East, it's time to circle the wagons tight. Conference chest-thumping is irrelevant right now. It's a fun sideshow, but this isn't a support group, we're in this thing by ourselves.

If you get grief today, don't take the bait, focus on tonight, and the only place you earn respect; on the court. We're staring at Cal, our sole enemy, and a do-able task. Don't get distracted.
