The Bogut boomerang

Sports writers, especially those who vote on Heisman Awards and national players of the year, get some of the strangest things in the mail. Rob Daniels still has his Byron Leftwich bobblehead doll sent by Marshall a few years back. I recently received my Bogut boomerang courtesy of the University of Utah sports publicity office, complete with Australian Andrew Bogut's impressive stats.

Check out this Mike DeCourcy "Daily Dish" on what happened, or didn't happen, when he threw his boomerang in the garbage can. He offers an excellent explanation of why nobody sees Bogut play nor cares how impressive his stats are. Sunday, DeCourcy wrote that the Duke game is important for UNC because the Heels could use a quality RPI road win, much as I'd blogged over the weekend.

How come no one ever sends me cool stuff like boomerangs and bobblehead dolls?
