I know I'm late on the Flight of the Conchords bandwagon, but I didn't have HBO until the other day when Time Warner decided to give me 6 months for free. So, I've been catching up on the Kiwis, and while there have been many moments of hilarity, nothing tops this ditty.

Nashville's Nigerian Nightmare
It's been a while since my last post, and you can thank law school for that. For those that care what classes I'm taking, here's my schedule:
*Amateur Sports Law
*ALR in Sports Law
*Trusts & Estates (damn Wisconsin Bar)
*Intellectual Property Law
*Internet Law
*Business Basics for Lawyers
*Sports Law Review (get 1 credit for it)
6 classes plus the law review might be too much, so I might end up dropping the Business Basics course.
For those that aren't here to read about my academic schedule, the biggest Vanderbilt related topic is that Festus Ezeli signed his scholarship papers and is headed to Nashville. Ezeli has a similar to story to Amobi Okoye in that he was born in Nigeria , came to the U.S., and tested higher than the grade level his age should have put him in. He graduated high school at 15 and has been taking community college classes for a couple of years. He has never played organized basketball, but he starred for his AAU team and drew offers from Florida, Ohio State, UCLA, UConn, and other big powers. He's very raw offensively, but he's supposed to be a great defensive player and should compliment the Oggmonster very well. Ezeli is going to redshirt this year to develop offensively, but it's hard not to admit we got a steal when 3/4 of the Final Four and the 2004 champion offered him a scholarship. Having that extra scholarship really helped Stallings, and it's hard to see why this isn't at least a top 25 class.
